Chinatown has lots to offer in the way of food, including chicken buns for under two bucks and four emperor's puffs for a dollar. (Chinese New Year bueno) I shouldn't tell them how tasty these are, or else they'll raise em to normal Sydney prices. (which are regularly malo)
On the way to Tropfest, an annual short film festival held in Sydney (bueno), the overcrowded buses forced me to hoof it up to Bondi Junction and take the very same buses, only emptied out. I got to Tropfest an hour and a half late. (malo)
From Central Station, they offered shuttle buses right to the cricket grounds for the Australia-West Indies 20/20 match (bueno). Oh, but you couldn't use your regular bus ticket, you had to buy a special return ticket, even if you weren't returning (nooo bueno).
There's a pedestrian walk on the Harbour Bridge into the city. Instead of taking the bus a few weeks back, I hoofed it across the bridge while it's still staying light until 7 (bueno, bueno).
Speaking of summertime hours, I've fallen into the habit of either running to, or running beforehand, and then going to the beach around 6 or 7. (so very bueno). Today, however, there was a tsunami warning after an earthquake in Chile. (obvious malo).
Foxtel (the cable service) has four new channels dedicated to Olympic coverage from Vancouver (a cool bueno), but even for long-time subscribers, they charge us for these channels (lame malo).
I recently noticed they sell Ben and Jerry's here now (bueno!). Oh, but it costs $12.50 for a self-sized carton (uhhh, seriously? malo).
The train to work is quicker and arrives more frequently, but it's pretty depressing and there are changes. The bus ticket is cheaper and no changes, but it takes longer and only arrives once every 20 minutes. (hmm, both bueno and malo).
I have a really cool girlfriend (bueno), who currently lives 17,000 miles away (muy malo).
I recently went bowling for friends' birthdays (bueno), but bowled by far the worst score of the group (feo). A group that included guys and girls.
