          Today in Sydney we tarted off by going to Hyde park and saw the large trees and a fountain.  The fountain had many sculptures in and on it.  After that we ate lunch at a large food court.  WE then crossed the street and went up the Sydney tower.  It was a large tower that looked very similar to the space needle in Seattle.  It had a very sweet 360 degree angle of Sydney.  It also had the highest working mailbox in the Southern Hemisphere.  After the tower we walked down the Rocks and had an amazing view of the bridge and the Opera house.  We then walked to a market that was only there on weekends and contained lots of stuff for girls like art and jewelery.  After that it started to rain and I walked back to the hotel.  We went to a place called Istanbul for dinner and it was pretty good.  Sydney is familiar to Chicago in that they both have large parks that people go to for recreation.  Both places have destinations that are for tourists and civilians.  Each city has places that hold different cultures.  Also each have a large park that holds various events.  Each city is big and awesome as well.
