I was so happy when we finally got to Sydney, because this
is the place I most wanted to go to. I LOVE CITIES! And plus it was New Years
Eve! We had dinner at a place near the harbor at the Rocks that used to be a
prison. Sydney used to be a place when convicts were sent from England because
there was no room in the homeland. Eventually the mayor did a social experiment
to see if they gave the convicts land, if they would behave better. They did
and years later we have the Sydney we know today. Now Sydney is the sixth
richest country with a GDP of almost a trillion dollars and having only 22
million people and being the fifth largest country it isn’t that hard. During
our stay we visited a couple museums. My favorite being the modern art ones,
which never fail to impress or surprise me. We were of course were not going to
miss the Sydney Opera house. Opened by Queen Elizabeth 1973, the beautiful
design of the sails was designed by Jørn Utzon With more than one million self
cleaning tiles, an 10,000+ pipe organ, and concert hall with 2769 seats, this
massive building took 16 years and 102 million dollars to build. I was so happy
to see the beautiful building I had always heard about. But to me, what was
more beautiful, were the giraffes at the zoo! I have an obsession and I think
my brother and I took around 1,000 photos just at that section of the zoo. And
of course I couldn’t leave a city like this without paying my dues to Topshop
and Zara!
