October 21st, 2009 Hero No comments

I think Australia is a place that completely different from China, not only the culture, the people and the custom, but also the climate. However it is also a little familiar to me because I have a good friend studying there and live in Sydney for several years. I had a long holiday just three weeks ago, so I decided to travel there and visit my friend. Australia is far away from China, so I had to take an international flights to get there. I search the internet, and finally fond some cheap flights. Soon, I booked a tick of Jetstar flights and began my way to Australia.

It’s cold in Australia now, it took some time for me to acclimate the climate. After I found my friend, we took me travel around Sydney and I enjoy my tour. It’s a long time that we didn’t meet each other except through the internet, so we chat for a long time each night when I was there.

Thanks to the cheap flights, it’s wonderful to meet my good friend again. I think it worth for me to get there for more time in the future, and I’m sure I’ll be there soon in the future.

As many people know, New York is a world famous financial center and the most modern city; what’s more, there are many famous ball team such as New York Giants baseball team and New York Nicks basketball team etc. they are all well known in the world. In my mind, New York is a city full of business opportunity and energy.

Last week, I finally got a chance to visit there. When I got there, I found the city is far more than what I have known; it is also a good place to travel around. The Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and the United Nations are worthy to see around. The first day I have been to the Statue of Liberty, it’s much bigger than I’d imagine and it attracts many visitors from all over the world. I won’t forget my time over there. There is another place I should mention, it’s the Wall Street. It’s the global financial center; you can smell a thick commercial there. People are passing quickly, companies are everywhere and the world’s biggest banking building is also there. I love the New York Tours. New York City is a fantastic city, I think it worth any to travel there.
