Transportation

After a four hour flight from Chicago to San Francisco, I was able to grab a quick bite to eat with just enough time to board another flight to go Sydney. I wish though I would have been able to get a quick stretch in because I had another sixteen hours on flight time to go. After watching multiply PG movies and chick flicks (because that’s the ONLY movies they showed) we finally arrived. I departed Chicago’s O’Hare Ariport on Friday 6:47pm and landing in Sydney’s Airport at 8:10am. Sydney is approximately 17 hours ahead of Chicago. When I finally exited the plane, I was greeting by some HUMID weather. Although sunny and clear skies were enjoyable the humidity was pretty bad.

Macquarie University, the university I am staying at, and a shuttle service that picked me, and a couple other Americans from Marquette University (to my surprise). As we all drove down the roads, I constantly thought we were going to crash into cars and medians because in Australia everyone drives on the left side of the road. I am still adjusting lol. There is a variety of cars here in Sydney. Even more variety than in American. Two brands I was introduced to is the Holden and Petugo brands. Their both European if I am not mistaken. The most popular car I seen driven seems to be Toyota
