Loving sydney..wont mind going again if got money

Hey lets share some feedback ya....

FIrstly the hostel was great..coz it reminds me of our bunk ..haha..no prob adaptin..

anyway..the food was reasonably priced..min was like 6 bucks AUSD...well at least we were

mentally prepared... Some of us started to panick bout their finances on the 2nd day ( u noe who)

too bad cannot go blue mountains and hunter valley...althou i was strongly recommending it b4

the trip..some of us decided to go on the 2nd last day..well wat to do...too late liao

the pancakes on the rocks, sydney fish market, and fast food chains were awesome...

1kg of sashimi,lobster,oyster,sotong etc etc...and white wine...wah shiok...

but they dont seem to offer ketchup or chilli sauce for the fries and others one..hmmm

the weekend market were shiok to shop at...paddington,the rocks and paddy market

the aussie chicks were hot...CLeavaGE gaLorE...they like not afraid of cold one...

the beaches were nice to walk..from coogee beach to bondi like walking from 00 to braincell ba...

not VERY FARRR......

yar the walking and exporing were horrible..walked from 10am to night 10am...seh kar...

even got a chance to do some bouldering at the university of sydney..cool..

no a bad place to visit but muz bring more money...or else cannot enjoy the shopping and food..

the worse ice cream they have is like the best ice cream in singapore...

It sucks to be under 21

Okay good news...
Earnest gave me the website for the car rental that he recommended..
THe website is http://www.bayswatercarrental.com.au/

If u r too LAZY to check it out...here are the info
A corolla costs $20 a day and its auto
u need to rent using a credit card..
each ADDITIONAL DRIVER IS another $10

THe bad news is u cannot rent if u r under 21
additional $10 A DAY for damage risk
if really WHam bang , u have to pay $400
http://www.bayswatercarrental.com.au/contact.htm

so any one above 21?

Update for Aussie travellers

if u spendin $75 a day, for whole trip is $525
IN AUSD is 438.316 AUD

IMHO, dat is not enough...
*if we eat breakfast in hostel, two meals a day maybe total 20AUSD
WHole trip ( 7D )meal cost = 140AUSD
* Base on the info i posted earlier, i suggest puttin aside 200 AUSD for tourist attractions and contingencies
* hostel stay = 15AUSD per night = 105 AUSD?
* Transport and eating some finger food along the way = 100 AUSD
*shopping for clothes,bags,relatives etc = 200 AUSD ? to own's discretion

well dat is how i calculate..i dunno how u guys count la...
well my expectation is total 765 AUSD
i changing 1k singapore dollar = 834.889 AUD....not really much also

so juz for ur info la....dont go australia and change money..unless u bringing american dollar....

U guys can come post how u think u r going to spend and ways to cut cost...
it takes two ass cheeks to produce a fart..so please share...
