Last Day in Aussie

Happy Thanksgiving! (It is Thursday here in Australia). We are currently in the Sydney airport waiting for our overnight flight to Seoul. Today we spent the day looking around different areas of Sydney with a quick stop at Bondi beach. Sydney is a beautiful city with a lot to do.

We have loved Australia and feel like it is the 51st state. It is pretty much like America. For those of you who want to travel to a foreign country, but are afraid to...this country is for you. They speak the same language (well, mostly...there were a few Aussie phrases that we had to get someone to explain to us), they use a dollar, they dress like us, they listen to mostly American music, watch a lot of American TV and have a lot of the same stores...we even found a Target in most places. So, if you are wanting to do foreign travel but have concerns, come to Australia. Also, the people here were SO nice everywhere we went.

We have enjoyed our time here and are looking forward to the next couple of days in Seoul which will be a real culture shock for me as I have never traveled to Asia!
