Aussie

Hi, there. Sorry for "hiding" for almost two months. Life is so busy that I barely find time to sit down and think about what to write, so I kinda abandon livejournal these days. However, I will be work in night shift during May to June. I hope I will have a more regular resting.
Last week, I visited Sydney Australia for an one-week vacation. I am used to join the travelling tour with my parents but I really want to have some new experience since I am financial independent now. I decided to backpack and travel alone for 6 days. But, Gosh! I was so busy that I didn't do any preparation for the trip. I bought the flight ticket just 5 days before the trip. Basically no plan, no insurance, a limited budget and a freestyle.
A girl, who is an oversea student from Beijing China, I met in X-Men: First Class fandom was so nice that she let me slept on her coach for free, lent me free wifi and stuff, and also guided me around Sydney. My holiday would not be that enjoyable without her kindness. I wish I could post her pics but I don't think she would like it. Whatever. These are the pics she took for me:
This is the pleasant view from her balcony, and her obsession with nailpolishes.

Oxford Street
Mostly famous for gay bars and pubs. I think the gay pub I got in was called "Stonewall" (?). Nice.
Sydney Habour Bridge
It took me 10 minutes and no fee to walk along the bridge from one end to another, but it would cost at least USD$200 to "climb" the bridge. By "climbimg", according to the official website, means walking up and down on the stairs in a group of 12 following a guide, not in the Spider-man style.
Sydney Opera House
Darling Habour. Night and Day.
Sydney Tower (Centrepoint) and the view on it
Queen Victoria Building
An historical building now turns into a major shopping mall in the city.
No, I am not a rail geek but somehow I managed to ride and took a snap of most of the rails in Sydney.
These are the train, both old and new, the tram, and the monorail which will be closed on 30th June this year.
These pics are unorganized and not necessarily in order.
They are St. Mary Cathedral and Hyde Park, bothe are popular places for wedding; Museum of Comtemporary Art, The Rocks, Fish Market, The Domain Park, an architecture next to St. Mary Cathedral but I forget the name, and me on the Virgin Alantic flight
Art Gallery of New South Wales
