SYDNEY



Arriving in Sydney city I was kind of surprised that it looked allot like Chicago. All the tall buildings with a bunch of taxes  and traffic. This was my impression at first but as we spent more time in the city I noticed that even though the streets were crowded there wasn't nearly as much traffic as Chicago and also compared to Chicago seems so much more spacious. It was roomy to walk around in and the water also made it seem so much more refreshing compared to the polluted lake Michigan in Chicago. I also noticed that there are allot of Asians in Sydney. Instead of everything being either put in Spanish or English, in Australia things are put in either English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc. and like in every large city they have a china town. But other than that it was everything you would expect of a large city. Its everything you hear about or read about in books there is the harbor the opera house and the Sydney bridge during the day, but at night its a different story. At night is when all they party people come out and go clubbing and to my surprise Sydney knows how to party! Another thing that was very subtle but very different was the homeless people. I know that this might sound weird but it seemed like the homeless people were nicer and more civilized. In Chicago the homeless always look like they are gonna tackle you for money or kill you and eat you for dinner. But in Sydney they are very chill and relaxed like they love life and I don't blame them for being happy because if I was living in Sydney I would love my life too, even if i was homeless. I'm starting to see that there are many things that compared to America look way more amazing.
