Newtown

To start off I'm going to be a bit serious: I am part of this organisation called Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) and they are running a conference called Power Shift. It is fighting against Climate Change. It's looking to be really fun, so I think you should all go. www.AYCC.org

Now to the fun part.

So I was in Newtown today just cruising. And we all have this idea in our head that Newtown is really cheep, do we not? With heaps of Op Shops and all that kinda jazz. But did you know, its not?
What happened to the good old days when newtown was known for being really cheep? A place we're uni students could rent an apartment at because Enmore Road and King Street were both really cheap shopping strips. Now its gone all up market on us without us even noticing.
I was cruising through one shop on King Street which shall remain namless, to find only one peice of clothing under $59.99, which was 50% off.
Okay, maybe I was going in all the wrong shops, but its not as if we only went into a couple. We had gone into all the ones that looked like our style, and nothing.

So after half a day of shopping I came out with a, and wait for it, a old curtain that cost me $10. I will be using it as a table cloth for my dressing table, I geuss. At least my friend had more luck.
