View from apartment
Wow! It's much greener and less of a concrete jungle than expected. The twin towers are STUNNING - like giant wedding cakes (or someone else described them as giant corn cobs!). There's a 1.5km springy running track around a park en route from "home" to office, lovely. "Home" is amazing - I feel like I'm living in a Freedom showroom, with ottomans galore - the furniture is exactly my taste. "Home" has a definite 'hotel room' feel about it at the moment, but once I've filled it up with Lauren's paintings and more Claire clutter, it will be better.
The shopping centre near my apartment (underneath the Twin Towers) is a zillion floors high and open till 10pm. Full of all stores like Zara that you see in Europe but not Oz, so I'm going to have to show restraint and not buy every darn thing that fits. I think the struggle here could be finding the time to do all the stuff I want to do, while also trying to fit in that pesky Work Thing.
Andrew picked me up from the airport this afternoon, checked me in and took me for a walk around town which was lovely. We are going for dinner tom night with his g'friend and my other colleagues. Then out for dinner Wednesday night with more colleagues, and then to a another dinner thing Thursday night. The kitchen in my apartment is a bit pokey and that's fine because I doubt I'll be in there much!
