Bondi Beach: Mantanks & Havaiana Flip Flops, aka thongs.

Day 1. Landed in Sydney, made it to hotel, quick shower, hop on a bus, and it’s Bondi Beach time….30 minute ride or so from the city, but worth it.  Initial thoughts:

– The commute to and from city to beach every day could suck, but worth it
– Aussie breakfast > American breakfast
– Aussies love their mantanks
– Aussies love their havaiana thongs
– It will take me some time before I am comfortable referring to anything I own as ‘thongs’
– Chapstick costs $6. wtf.  
– Coffee & Diet Coke are better down under.

For Shobin:

Skate park near south end of Bondi. Practice ground for the next Tony Hawk. This kid was maybe 4 years old, max. Killed it:

Found a place in Bondi. Dude on the team is moving to Tokyo…room all ready for me to move in. All set for the endless summer:
