Day 16
My last day in Australia. Such a sad day. Of all the places I have traveled, when it comes to big city feel with a lively night life, nice people and tons to do, Sydney is definitely at the top of my favorite list. It's sad to be leaving it as I have felt welcome everywhere I have been and it's hard to imagine I have to leave.
I woke up this morning and turned on the TV as I have every morning to check the weather and guess what? It's sunny and 76* in Melbourne today....and by the end of the week it'll be the same in Sydney. Seriously?!?! And what about Sydney right this very moment? I opened up the blinds and guess what? Rain. Awesome. I headed to Wynard station, picked up my last order of their delicious sushi, ended up at Circular Quay where I ate it while people watching and trying to enjoy the harbor. My flight isn't until late tonight so I decided to head to the casino to spend my last hours in Sydney. Time well spent huh? Don't judge me. Spent a little time at the roulette table and ended up winning $100. Not bad.
Overall I had a great time in Australia. Sydney's mass transit was amazing and cheap, Aussies are environmentally conscious, particularly when it came to toilets (there are two buttons, one for lots of water to push...well you know, down the pipe and one for less water), and I noticed that all students wear uniforms. Sadly, the worse part of my trip was hearing the weather man this morning say that Sydney just recorded its coldest start to summer in 45 years....that WOULD happen to me wouldn't it?
The flight back to Kuwait was a little rough. I was unfortunate in my seating assignment, which is always the case on a long flight isn't it? I was literally surrounded by kids under the age of 6. It felt like I was at a daycare. Sleep was tough to get with all the crying and kids running up and down the aisle. When I arrived back in Kuwait, I couldn't help but compare it to Australia.The differences were drastic. The entire drive back to Arifjan all I could do was think about how clean Sydney was and then I'd wake up from my daydream and see all the trash strewn about along the side of the road.
Welcome back.
