sunday in sydney

Let’s see…what haven’t I done for a while? SHOPPING! Sunday morning Majo and I went to the “Rocks Market”. It’s a market of all sorts of cool, arty vendors just off of Circular Quay. I found a couple awesome necklaces and got some cheap postcards. The market has a great atmosphere!

Later we met up with Helena and her boyfriend, Jorge, to go to the Powerhouse Museum. It was a “free day” because of a new exhibition of water conservation. Majo, Helena, and Jorge are all biomedical engineer majors and are really interested in how things work – so they were in heaven there. I enjoyed it as well! I did all the fun hands on stuff like “make a firework” (I thought of you, Mel!) and played with fun magnets.

That nite Majo and I went to a show at the Opera House! It wasn’t a full-blown opera (those cost a pretty penny). It was a show in the “the studio”… i.e. it was cheap. (is that proper usage of i.e.??? Ah well.) Anyways, it was called “Skin Quartet”. The quartet played 7 different movements that coincided with the 7 continents. While they were playing different pictures of skin appeared on a big screen along with the names of the different nationalities. It was very technological and the musicians’ music was displayed on a laptop. It was crazy! As you can tell, the show was pretty “arty”, but interesting! It was so cool just to be in the opera house watching a show! What a weekend!
