So alright, I seriously suck at writing new posts about what I’m up to. High five!

Tired dude

Monday last week I went to the Sydney Wildlife Park. It sucked compared to Taronga Zoo, but it was still fun to walk around there a bit. After that I met up with Karen and we went for dinner or something (all I know is that it must have involved Darling Harbour and wine, I seriously don’t know why we always end up there with a bottle of wine in front of us).

Feeding a cockatoo

I don’t remember exactly what I did on the Tuesday, but on the Wednesday I almost got my arm bitten off (well, let’s just say that for the dramatic side of things) by an enormous cockatoo. No, but seriously, you should pay attention while you’re hand feeding these guys. I looked away for a second and he grabbed my hand with his claw and it started bleeding and stuff. Way uncool dude!

Thursday and Friday I guess I was hanging out in the city somewhere (best guess: Darling Harbour). On the Saturday I was running around in the Botanical Gardens feeding half its population with bread. Too bad I got stung by mosquitoes or ants or whatever the hell it was, those buggers completely owned my leg. Aaargh!

The new parliament in Canberra

On the Sunday I went to Australia’s capital Canberra. The Parliament was cool and all, but the city in itself just felt lame compared to Sydney. The shopping center downtown was a bit cool though, but it still isn’t Sydney. Man, I love Sydney.

And yeah, check out the new photos:

Sydney!

Sydney
Royal Botanic Gardens

Yesterday I spent the entire day in Sydney walking around and exploring various bits and pieces of the city. All I can say is that I’m completely blown away – Sydney is by far the most amazing thing I’ve seen so far in my life!

There are huge skyscrapers everywhere in the Central Business District and just a few minutes away in Circular Quay there’s the famous Opera House as well as the Royal Botanic Gardens which, hands down, are extremely awesome.

During my little walkabout in Sydney I took about 200-300 pictures, so be sure to check out the updated photo album!
