4 beautiful days in Sydney


I'm finally on holiday! After coming back from hectic but beautiful 4days in Sydney, my last paper ended this afternoon. I'm truly free for next 2 weeks..such a great feeling! Before I'll get more things to post here, I'm going to write about my great 4day-adventure in Sydney..













My first impression of Sydney; busy, metropolitan and big! It was such a contrast from more cultural and classic atmosphere of Melbourne, and I even felt a little overwhelmed by those massive skyscrapers.



Of course, we went to see Opera House, the most symbolic architecture of Australia! Visiting Opera House was one of the things which I've been looking forward to during this trip. No need to tell; it was amazingly gorgeous. The view of Harbor Bridge from Opera House was also beautiful.












On the second day, we took the tour to the Blue Mountains and saw the beautiful canyon from the cliff. It was huge and magnificent! By the way, we were mostly on the bus during the trip, and each day four of us were all totally exhausted from the long journey to the out back.





We also made a journey to Port Stephen, which is located upper north of NSW. Especially the dolphin watching was great fun!













On my last day in Sydney, we tried one of the most popular Japanese restaurants. The place was packed, and we waited more than a hour.. but the meal was totally worth it! Also there were thousands of restaurants in Sydney, and we enjoyed lots of different world cuisine each day!










The trip was great, but what I most enjoyed was those wonderful times with the girls. During the 4days, I had great time with them, and I even discovered more of their cultures. Thank you Reina, Kay and Sumita. It definitely became one of the best memories of my life here.

Lastly, some random fun moments from awesome 4days..






Happy holidays!
