Australia/ New Zealand: Day 10

My Top 10 List:

1. Traveling with new people and making new friends.
Throughout my travels on this trip, I made great friendships with new people that I never really knew.  I had a lot of fun going out and being with new people that I wasnt friends with before. Without them, this trip wouldnt have been nearly as fun!

2. The Great Barriere Reef.
The GBR is one spectacular sight to see. Its just surrounded by beautiful scenery,  and wildlife to match. Its so cool to be swimming in the GBR because you see how much more there is to the world than just the outside surface. You're swimming in the homes of thousand of species of life, and there are marine life all around you. Its a great experience to have.

3. Sydney.
The city of Sydney is simply beautiful. Its so nice and full of fresh air. The views from the top of the tower are undescribeable. This was definitely one of my highlights.

4. Cairns.
Cairns is a lovely small town, thats booming with excitement! Theres so much to do there, like go to the pool, the beach, go out shopping, or go to find something to eat! Endless possibilities! Cairns is just so beautiful and i cant wait till I return!

5. Aboriginal Culture.
While visiting Australia, everywhere has traces of their culture. The people do the best they can to keep their culture alive. They perform songs and dances, and show off their Aborginal legends! Its definitely a cool thing to experience.

6. Food.
Oh gosh. The food on the trip was amazing! Every place i went to, I would try something that Ive never had before. Like, Kangaroo, Crocidile, and Emu. All so delictible. They definitely have exotic foods down under.

7. Ogo.
Ogoing was soo much fun! I enjoyed trying new activities, seeing as how we really dont have things like this at home. So it was fun to try something different.

8. Agradome.
The huge Agradome was incredible to see. Its just amazing to see how people make a life like this, and do that almost everyday. Its incredible. A farmers life is not too easy.

9. Sports.
There are so many different kinds of sports down under. Like, theyre way different than what we have here. Things like rugby, netball, Australian rules football, cricket, we dont have in the US. Sports are taken very seriously in Australia and NZ. Its practially a religion.

10. Branching out.
This trip has definitely given myself a chance to broaden my horizen of the world, and to see it in a new light. I went out, and I tried new foods, I met new people, and I grew new friendships with people. Making new friends in different countries was a lot of fun. I will never forget them.
