Day 5 June 12th 2011





Top 3 new things you've done and their impact on you
My main goal/purpose for this trip was to try something new to eat every meal. So far, i have completely done my goal. I didnt think i would actually be outgoing enough to do the goal. I hate trying new things, but i did it! Some days i was almost too lazy to try soemthing new and just felt like getting a burger, but i decided maybe i should get a cool side or drink. Somedays it was as simple as L&P and cool sauce. Even today i tried some Fish and Chips. I know that doesnt sound interesting, but ive been wanting to try it my whole life now.All the time i see my dad order it but i have NEVER tried it. I actually liked it and will actually order it again if i get the chance. I also feel as if the quote "when traveling, you generally talk to people you wouldnt talk to at home". I think this quote is true in more than one way. I am more talkative and have talked to many different people on this trip. I have made alot of new freidns and i am happy about it. Another thing i am proud of is that i have been open to alot more things people suggest. I will legitimately try it or do my best to try it. I tried crocodile jerky and did not even judge it because it was crocodile. I even liked it! And im fine with all the walking through cold nights or mornings where im tired. I just trucked on and made the best of each situation. The day we ahd the iotion of taking the train or walking through the rain for miles, i went out of my normal bounds and went through the rain! I had a blast then and i havent regretted any of my choices thusfar. I love traveling because i learn new things about myself. I see myself being extremely comfortable with those around me and i try new things. I do things i would not normally do because i keep thinking to myself "this might be my last chance to ever do this". So i just go for it. So far, i have absolutley no regrets unless i think i should have tried something that i didnt. Traveling brings out the better/ more interesting side of me. Its a side that i just love to have. 

Today we went on a bus and saw alot of Syndey.  Then we went to the Opal factory and heard a presentation on the creation of opals. Then we got to shop in their store. Then we just had a tour of sydney lead by Alec. We went on a cruise of the harbour on a cruise boat. Lastly we went to the wildlife world and saw alot of Syndey animals!
