Happy new year everyone. Today we slept in obviously after our long night of festivities. After waking up we all put our bathing suits on and took a train to Bondi Beach. It was absolutely amazing. I totally want to move there. Except for the cost of living there is quite ridiculous. This Swedish girl told us that she has to pay about $430 a week for rent which means about $2k a month. I would need an extremely good job to pull that off. The beach was full of people. We ate lunch at a chicken restaurant and then spent a few hours on the beach. Then Jason, Ben, and I went to a bar for a few drinks and then met up with the rest of the group for dinner. We went to an Italian restaurant on the beach and I had the most amazing margarita pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I at the entire thing by myself. Then we took the train back and called it a night. Best new years day ever. We have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning to go to the blue mountains. too early for me to function. I'm definitely not excited. Oh by the way, I lost my phone. No idea where it is. So all I have is my American phone if you need to reach me.
