Vivid Festival and awful Sydney weather

Finally it's clearing up again but the thunder over the past few day was really heavy and frightening, especially when you live at the beach. Yesterday morning the waves at Bondi Beach were insane. Never seen waves this bigbefore...And all the sand seems to have blown up to the promenade as you can see in the picture.

Last week there was an intern meeting at the Vivid Festival. It was very nice and colourful. You should take the chance to go there if you haven't been there yet. Thanks Katelin for the lovely pictures :)

Since the weather couldn't have been worse on the weekend, I decided to do some inside activities. On Friday I went to Cargo Bar for a farewell party for one of our interns. It feels strange to let new friends go and it also reminds me that there are only 4 more weeks left of my internship :(

Saturday some friends and I went to the DFO Homebush Outlet Centre. We took the train to Strathfield (northern line from central). You can take the bus 525 to the mall. The way to the bus station is a bit confusing, you have to leave the train station and go through a tunnel to the bus station.

Saturday night I met some other friends and we went to different pubs in Surrey Hills. It is a very nice area and you can find many original pubs to spend the evening. We also heard some live music which was nice.

On Sunday I used the bad weather to go to the museum. Normally I don't like to go to museum's because my parents always forced me to go when I was younger, but now I think it is a good thing to do on a rainy day.
Some other interns and I went to the Museum of Sydney. It is located on Bridge Street next to Circular Quay.
You can learn something about Australia's history and the impact of the World War I and II on Australian Society.

I hope we all stay dry for a couple of day's and I hope you guys have a nice day off on Monday.
