When I was a 11 years old, I saw a picture in a magazine. I searched the Internet and found that it was a forest of Australia. The place was fantastic even in the pictures. And 10 years later, I still remember it as a fantastic place. I asked my mom to take me on a trip to Australia because of that photo.
 My mom found a good package tour and decided to go there during winter vacation. It was my first trip abroad, so I was very excited from one to ten. I was excited about making a passport and packing my bag. When I first packed my bag, I searched the internet for travel necessities and I even searched for ways to get on the plane. I wish my dad and my sister would go together, but only my mom went there with me. Because my dad had acrophobia, and my sister had to study to get into college. I wanted to see my sister and dad before I got on the plane but after that, I forgot the fact that my dad and sister couldn't go so I was excited. I can't forget the smell when I arrived in Australia. There was a foreign smell. It was a different smell from our country. It was an unfamiliar smell. Because of that, It was so exciting to be in a new environment. I can't remember the weather there, but I guess it was warm and cool. My mom who hate cold weather said that she is so happy to come to Australia from cold Korea. I felt good because my mom was happy. We arrived in Canberra, Australia on the first day. And we went to the Canberra National Museum by bus. The Canberra National Museum has one of the 1001 buildings to see before death. Because there are many buildings that are displayed around history, there are many historical stories. So it was a little boring and boring for me. But the next day there was not boring and full of interesting things. The next day it took 3 hours and 30 minutes to get to Sydney by bus. Australia has a large land mass, so I felt I had to go for an hour even if I moved a little. Anyway, we arrived at Blue Mountain in Sydney. Blue Mountain was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That fact made me feel so good, and the scenery in the magazine seemed to be here. The guide said that native people still exist here in Blue Mountain. The natives were singing with jembe at the observatory here. I loved the feeling that nature was alive and breathing. It was just nature itself. The evidence was that the indigenous people were living here. Just standing there made me feel better and I just wanted to lie down. And we also went to Federdale Wildlife Park where the wild breathes. I saw a koala there for the first time and touched him there. It was so cute that the koala was hanging from the tree. It was something to show off to friends at school. On the third day, we went to Bondi Beach, a beach that is popular with the citizens of Sydney. It was a sea with very blue water that I had never seen in my country. I wanted to drown but I couldn't because I didn't have enough time. So I felt a little sad that I came on a trip to package tour. Regret aside, We went to an old fishing village in Sydney called Watsons Bay. It didn't smell fishy like our fishing village, but it smelled good sea. Also, it felt peaceful because it was not full of merchants like the sea of our country. I thought it would be great if the tired of everyday life went there and rested. And we took on the bus and went to watch opera house. We couldn't get inside, but I was excited to see the opera house with my own eyes. After looking at the view of the Opera House, we went to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Maybe because I went to see it at night, the lights were so pretty and the fountain under the bridge was fantastic. There was a we eat a hot dog store where it's famous and delicousor tasty food are sold so I can't forget the taste of a hot dog with perfect night view,
 I felt sad for my trip to Australia for the whole trip because it's a package tour so I didn't have a enough free time. Even at this moment when I recall, I feel sad. Now, I want to improve my English skills and save money by working hard for a part time job and go on a free trip to Australia with my mom. If I go to the Australia in the future, I would like to find more information about Australia on the Internet and have a more enjoyable trip with my mom and make a trip that will never be forgotten. And I want to taste the hot dog with my mom again.

 When I was a 11 years old, I saw a picture in a magazine. Wanting to know more, I searched the Internet and found that it was a forest of in Australia. The pictures made this forest seem even more fantastic. And 10 years later, I could still remember the amazing images and they led me to I asked my mom to take me on a trip to Australia because of that photo.
 My mom found a good package tour and decided we would go there during winter vacation. It was my first trip abroad, so I was very excited from one to ten. I was excited about getting a passport and packing my bag. When I first packed my bag, I had to searched the internet for travel necessities, and I even searched show to board the plane. I wished my dad and my sister could go with us, but only my mom went there with me. Because my dad has acrophobia, the fear of heights, and my sister had to study to get into college. I wanted to see my sister and dad before I got on the plane but after that, I forgot the fact that my dad and sister couldn't go so I was excited.
 I can't forget the smell when I arrived in Australia. There was a foreign smell. It was a different smell from our country. It was an unfamiliar smell. Because of that, It was so exciting to be in a new environment. I can't remember the weather there, but I suppose it was warm and cool. My mom, who hates cold weather, said that she was so happy to come to Australia from the cold in Korea. It made me feel good that my mom was happy.
 We arrived in Canberra, Australia on the first day and we went to the Canberra National Museum of Australia by bus. The Canberra National Museum has been named one of the 1001 buildings to see before you die. Because there are many buildings that are either historical or focused around history, there are many historical stories to hear and read, which was a little boring and boring for me. 
 The next day there was not boring at all and was full of interesting things. The next day we took a bus to get to Sydney by bus. Australia is much larger than most people realize and it felt I had to travel for an hour just to move a little. After three and a half hours, we arrived at the Blue Mountains near Sydney. Blue Mountains National Park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and knowing that fact made me feel so good. The scenery from the magazine seemed to be here and our guide said that native people still live here in Blue Mountain. The natives were singing and playing jembe, a kind of drum, at the observatory here. I loved the feeling that nature was alive and breathing. It was just nature itself. The evidence was that the indigenous people were living here. Just being there made me feel better and all I just wanted was to lie down and stay. Also, we were on a tour and so we had to continue. Next, we went to Fatherdale Wildlife Park where the wild lives. I saw a koala there for the first time and was able to touch on. It was so cute that the koala was hanging from the tree. It’s something I still show off to my friends at school.
 On the third day, we went to Bondi Beach, a beach that is popular with the citizens of Sydney. It was a sea with very bluer water than I had never seen back home. I wanted to drown but I couldn't because I didn't have enough time . So I felt a little sad that we came on this trip on a package tour. Regret aside, we went to an old fishing village in Sydney called Watson’s Bay. It didn't smell fishy like our fishing villages, but it smelled of the fresh sea. Also, it felt peaceful because it was not full of merchants like along the seaside of Korea. I thought it would be great if everyone tired of everyday life could go there and rested. We boarded back on the bus and went to see Sydney Opera House. We couldn't get inside, but I was excited to see the opera house with my own eyes. After looking at the view of the opera house, we went to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Because we went to see it at night, the lights were on and were so pretty. The fountain under the bridge was also fantastic. There was a we eat a hot dog stand where it's famous and deliciously tasty food is sold. I’ll never forget the taste of a hot dog with a perfect night view.
 I felt sad about my trip to Australia for the whole time because it'was a package tour and we didn't have a enough free time. Even at this moment when I recall, I feel sad. Now, I want to improve my English skills and save money by working hard for a part time job to go on a self-guided trip to Australia with my mom. If I go to the Australia in the future, I would like to find more information about Australia on the Internet and have a more enjoyable trip with my mom and make a trip that will never be forgotten. Also, I want to taste that hot dog with my mom again.
