Today started off pretty slow but got more and more fun as it went on. Today we didn't do anything major but it was the first day in Sydney and the city is astounding. The people here are all well spirited and it all reminds me a lot of New Zealand besides the fact that here is a giant city. Compared to Chicago the two cities fell a like in some ways but have a lot more differences than similarities. Both cities have that whole not stop action feel,everything moving everyone with places to go things to do. The one difference i feel between the cities is how less packed everything here in Sydney is. The buildings dont all stand right next to one another their space and the city itself goes on for miles as far as you can see. Sydney over all feels open and although it is a city it doesnt quiet feel like it, i mean to say its one with nature at the same time as being this big industrial place. In Sydney you feel one with the nature and the feeling only get stronger as you get closer to the water and Sydneys harbor. The opera house and the bridge are just as awesome as all the photos ive seen of them and the harbor itself is a bit breath taking.
We went to this giant tower today in the middle of Sydney where at the top you could see all of Syndey for miles, it was an awesome view. Buildings of all kinds, a faris wheel, and stadiums the view honestly couldnt be compared to anything and no camera could possible capture the view. Next we went to the mall, but i wasnt feeling it. The local mall by us had more varity and shops than the one we went to and everything in the mall was over priced not that i was interested in buying anything. The last thing we did today was go out ot eat in groups and the teachers picked where to eat. My group went to the crappest place in town called Istabul it was not very good and the wait toke forever. I was hopeing for a nice sit down place but that didnt happen instead we settled for werid local fast food which wasnt to bad, but not to good either.
