Bondi isn't the same place it used to be...
It's actually nicer.
When I was growing up on the east coast of Australia, Bondi was a slum. It was crap. Nobody really wanted to live there, it was just a haven for hippies a surfer dudes to get high and hit the beach.
Like most urbanisation, Bondi has been transformed. There are still a few rickety beach apartments, some rusty shacks and mouldy houses, but for the most of it, Bondi has nice new apartments, rows of shops, trendy cafe's and pubs. I really enjoyed being there.
At first I was afraid that going there would make me sad, especially to see some landmark realestate being developed (I had family that lived there) but I enjoyed the experience. The only thing I didn't have time to do was go for a swim!
