Movie and Nicholson Museum

I had a nice day with Kwang today :) We met at 10am to go to see the movie West at a cinema in Newtown. Even though the idea of going to see a movie that early may seem weird, those day shows aren´t actually a bad idea. The movie told about troubled youngsters in West Sydney. It was good seeing an Australian movie, and I even recognized a few of the places. After the movie we went to this cute little cafe and had the most delicious cappucinos! I really like finding new cafes to go to, either to talk with a friend or read a newspaper or magazine on my own. Then we walked through University of Sydney campus to Nicholson Museum. The campus is really nice with beautiful old buildings and large grass areas. It kinda reminds me of campuses in the UK, that I´ve seen in pictures. Sydney Uni is the oldest university in Sydney, and when it was built there weren´t many other buildings around so they had enough space for a nice and large campus. Unlike later when the UTS city campus was built and they had no choice but to make it just a single tall ugly building (they could´ve chosen different material but grey stone, though). The location of the UTS campus is excellent, though!

There were lots of prehistoric things at the Nicholson Museum: mummified remains of people and a cat, coffins, vases, statues... Most of them were from Greece, Cyprus, Rome and Egypt, and were as old as 1000 BC. I could recall familiar names such as Popeii and Tutankhamon. I was suprised there actually are that many prehistoric artefacts in Australia! After explorering the museum we both were hungry and decided to look for a nice restaurant in Glebe. We ended up eating cheap but delicious pasta meals at an Italian restaurant. Then I headed home to get ready for gym, and now that I´m home from gym I´m just sitting in my room... I´m planning on spending the night laying in my bed reading a girly maganize :)
