Across the globe to... Australia!

Where?: Sydney, Australia

Brisbane, Australia

When?: Once again, in the near future someday

Hotel?: Depending on if there are hostels, then I would preferably do that. The reason for this is because I believe that when people go on vacation, the last place they should be at in their vacation is their hotel room. Therefore I would much rather spend more money on tours and having fun then spending it on the place that I will only use to sleep and shower. That is Rochelle's Theory. :)

Duration of flight?: Over 20 hours, ooch.

Population?: 21,610,000 (Australia)

4,336,374 (Sydney)

1,857,594 (Brisbane)

Why Australia?: The question is why not australia? Australia is a beautiful country with lots to see. The animals along are just one category of things to see in Australia. Koala bears (picture on the left) and kangaroos are seen just like pigeons and dogs are seen in the U.S. That is insane because to us that are not used to seeing animals like that, that is just awesome to be privileged to see that all the time. I have two roommates who studied abroad in Australia and they had all good things to say about this country. The only thing that they didn't like from the country was something by the name of Vegemite, if you are Australian you know what this is. This is a brown paste that most people but on toast with butter that is made from yeast extract. If you did not grow up with this, chances are as a grown up you will not like this. Take it from my experience. 

For someone who goes on vacations for the beaches, Australia might not be the place for you. Their water isn't crystal clear like the water in the caribbean, on the other hand their water is a little rough which is why surfing is a big sport in this country. You will see surfers everywhere doing their thing. There are day surfing trips that can be found on Australian Explorer.

One famous attraction that one sees a lot on shows and on tv is the Sydney Harbour (picture on the left). This place has been seen on America's Next Top Model, Real World Sydney, and many more other shows and movies. There isn't anything special about this bridge. It is a very well known and used bridge in Sydney. People walk across it and cars drive past it. It is just special in the sense that being American that is a well known bridge that you see in a lot of different shows.

With regard to the nightlife, darling harbor and Circular Quay has a lot of different places to go to, to have a good time. Scruffy Murphy's is a good Irish pub to go to which has many different locations, even in the U.S. Just like in every country, there is a nightlife, you just have to go find it!

Good day mate!
