Day 1
I hopped off the plane and was extremely excited by the thought of being alone in a new city. I didn't have any trouble with the trains, very similar to Japan, you find where you want to go, join the dots, follow the colours, bada bing bada boom, your there! You never need to look up train times because the longest you will wait is 5, maybe 10 mins. I got off at the necessary train station and tried to get a cab to David's. The cabby took me to the wrong place, so take two, try a different cabby. Luckily this one could understand English a little better, I arrived.
I walked through the gate to David's and spoke to the lady at the gate, told her I was here to stay with Mr David Hall. She waved me through, I went up the stairs to the entrance but there was a locked door, I tried to ring the buzzer but I was not doing it correctly or something, but then the gate buzzed open, I wasn't quite sure how. Anyway walked through and then went up to level 10 and knocked on his door. I was greeted by an Asian lady and a dog, does David Hall live here? Yes she said and let me in. Her name was Tes or Tesa. She lives here with David and does the cooking and cleaning. I entered and then found Polly and Joe (Davids Parents). I put my things down and said hello. Not too long after that The Trainer (David) came home and then his girlfriend Jamane. David had a meeting in the city so Jamane drove us all in Davids big boss car, the Asian van version of a limo is how I would describe it. We dropped David off and then Jamane took me to a shopping centre called IFC. It was mainly all the big brands so I left the shopping centre and began wandering the streets, I found some markets and small alleyway stores which had cheap jewellery and clothes. I then went in search of food. I found a underground noodle bar and I enjoyed a wonton noodle soup for $2.50 AUD. So good, cheap and yummy! I just wandered the rest of the day and then went home for dinner.
