Sydney

I'd forgotten what a big city Sydney is. Part of it's just contrast- there are more people in this one metropolitan area then in all of New Zealand. Also it's just so diverse. Less then half the conversations on the street are in English, and much of the signage is in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other languages I don't even recognize.

It's strangely like London, if London was transplanted into East Asia. Where else in the world would you find a tiny corner store that sells "Sushi, Gelatto, and Espresso?" Or a "Korean BBQ and Donut shop"? It's delightful. And let me tell you, the sushi here is absolutely first rate!
