First Impressions of Randwick

I made it to my place in Randwick (just south of Sydney).  I'm staying here for two days b/c the location is right across the street from tomorrow's show, the Future Music Festival

Wow -- this place is a shit hole.  Well, I have to qualify that; it's not Philly shitty (but then again, I'm not sure there's a place on the planet that is).  The room in which I'm staying doesn't have windows (oh, there's space for the window, there's just no glass), so I was advised by the owner to light some mosquito coils tonight.  It's also raining.  Unfortunately, I'm at an Internet cafe, so I can't upload the pics - the owner of the place wants to charge me $10 per day to use her Internet connection.  I've walked round a bit, and the best thing I can say is that this place feels like a crappier version of west campus, complete with the dirty 1990s drag. 

Sorry -- my focus is a little off right now; the guy next to me at the cafe is surfing porn.  Maybe I'll go get a Thai massage at one of the three parlors I counted in a 45 yard strip of sidewalk.

I just want to get a good night's sleep and be ready for the show (and get the hell outta here -- I'm heading to Bondi Beach on Sunday).
