I do like Sydney, it really is a very nice city. In fact I'd say its biggest fault is that it knows its so good and goes around flaunting it. In that kind of way that makes you want to dislike it. So much so that I enjoy telling people that Sydney's annual rainfall is approximately twice that of London, with 37 more rainy days per year.
I spent last weekend in Sydney, visiting with a few friends who had never been there before (international students eh, what are they like!). Despite doing and seeing things that I'd mostly done before I still had a good time. And Sydney was having a light festival called "Vivid" where there are all sorts of lit-up landmarks and art installations around the city, making it a fun place to explore after dark. Here are some photos:
Sydney harbour, pretty as ever.
Some jellyfish around circular quay
No idea, but fun
Of course, all public art is really just an excuse for a playground.
This staircase was fun. It lit up only the steps that people were standing on.
Art, not without its pretentiousness, these things have something to do with self and consciousness and stuff.
The Opera House gets in on the act with some great light shows.
The Rocks
More stuff on the Rocks, it certainly made the between pubs part of our evening's drinking more entertaining.
