My first sight of Down Under

Back from Australia for several weeks, I still have few time to recall the whole trip there.
Now the memory becomes faint and broken into segment. I know now the place called " down under " is really far from me now.
The real Sydney came to my mind is when I got off the train, the first time I saw the Opera House. I knew I was finally in Australia at that very moment. The pretty surburb buildings, the bridge under the sunset, the big trees in botanic gardens......all are so different from my imaginations before I went there. It's not just a hustle and bustle city like Shanghai. People could enjoy more green land and fresh air there.
The center of Brisbane is a smaller city than my expectation. But it's really peaceful especially in their living area. The wonderful part is not the city itself but the interesting places around there. I had Koala in my arm, fed the wild dolphin in the dark sea, touched the real kangaroo on its back...... It's a place so close to nature.
One interesting thing is when I visited the art museum in Brisbane, I found the exibition there was About Asia. And when the guard of that museum knew I came from Shanghai, he said " you have a good museum. " He is right and I am proud of that. It's just like the sentence I read somewhere " you feel more aware of where you came from when you are in somewhere else. "
After that trip, I am more confident to have an oversea trip and I know it's nice to be closer to nature itself. I look forward to be back there, not to the city, but to the nice place under blue sky.
Thank you, Down under...
