Today was mostly a travel day, a small quaint plane ride from Auckland to Sydney. We had sometime to explore the city by buss and we got to walk around a bit. It was lovely, I adored the many street performs and the careful detail and care that was put into its deign. The streets were filled with either friendly residence or anticipating travelers. It was wonderful but when we entered Sydney I couldn’t help but to long for the mountains and open horizon of New Zealand. Alec seemed quiet excited to show us around his city, he introduced to us a couple slang words thrown around in Australia, like the slang pushy, which means bicycle. The street signs were very similar to those in New Zealand, they all had adorable pictures with people obviously to big to fit into that tiny buss, and pictures of decapitated ligaments. All in all it was a fun day that had us all raring for the next.
Sydney unlike a lot of cities looked clean, with less people and stylized just right to represent the culture. The glorification points were just that, they were displayed this pride and shown to the travelers with the deepest amazement. It is unlike Chicago in several ways, these include the amount of people, amount of population, and the surprising lack of sport cars. Its much smaller than Chicago and its also a lot quieter, even in the city the people were kind and helpful, something rarely seen here. I liked it a lot for a city, something I’m not to keen on in the first place though. Chicago and Sydney couldn’t be more different when it comes to its atmosphere but its attraction and complexity they are quiet similar.
