Day 4

June 11, 2011

Sydney is an amazing city, but it is very similar to Chicago, they both have harbors and they both have famous landmarks. Both cities, and maybe most cities, have a harbor and the cities use the harbors to import/export supplies. Also, both cities have landmarks like Sydney has the Sydney Bridge, the Sydney opera house, and the Sydney Tower while Chicago has the Willis Tower, originally the Sear Tower, both cities have very famous landmarks. While both cities have some similarities they also have differences. Some of the differences Sydney and Chicago have is that Sydney has a Market and different kinds of transportation. Sydney has a market instead of a mall, where they sell food and gifts that are made in Australia. Also, Sydney has different kinds of transportations, while some of the transportations of Sydney and Chicago are similar like taxis, cars, and subways they also have different kinds as well for instance Sydney has monorails, trains on one metal beam that it uses to propel its self forward, and Sydney uses boats like cruises and motorboats to take people from one side of a body of water to another. While Sydney and Chicago have some differences and similarities all cities are special in their own way, if it may be a famous skyscraper or a type of food all cities have something that makes them different.

We got on to a plane to Australia and when we got off we start walking though Sydney. We went to the Sydney tower and you could see a lot of Sydney’s famous buildings. After that we went to the opal museum to learn how opal is created and what kinds of opal are there. After we finished we did some sight seeing at the Sydney Harbor. We then check out the market and saw so much stuff. While we were there it started to rain and the guide, a few kids, and I went on the subway, while everyone else walked though the rain, back to the hotel.
