Destination: Australia

Welcome yourself to Sydney, Australia! This big tourist destination is seen to many as the face to Australia. This may be perhaps from the beautiful beaches alongside a quickly growing city facing a well envisioned harbor. It's population has boomed over the years. Sydney is currently home to about 4 million people and has doubled in size since 1963. Sydney's population is larger than Chicago (three million residents), about the size of Los Angeles, and half the size of New York (eight million people). Not only is it the country's largest city, but it is also the oldest and was officially named a city in 1842, just two years after Great Britain stopped sending convicts there. Their crime rate today, many sources say, is "similar to New York or London". With it's beautiful weather and astonishing views, it easily attracts tourists.
Take a look at all the activities Sydney offers. You spend the night at the famous Sydney Opera House built just over thirty five years ago, take in the exciting night life, visit the Koala Park Sanctuary, shop at the Queen Victoria building, and stay at a place called the Tilibury Hotel Woolloomooloo. There really is a hotel with this name (http://www.tilburyhotel.com.au/). It is insane how many activities can keep you so occupied.
It is interesting to compare major cities of our country with those of the Australians. Though we don't have a major Koala Sanctuary (as far as I know) our advertising methods (http://us.sydney.com/) and attractions are just as competitive. Travelling around the world may be a great experience, even if you find aspects of the culture are the same. Countries across the world can still find ways to relate to each other from their hotels to their population.
