I have been in Sydney for 5 days now and i seem to be settling in and having a brilliant time. It was 35c when i arrived on saturday which was a very nice welcome indeed.
I really like Australia, it all feels very familiar and yet is actually the other side of the world, everyone here seems alot happier and i'm sure its to do with the weather! One of the most striking differences is the houses and streets and things. I think perhaps it all feels familiar because everything reminds me of Ramsey street, i'm not even joking its a very weird thing.
Another observation I have made is that rather than adopting some pseudo australian accent which i was sure i was going to I have in fact become more english. I think it's because I just like to be different where ever I am! I'm feeling very pleased with myself about that!
Yesterday I went into the city and did some exploring on my own which was great I really really love Sydney, it is very fun. I have actually seen the harbour bridge and the opera house in real life! All the tourist shops are exactly the same as in London just full of Australian souvenirs like cuddlely kangaroos and pencils with koalas on and boomerangs. Its horrid cos i hate those sort of shops in England but i find myself strangely drawn to them here! Being a tourist is weird and i'm trying to battle with it and make the most of it! It's great! the strangest thing I have found so far is that the trains are double decker. it makes so much more sense than our stupid english ones!
sorry there are no photos of my own yet.
