My three weeks in Sydney are almost up! While I've had a blast going on adventures here, it will be nice to go back home and see my friends and family. Yesterday we had a negotiation exercise in the morning. It was a six person/four-way negotiation and actually got pretty heated! (i.e. "Italy, we don't need you!"- David Mikulus, poor silent Dan) in the afternoon, after doing some assignments for the class, I went to the natural history museum with Hannah. There, we saw dinosaur fossils, creepy bugs, exotic sea life, and strange birds. It was all pretty cool, but alas, we did not find the fangeroo. In the evening Danielle, Greg, Hannah, Hongyi and I ate at the infamous Pancakes on the Rocks, which was okay but didn't exactly live up to all the hype. The evening was unfortunately spent working on our final marketing paper, which lasted from 11 pm to 3 am :(
Today is our last full day at Sydney. We climbed to the top of the Sydney Bridge, which was very cool. We had to wear special equipment, including astronaut-like suits, harnesses, hats, earpieces, and wristbands. Our guide, Dean, was very well informed and told us all sorts of stories about the history of the bridge. It was a great experience, although it took a little longer than I would have liked (we started a 12:45 and didn't get out until almost 4). After the climb we were absolutely FAMISHED so Danielle, Greg, Hannah and I went to G'day Café for $8 kebabs, which were excellent.
In the evening we all got dressed up very fancy schmancy for a dinner cruise in the harbor. The food was great; there was a cabaret singer; and the view was amazing. We got to see the Opera House and the bridge at sunset, and the weather was wonderful. Tonight will be our last big hurrah, so I think everyone is joining together to go dancing in the clubs on the Rocks. Tomorrow I leave to return back to the US and should get there around 9 PM MD time!
