= === Visa Requirements ==== A visa is required for US Citizens to enter Australia (citizens of other countries please check with the appropriate authorities), a visa may be obtained electronically from the [[http://www.eta.immi.gov.au/|Electronic Travel Authority web site]].

==== Travel to/from airport ====

A taxi from the airport to the meeting venue or any of the listed hotels will cost between $30 and $50, depending on traffic. There's generally only a short wait to get a taxi, and a fairly orderly queue. This is probably the most convenient, and also the cheapest if you share with others...

If staying in Chinatown, the [[http://www.airportlink.com.au/directions/sydney-city.php|airport train line]] is reasonably convenient. A one-way ticket is $16.40. If you're staying in Pyrmont, you can still take the train, then jump on the [[http://www.sydneylightrail.transport.nsw.gov.au/|light rail]] from 'Central' to 'the Star'. You'll need to pay $4.60 (in cash) after boarding the train.

Some hotels offer complimentary bus transfers to/from the airport - check with your hotel when booking. ==== Hotels ====

Please note that I don't have any direct experience of these hotels! If you've stayed in one before (looking at you, Tab), chime in and recommend.

There are some close but expensive hotels:

There are also a number of decent cheaper hotels in China town. These are further away (~20 minute walk from the office) - note that there is a light rail line from this area to the office. Services depart every 10 minutes during peak and a return ticket (which can be purchased on the train) is $6.40.

I had a reasonable amount of success looking for cheaper rates (in many cases at these same hotels) on booking.com.

==== Airbnb ====

It can host 6 people, and 6 people have expressed interest.

  • Tab Atkins: Feb 4 to 13 (I'm here longer than all of y'all)
  • Tantek Çelik Feb 8 to 12 (departing that day)
  • Rossen Atanassov: Feb 6 to 12
  • Dave Cramer: Feb 7 to 12
  • Florian Rivoal: Feb 8 to 12

=== Network ===

The GoogleGuest network will be available throughout the building. No password is required.

=== Money ===

Its plastic. No, not that sort of plastic. Being able to swim and paper money are fundamentally incompatible. Side note: do not iron the money

More seriously, it's the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_dollar|Australian dollar (AUD)]]. See [[http://www.oanda.com/currency/table?exch=AUD&sel_list=USD_EUR_GBP_JPY_NOK_SEK_NZD_CNY_TWD_KRW&value=1&format=HTML&redirected=1|exchange rates]].

You should be able to use your credit card pretty much everywhere (especially Mastercard and Visa). Diners Club cards tend to attract a fee or not be accepted. Checks are not generally accepted.

=== Electricity ===

230V, 50Hz, 10A [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS/NZS_3112|flat, angled awesome pins]]

{{https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Australian_dual_switched_power_point.jpg}}

Notice the small switch on the side. Unless you flip it on, don't expect the power socket to do much for you.

Via the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKUZhoYJI3M|magic of pliers]], Australian and US power plugs are somewhat interoperable (I don't recommend you actually do this). === Tourism ===

Far too many tourists, especially in winter^H^H^H^H^H^Hsummer ==== Food ====

We have both kinds: pies and ..
