Sydney Australia

Finally I’m in Sydney, this is a very nice and exciting city.

On my first night here, I went out to a place just around the corner of our flats, called the Wise Monkeys - a nice place to have a drink and go back to the 90’s (lol).

Ania had been feeling ill, and now I am… so the first week I have been in bed all day drinking tea!

We had a task in Sydney, which was to throw a party, but also Smirnoff in Sydney is a popular brand so we have been working with the media here. We went to a very nice café lounge and had an interview with a local paper, a photo shoot session and a nice chat about the Smirnoff Experience.

After that we were starvingggggg! So we decided to go to eat, Takashi suggested Korean food, so Steph, John, Takashi, Thai Ben and I went to a Korean restaurant. The food was unusual, new flavours in my mouth but I didn’t like it that much…I have to admit that.

We went to a local radio station; it was exciting, but quick. The next day we had one more photo shoot session here, I’m not used to it yet, but I think that I will.

Our days have been very amusing, we went to a bowling bar in the harbour of the city, where we spent a good time bowling, you can drink and eat in the place, they play nice music and there’s an outdoor bar too.

We visited a lot of different bars, but the Lotus Bar was one of my favourites because the decorations were beautiful and they have the best cocktails I ever tried before. In fact, they have won a lot of awards with their cocktails.

We went to an original place called the World Bar, which serves their drinks in teacups, and in the second floor they have art exhibitions.

So I have two weeks here in Sydney now, yesterday was our Smirnoff Ten Experience party, we decided to do a cocktail party, with artwork from each member of the team. Everybody was very excited about this idea. I think that I was the most excited with this, because I was in charge of setting up the place and I was like a fish in the water.

I met up with a Mexican friend, he was travelling to a festival of 6 days of folk music to Toowoomba, so we met for a few hours here, but I was happy to see a friendly face!
We went to the Opera house, I saw one guy who has been travelling around the world for 17 years, he was a didgeridoo player, and I made some footage of him because I really like his music.

For Christmas we had a very nice dinner, I cooked some pasta for my friends, and on the 26th we went to a killer day out party, crazy people, crazy music, crazy place… so we had a very wild day!
The music was quite different to the music that we are usually used to hearing, because this one was new mixes of the old electronic music from the 90’s.

The Australian people are really crazy; they just want to have fun. This city is too wild for me, but anyway I still like Sydney, somebody says that Melbourne is better,
Lets see what is waiting for us there, perhaps… Groove Armada are playing for NYE!
