Brent and I arrived in Sydney safe and sound yesterday. A lot of people on our travels have told us that Sydney is "just another big city." Well, I have to disagree.
Today we went on a self-guided walking tour. We saw Parlaiment, the ANZAC memorial, the Botanic Gardens, and, of course, the Opera House and the Sydney Harbor bridge. The latter two are a site to see. We went inside the box office to see what was playing there. To our surprise, it was way more than just opera. We decided we'd try to go see a show. After finding out the comedian (Josh Thomas?!) was totally sold out, we asked about the play "Our Town." Come to find out, if you're under 30, the play is only $30 (as opposed to $90)... it was a no brainer. Funny thing is, "Own Town" is about a fictional town in New Hampshire. Yes, we come to Sydney to watch a play about NH starring actors whose accent is... eh... actually, some did a spectacular job, but some definitely still sounded Australian.
Besides the play, our favorite part(s) of the day was the food! Delicious food. We ate the Tiger Pie from the Harry's Cafe de Wheels, lamb skewers and pork suimai from the asian markets, Thai chili chicken curry from a food court, and these marshmellow chocolate things Brent really wanted. Yum.
