Teapots and IMAX Theatre Experience!

Last night, me and a couple friends decided to go out in Sydney to the bars since I have not been to any yet and wanted the experience. I only have class Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so going out on a Tuesday night may be a weekly tradition for me. We ended up going to downtown Sydney to a bar called, The World Bar and Club. It is the coolest and most awesome bar I have ever been to in my life (which has not been long since I have only been 21 for 3 months). The big thing to order at this bar is a drink that is literally made in a teapot and you drink it out of the teapot (the drink is cold, not hot). Since I still cannot drink yet because of my liver and mono, I did not order one but tried a sip of one of my friends (don't worry mom, I am still alive). All around the bar are teapots that are hung up. What the bartender does is takes down one of the teapots and makes a drink that tastes like fruit punch. You are not supposed to drink straight from the spout of teapot, but a lot of people do. The bar also had karaoke and a huge dance floor. It was such an amazing experience and a bar I definitely will keep going back to.

Today, since I do not have any class, a friend and I went to Darling Harbor and went to the IMAX Theatre. This theatre is the biggest IMAX Theatre in the world. When we bought our tickets, the person working pulled out this huge map to show us where we were sitting. Yes, it is actually that big that you need a map to navigate around the theatre. When we walked into the theatre, I was taken away by how big the screen actually is. Standing at the bottom of the screen and looking up actually hurt my neck to do because it was gigantic. We ended up seeing Titanic 3D, but it was not the actual titanic movie. The movie was shot 10 years ago and was about a group of scientists who went down to the very bottom of the ocean where the actual Titanic sunk and filmed what the ship looks like 90 years later. They would show the film of what it looked like now, and then show a model of what it looked like back then. I really enjoyed the movie and the experience of being in the biggest IMAX Theatre in the world. There is another IMAX movie coming out about outer space that I want to go back and see one day.

Australia is definitely living up to my expectations and beyond. I told the taxi driver last night that if he wants I will send him back to America and I will take his spot being in Australia.

Keep checking back :)
