Sydney - Future Music Festival and first few days at Google

So we have been in Sydney now for exactly 1 month. James has been the bread-winner for the last 2 weeks has been bringing in the salary while Sarah has been sorting out life in the back office (and waiting to start Google).

To celebrate our first month here we decided to go to Sydney's Future Music Festival at Randwick racecourse with our friend Emma (also from Wokingham who lives over here now).

It was like rolling back the clock 10 years to our festival days with  the likes of Fatboy slim, PVD and Sven Vath playing, plus new-ish acts Swedish House Mafia,Chase and Status, Oliver Huntemann, Friendly Fires and Gareth Emery!!! Awesome...

Now, these festivals are a little different to the ones we're used to at home.... Wait for it... they start at 12pm and finish at 10pm. It was held on the race-course in the city which was a 20min walk home! Result! This meant we were back at Emma's flat and tucked up in bed at 11.30pm. Compare this to Reading festival where you don't get home until 3 days later...

Sunday we all woke up after a great 8hours sleep and went out for brunch, and we didn't even feel hungover!

Sarah started with Google on Monday 12th March, which was an intro to life at Google which mainly consisted of a free food extravaganza (as always breakfast, lunch and dinner are free)...

Quote for the day from Sarah " I will NOT put on the 'Google Stone' ". "However the first day is an exception"

Who could turn down free magnum ice-creams, sushi, steak and salad, yoghurt, fruits, nuts, rice cakes with peanut butter, red bull, diet coke, fruit salad... to name a few.. mmmmmm (oh dear).
