Beautiful Sydney (1)

Day 3, paid 25 dollar and take a cab to go to the airport, met my family. 2 flights, 1 from Melbourne (my uncle) and the other from KL (my mum) arrived almost at the same time. Was so so so glad that I had the chance to have a holiday with them =) .

The kids were craving for MacDonalds . And, I realized that mum is really getting old.

She had more white hairs =(

Well, lemme introduce to you Uncle Ben, the best uncle in the world

And my cousins - Rhys Tan

Yasmin Tan

A fountain in The Royal Garden

I don't know who is that. Some governor or something.

The famous Opera House. (Didn't go in)

Harbour Bridge

I swear to myself next time I go I wanna go for the Harbour Bridge Climb!

I can't remember the ship's name >.<

Then, at a beautiful place call Darling Harbour ( beaufitul name as well)

Night,evening and morning.

Google's Blogger is driving me crazy. So can't upload everything here, well maybe more in FB. Only the main events here alright ~

We spent almost a week in Sydney, and in the first few days we were in the town all the time. Stayed in Woolbrokers Hotel, near Darling Harbour where is very near to every place. Went into Powerhouse Museum, gone up to the Sydney Tower, Paddy's Market, took a 2-hour cruise, etc etc. The kids, made this trip a noisy, fun and lively one. But.. PAI SI LAAAA!!!

I Think.. Australia Is A Very Good Country ;p

Helo~ I'm back.. Didn't want to come back though.. But that Melbourne F1 Grand Prix made the air ticket so expensive so I had to come back earlier . OK . From Kansai Airport to Gold Coast Brisbane transit to Sydney by Jetstar, was how I traveled. One word- tiring. Well, wasn't as bad as when I traveled with seishun18 kippu from Tokyo to Kobe.

Spent my first 2 days in Sydney with my old mate from high school, Mr Chuee. Sydney is EXPENSIVE. Believe me. Certain stuffs are even more expensive than Japan. Luckily I came at the right time, 円高 . Heee.

Australia students just re-started their school life 2 weeks before I reach there. Since he was having classes, felt quite paiseh for bothering him. Sorry man! And really thank you a lot =)

Ting Feng brought me to Market City- place to get cheap stuffs, or shall I say it is d market style.But most of the time that I spent with him was in University of Sydney. Yeah he is a smart arsss studying there with our government's money ^^, doing aerospace engineering.

To my surprise, I didnt't feel like I'm walking on the street of a western country. They were soooooo many Asian, especially Chinese along the street. Whenever you go I bet you can see any chinese or Indian guy around. Thanks to that..I found lotsa Asian food! Like this .. YUMMM

University of Syndey. (I only upload the nice ones)

Around the campus (Japan uni got like this?)

The new building for The Faculty of Law. USYD is famous for their law studies, according to my friend. Really??

Next, I met my family, Uncle Ben, Yasmin and Rhys plus my mum in the airport. Will blog it in the next post.
