Sydney, The Land With No Style

Why does Sydney have no style?  Because everyone here wears too much camouflage and cargo shorts.  And what's even worse is more often than not, they combine the two!  However, we shouldn't bash it so much, Sydney is a fun city.  We arrived the morning of January 12th around 6:45am.  After breathing the warm Australian air, we booked a hostel and hopped in a shuttle.  The shuttle ride was basically a tour of the city because he dropped off quite a few travelers before bringing us to Sydney Central Backpackers in Kings Cross, which is basically the backpackers district and only a few minutes from central Sydney.


After dropping off our stuff, we continued to rack up the walking miles through the heart of the city.  We walked through parks, down busy city streets, and received a few free Pepsis!  A quick visit to the Museum reviled not only some beautiful art, but an Indian Dance performance.  We enjoyed walking in the beautiful 88 degree weather, but it took its toll a little on me and I've got a red nose to prove it.  So many signs of America here from the Pepsi, to the numerous McDonald's, to finding Mai's favorite game at a nearby bar; Big Buck Hunter!


Lastly, we made big strides towards staying in New Zealand... by buying a plane ticket to get there!  We leave Thursday, January 14th at 9:55am from Sydney to Auckland.  Crazy.
