Got in at 5am slept 4 hours and now I am up. Other than the Harbour Fireworks most people see around the world, NYE is pretty ordinary in Sydney City (When will Sydney realise it can't rest on just on having a great postcard harbour) .
Queued for 1/2hr to buy one round of drinks and the only consolation is that the young student barman didn't know what a Chivas Regal or a Glenfiddich is and charged me the same amount he would for the non-name crap spirits they use to make mixes. (e.g. The Piping Scotsman Scotch, Black Beard Run, Baltika Vodka). The banana I believe may have also charged me for a single when I asked and watched him pour doubles. The final tab came in way too low.
A little tired, slight headache. Will survive. Cool weather has helped. Watched an hour or so ago Paris and Berlin on cable.
