to flat or not

after much internal debate, i have decided to live at home for a while to save money. trepidation abounds after living on my own for some time. very australian to live at home for periods of time. nice of the parents. question the sanity of the children.

but went with an american friend of mine who has also just arrived in sydney to help him find a flat. prices are ridiculously high and twenty-thirty people show up for each "inspection." very competitive. you have to be ready to present photo id, bank statements, letters from God on the spot to secure the position. and sometimes give a deposit.

after a day of looking, friend put in three applications. he is waiting to hear. we have fingers crossed.
