TTFN

I’m leaving sydney after a whole 8 days. In that short time, I feel like I really got to know the place. And now we’re great friends. So much so that I am sad to say goodbye. I learned a lot from my new pal. Like…

*Cities are best when they’re around water.

*I can’t live without Chinese pastries, found in Sydney Chinatown and probably in China as well.

*Sydney was originally home to the aboriginals, who were mostly obliterated by smallpox when the Brits came over to build a penal colony. They called it a social experiment.

*Meusli + yogurt + honey = magic

*Since there aren’t any illegals in Australia to do the dirty work, pretty much anyone can get a work visa and do anything from pick fruit to drive buses to round up cattle. It’s a great system that gets a slew of culture into the country.

*Kangaroos can lean back on their tails and kick their legs. So the tail is kinda like a 3rd leg.

*Bats help pollinate! And they live in the city’s botanical gardens.

*Ferries are an excellent form of public transportation.

*I LOVE Sydney.
