描述一个城市
Sydney, train or plane, walk in street, online, in person
The big city I’d like to visit is Sydney. I think I’d travel there by plane or train, since they’re really convenient ways to get around Australia these days. Instead of visiting those famous tourist attractions, I’d prefer to just walk along the streets and feel the city’s vibe.
I think most people just rush to these spots, take a few photos, post them on social media, and say they’ve been to a new city. It’s kind of like showing off, and it’s not a good way to truly understand a city’s lifestyle and local culture. But walking on the streets can really help me get a better sense of what Sydney is like.
I currently live in Melbourne, and Sydney is another well-known city in Australia. I’ve seen plenty of content about it online and on social media, and those things have really sparked my curiosity about what life is like there. So if I get the chance, I’d really love to visit Sydney in person.
