There's something that makes me feel so grown-up-ish about being to navigate the railways of an unknown city.

Sydney is hardly an unknown city, but, for me, it is, and not just unknown, but huge as well. And there's nothing like the complex railway system to intimidate first-timers.

I spent my first weekend in Australia at a good friend's place. The reason I'm blogging about this is because I found my own way there and back. Initially, I was anxious about the whole idea of just plunging into something that no one has taught me of. But, of course, there was nothing to be worried about. I was armed with a timetable of trains, and, if I really did get lost, there were always people to ask for directions.

Now the only thing holding me back is money. It's not really cheap to travel, especially when taking country trains from the city. (Avondale is a good two hours away from Sydney.)

Another accomplishment to add to the list. The next thing to tackle: navigating the college library.
