Wow, two months come and go just like that. I can't believe it. I arrived here back in early April and have really enjoyed my time here in Australia. I leave for New Zealand tomorrow morning and I am definitely feeling a little bittersweet. It will be very nice to move on and experience something new but leaving Australia and all the new friends I've made here in Sydney is going to be difficult.

 

Overall, my impressions of Australia are quite good. I definitely think I'll be back here again at some point in the future. There is still so much I didn't see and get to experience. In fact, I missed out on several key touristy things here in Sydney alone like Manley beach, a daytime harbour cruise, touring inside the Opera House and the Aquarium. Well, I guess it gives me something good to look forward to whenever it is that I return.

 

It's late and I'm not as introspective as I thought I'd be so I'll keep this farewell short and sweet. Waiting for me is a new adventure in a really cool country. I'm keen to go to New Zealand - it should be great! By the way, if you haven't seen Whale Rider yet - you should definitely check it out!!! What an amazing movie.

 

Kia Ora!
