Bonnie was new to couchsurfing, and I was her third guest. She worked in Sydney, and lived with Tom and Eliza in Newtown, a very close suburb to downtown Sydney. It's also right next to the University of Sydney, so it's got a college town feel to it. Supposedly it has one of the highest concentrations of Thai restaurants in the southern hemisphere, however despite the endless cheap lunch options ($4 for Thai - yum!), I wouldn't get to take advantage.
I arrived on Bonnie's doorstep and she made me feel right at home. It felt great to escape the hostels, especially as I was just about to come down with a cold which would put me out of commission for a few days.
Bonnie was also hosting a Japanese guy at the time I was there. He did musical street performances and could juggle. That's about all I can remember. Oh, and he makes a great pizza.

Too bad for the cold you getting better? How many days you staying?
Dave says
I'm mostly over the cold now - it and the Sudafed wore me out for a good 5 days.

Sick sucks. Been battling that here too. Is that why you've been able to get so nicely caught up on the posting? Are you feeling better?
Dave says
Yep - I got into a groove with the daily postings. I like to write a lot too, if you can't tell.
