Day 4 June 11th 2011

Today we arrived in Sydney and it was amazing. It was such a big clean city and we were taken to so many cool spots where we could see the Opera House and the bridge. We also went to one of the markets in Sydney.

Prompt: Sydney compared to other major cities

For expectations of Sydney, I knew that it was going to be a big city but I didn't know what it would be like in comparison to other cities such as Chicago and New York City. Because we live near Chicago, most cities seem like nothing because we always see Chicago which is one of the biggest cities in the world. Sydney is a very big city and is unique in its own ways compared to other cities. Sydney has a lot of unique buildings and structures that other cities do not have. However, in comparison to other cities such as Chicago and New York, they also have unique buildings such as the Sears Tower and the Empire State building and also the Opera house and that Sydney Bridge for Sydney. When we went to the top of the Sydney tower I was amazed at the view from all the way up there. It was very cool to be able to see all the different buildings of Sydney at once and we could also see the suburbs of Sydney. Walking around the city was quite the adventure because  we were exposed to a lot of the town and got to see one of the parks which had a really cool fountain in the middle. Everything in Sydney is just so much bigger and it is much like any other big city in America because there is a lot of traffic, people, and places to see and visit such as different unique structures and buildings. It is also a lot different because I feel like it is much cleaner than the US and the people are nicer. Compared to New York City, Sydney is a lot smaller suburb wise and in general because NYC has more parts where there are suburbs and also has more sky scrapers. Sydney does have suburbs and buildings but just not as much. Sydney is a very big city and has so much to offer just like any big cities in America.
