Easygoing Sydney, Australia

Submitted by Justin Naylor on the 2018 summer session internship program in Sydney, Australia sponsored by the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics…

Today marks one week since I have landed in Sydney. The jet lag has worn off and now I am starting to become familiar with the city. Our seasons are opposite so we are currently battling “winter” with a harsh 65 degree temperature.

All around Sydney are light shows called “VIVID”. There are 15 light show locations placed strategically around the city, showing off its most historical and popular  locations. The light shows are incredible and VIVID attracts tourists from all around the world.

There is a very easygoing and laid back culture in Sydney, making it hard not to love. The people are very friendly and outgoing, more so than back in the States. The city has endless trendy places to explore and a never ending variety of food to choose from.

Week one has been nothing short of amazing, so I am excited for the next seven weeks to come.
