Sydney is the wild child of world-class cities. Oh yes. It blends the deliciousness of Hong Kong with the nightlife of New York, the posh nature of Paris with the glitz of LA, and (what am I talking about?) they have kangaroos! That’s right blokes and sheilas, we’ve gone Down Under!

Feeding Kangaroos at the Sydney Zoo

One of my favorite parts of this quick jaunt was my stay at the Wake Up! Hostel. Seriously, check it out. When I was there, we had a raging party David Hasselhoff themed. And while I love the scenery of “Baywatch” (Pamela), I was very stunned by the skyline of Sydney (complete with the roaring Opera House and Harbor Bridge). Last time I was here, I was actually able to climb that thing. None of those acrobatics on this jaunt, though!

So I met with two friends over here from my previous adventures – Kaylie and Megan! Kaylie took me out for an American food as popular as baseball, beef burgers, and ‘baby on board’ bumper stickers – Mexican!

Thank god for that. I was running low on the burrito-meter.

And Megan took me to the subject of this short – the zoo! I was able to chill with some cheeky critters, see some old pals, and head for good times (all around). Oh, I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while.

While I’ve been out and about, I’ve been using this great little thing called the ISIC card.

Here’s a tab of what I’ve saved (in Sydney alone):

• Money Transfers: $15.50USD
• Zoo Ticket: $4USD
• Train Tickets: $2USD
• Breakfast: $3USD

Just imagine, that’s only from my Sydney expenses. When I get a chance to do my final expenses, I’ll let you know how much I saved by using the internationally-recognized student ISIC card. That means more money for gas, books, and trips to Wal-Mart. Oh yes. Don’t forget those. Later kids!
