After a long 14 hour plane ride sitting next to a Canadian and an Australian, I have finally landed in Sydney, Australia!! There are no words to describe how unique and intriguing this city is. I am already having a great time, and I've only been in Australia for less than a day. My hotel is near Rushcutters Bay, but we've been walking around King's Cross alot (which is a red light district) and the town hall area. The sites and architecture are comparable to Chicago, but the people and weather are unlike anything I've seen before. Tomorrow we are touring Sydney harbor, and I'm excited to finally get to see the Opera House and ride a ferry around. I got to talk to my roommate on the phone, and she has only said geat things about my apartment (an answer to my prayers) and the Brisbane area in general. Surprisingly, I've only had a little bit of alone time since I landed, and I'm looking forward to a good night of sleep. As of now, I have been able to use free internet in an Apple store and a McDonalds...I thought that was pretty ironic since I usually hate going into both of those places. Well, until I can find internet again...
