So I started working for the Merivale corporation at The Ivy. A $164 billion dollar property, I would not call it "some bar". The place is INSANE and SO nice. Not a college park pub or anything like Baltimore. The Hemmes family is the owner and creator of this Vegas inspired scene. I am working at Ivy Bar. However, there are about 6 restaurants, bars, clubs, and even stores amongst the property. I am most amazed by the pool that opened this thursday. $1500 for a cabana and only "members" can get in. The "changing rooms" are amazing and it is actually a night club. Thats what the club is called. I cant imagine what will be going on in there.
There is a sushi train restaurant and at 10pm, employees can pay $15 for all you can eat. There are also a bunch of stores on the property where we can get discounts.
Yesterday some guy bought 3 bottles of moet ($140 each) just to send over to other people. This was lunch time and he was STILL there at 6:30 when I got off....
Everyone that come in is coming from work so it is a very nice and classy scene. No tank tops for me. We actually have to wear Ivy Jeans, converse that we get from them and a nice shirt that apparently retails for $100.
Sunday the Australian MTV awards after party is being held there. Very cool.
So, I will be working there here and there. Making my rent and money for the week along with new friends and a great learning experience ( I have to take 5 tests for it).

Welcome to my life in Sydney, Australia. Last summer (Australia's Winter) I studied abroad throughout Australia and FELL IN LOVE with the country. For the past year, I knew I had to come back. While everyone goes to LA or NYC to pursue dance (or any career these days) I've decided to move down under. Join me on this life journey, with trials and tribulations as I find my place in the work force on a continent where kangaroos roam and summer is beginning. CHEERS
