Sydney, Australia 03/30/2010

When i woke up the the weather was terrible. It reminded me of when i lived in London, cloudy, rainy, windy. After breakfast i took the bus into town. I was supposed to watch Wicked in the Theatre however our bus driver got into an accident on the way. An old lady cut into our lane and clipped the side of the bus. We were here for 20-30 minutes. When i got off at town hall, i got lost, i couldn't find the Capitol Theatre. By the time i found it, i was 23 minutes late and missed the show. I then walked up and down Chinatown. Popped in and out of the shops. I had lunch at a thai restaurant on Campbell Street. I then walked towards Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. A part from the weather, it was an enjoyable walk around the harbour. I went into the shopping markets at the Quay - it was like a mini mall. After i visited the War Museum, i learnt how they used to fish sharks and other sea creatures. The difference in technology from present to 50-100 years ago. Around 4pm I met up with Kerri and Andrew and went to the Sydney Aquarium. Andrew has a passion for fishes so it was awesome going around with him. He named all the different types of fishes for me and explained the cool features in each one. We got to see a 10ft croc, numerous sharks, Nemo and other fishes from the movie. After seeing everything, we sat through a private 90 min video about the destruction of the fish race. The video was a fundraiser for protecting our fishes. We learnt that the blue fish tuna, salmon, cod and many other fish are becoming distinguished! Fisherman all around the world are catching 3x's more fish than they are allowed to. This is due to the high number of humans with a high-seafood diet.After the video, we went to a Malaysian Restaurant. I ordered egg and onion roti. This was their specialty.
