After getting a taste of living alone, we wanted to have another stab at getting a whole apartment. We looked at airbnb and found this.
 |
| It was expensive. |
But we would have the whole thing for ourselves and it even had a dryer. Only the dryer didn't dry anything, it only warmed the clothes up a little. And the bedroom looked like this in reality when the sun was on the best place for maximum illumination.

| It's like the version of the bedroom in a Zelda dark world. |
We were a bit bummed but otherwise the apartment was well equipped and it was comfortable there. The guy renting it to us gave us two additional days with a short term notice for a cheaper price so in the end it was OK.
The neighborhood was actually pretty apart from the street we were living because we were looking at a bulding site where they were upgrading the train station.
 |
| A 15 min walk away was the shopping street. |
The shopping street has everything you want to have on an every day basis including every kind of food in restaurants. This concentration of restaurants is the one thing missing from Sydney somewhat.
Two train stations further away we had a Greek neighbourhood.
 |
| No non-Greek restaurants on this street. |
The first thing that happened when I got out of the train is being stopped by someone trying to sell me something. When I told him that I am Greek he made a comment that everyone is a Greek here. And it is true. You could see it in the faces. It was hilarious. I went to the bank and there was a woman called Maria there and on her shirt she had a name tag that said "I speak Greek". I asked her for a good restaurant and she sent me to one.

| There is a non-Greek shop here but we are not going to hold it against them. |
In there, every table was full there so I sat with another guy. He was probably 35, Greek (of course) and was going to Greece in a couple of months for the first time. I don't know how to feel.
