The Biggest City Of Australia

27th / Dec / 2008, Saturday. The 470th Day in Oz, the weather in Sydney is sunny in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, rainy in the evening.

I worked in Townsville for 3 months. The weather of this tropical city made many backpackers go mad. Everybody said it's too hot...more than 30 degrees every day. I also thought it was time to leave this city.

Many backpackers have a common habit in Australia. It's "Avoiding the overheated and cold weather". Townsville is typically too hot from November to April of next year. Many backpackers want to go down to Sydney or Melbourne or Gold coast to celebrate new year and Christmas. I'm also the one who want to do it.

In the middle of December. I put on the ad for looking for a partner to travel and go down to Sydney together. I was lucky. An English guy enrolled my itinerary. His name is Alix. He is very young only 20. We started the travel from 20th December 2008. It's pity thing that Alix is not an English girl. I gotta go say English girls always have graceful character. They're more like the princess who usually drinks black tea or milk tea in a mansion. And I very like English accent.

20th Dec 2008, It is Saturday. We started our travel. We drove in north Queensland. From Townsville to Mackay. 400Km long way makes us experience the wild weather of Queensland. We experienced wild and heavy rain. This rain was just like the God dumped water from the sky. The car was lucky enough that it went through a natural shower. After this crazy shower, the weather became sunny again.

21st Dec 2008, It is Sunday. We spent more than 12 hours for driving. In this day, We drive almost 1000km. From Mackay to Brisbane. Our previous plan was from Mackay to Bundaberg. But we've already changed the plan and slept in his friends' house without paying. We even drove in the evening. I always worried we'll hit roos. But I think I just ran over a cane toad only. I also got an unforgetable experience in his friends' house. That was I've been bitten by bees. I almost screamed....absolutely unforgettable.

22nd Dec 2008, Monday. From Brisbane to Coffs harbour. Only 400km. We had driven for a long way while we started the travel in this day. It's why we didn't want to drive too much in this day. When I passed the border of Queensland and New South Wales. I suddenly lost one our coz the changing time zone.

23rd Dec 2008, Tuesday. From Coffs harbour to Sydney. We arrived safely in this city. Alix and me were very excited. During this period, no cheap hostel is found out. I gotta to pay 35 AUD per night. I intended to sleep in my car, but I changed my mind that I tried this feeling of sleeping in the car in Queensland. This was not funny and comfortable experience. We almost burned the engine in central Sydney. Sydney is more like multi-races city. I can always see different races in this city...except Aussie= =.

You can't find out the real Australian culture in Sydney. I deem Sydney is similar as Big Apple. This sin and notorious city has been commercialized seriously. It makes me get an uncomfortable feeling to Sydney. I can always face traffic jam here. The weather is much cooler than north Queensland. Maybe I need more time to get use to it.

26th Dec 2008, I went to the notorious district of Sydney...Kings Cross. I could usually see whores and visitors talked the price in this place. Sexy whores / strippers / hot tempetation / backpackers from Europe and Asia / businessmen......I and my partner Chinese oversea student Zen Wang was invited to get in the topless club to see something hot. In my opinion, I regreted I got in this club. The girls are not hot enough. Although she rubbed me with her boobs (This is the bonus of sitting on the first row...perhaps), I was still a little bit disppointed with it.

It's really difficult to find out a free parking lot in Sydney. It's why I don't want to drive my car frequently. I don't like this biggest sin city. Maybe I will leave this city after the New Year. If you want to experience the real Australian. Sydney is probably the worst place to do it. Although I always get something really cheap except the dorm fee. I don't like it either.
