Big Cities.

When we first started touring Sydney I wasn't really impressed by it, it isn't even as big as Chicago and I thought Chicago was more impressive than Sydney. Then I started looking at the buildings and the detail put into them and I realized that Sydney is more beautiful. The war memorial was really cool but I was upset we didn't get to look at the inside. Both cities have beautiful parks and wildlife but the sidewalks seem much smaller here, probably because of our huge group size, and that we're used to walking on the right side. The harbour is just like Navy Pier, from what we've seen. I don't know if we have anything like The Rocks in Chicago but that was very unique and they had a lot of things that are special to Australia.
I haven't been to many big cities but Sydney is very similar to Miami because of the ocean and amount of tourism. Both Sydney and Miami, have shorter buildings which is nice because it lets the sun in. Miami has a lot of indoor/outdoor malls, just like Miami.  Like most big cities, the amount of rain didn't affect the amount of people walking around, because people still need to go to work. Chicago and Sydney each have a couple of "icons" that they are identified by, Sydney has the Opera House and the bridge, and Chicago has the Sears Tower and the Bean. I feel like Chicago has more, and bigger, educational things than Sydney. We have bigger museums and more specific museums.
