We finally departed Thailand and have arrived in Sydney, Australia. The first weekend upon our arrival, we had the freedom to explore this beautiful city. Personally, I felt that Sydney was very similar to New York City except not as dirty or crowded. The people were friendly and always seemed relaxed, never in a rush. I liked that about Sydney and knew I would enjoy my time here. With my free time, I decided to check out a few local restaurants and coffee shops as well as some significant landmarks. I used public transportation for the first time to move around the city where I saw the beautiful St. Mary’s Cathedral as well as the Botanical Gardens. My favorite landmark so far was Darling Harbor. Darling Harbor is basically a harbor in the center of Sydney where they have various restaurants, bars, shops, and hold frequent events. I have one more week here in Sydney and plan to see the pretty beaches, blue mountains, and maybe catch a sunset as well.
