G'day!

The "watch left and stay to your left" is key here, and I have to make a conscious effort everytime I cross the street, walk, stand on the escalator, etc. Its soo backwards to me, but I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of it. What? It only took a few near-death experiences...

I'm super tired after being on my feet the whole day and have to re-pack things and get organized for an almost 2 week excursion up north to Cairns and then back down to Sydney. Hopefully things will be more entertaining for my blogs! I know there are lots to do there, but the thing I'm most excited about is going scuba diving! yea! A life dream will finally come true - scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef! Yeaa!!

In case your interested though (hehe), today the family friend took me around many bay areas, which was super beautiful because we FINALLY had a warm sunny day (its been overcast and kinda cool). Went to Woolloomooloo (seriously, thats the name), an old shipping wharf, the Towers Point (the tallest building in Sydney, a whopping 250m above the ground. Sorry to sound snooty about it, but coming from Chicago, land o tall buildings, I can't help it!), more botanical gardens (which is HUGE and just ah-mazing. Its a park for all/botanical garden), Opera house again, and ended the day with a Wildlife museum, which was really cool (speaking of, the aquarium and wildlife museums are open till 10pm every night. Isn't that cool?!?!).
