My boss recently told me he has been to Sidney on a business trip a long time ago and that the city was amazing. I realized I had never even watched any videos about the city so I had no idea what to imagine, except for the opera house. It’s cool that the first video I have now watched is from you! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It’s funny you mentioned feeling a little uncomfortable vlogging in the city as I can 100% relate. Also interesting to think the population of the city is the same as the whole of Finland.. not that I haven’t been to big cities before in Asia but it’s always fun to think about.
Thanks Erno! Was a great experience to step out of my comfort zone, vlogging in such a public setting. I found myself becoming much more comfortable with it over the coming days. Even as a "domestic tourist" it was fun to finally visit the city which I previously also only thought of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Wouldn't want to live in Sydney on account of the insanely high cost of living, but can highly recommend the place for a visit. Will definitely return in the future. Almost 20% of Australia's population lives in Sydney alone with Melbourne not so far behind. In fact Australia is much more urbanised and centralised in terms of population spread than most people realise. 90% of the population lives on just 0.22% of the land area with over two thirds of Australians living in just the 8 state capitals alone. Fascinating to think about.
Thank you for a brilliant travelog video! I think the image of Sydney for most non-Australians is the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and nothing else. You have fleshed it out to show a very sophisticated downtown core, equal to the best American cities. I especially like the historic architecture of the Central Station clock tower. I look forward to subsequent installments from Sydney.
Thanks Mike! I think many Australians who haven't been to Sydney have similar preconceptions. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there from the city, to the harbour, nature and surroundings. While I wouldn't want to live in Sydney on account of the crazy high cost of living, it's definitely worth a visit and I plan to return in the future. Would also like to visit Melbourne in the near future where I also haven't been and do a fair balanced comparison between the two cities that are vying for dominance. The Sydney/Melbourne rivalry is perhaps modern Australia's greatest. Btw we typically refer to the downtown area as the CBD (Central Business District)
Thanks for the feedback! My intention with showing the plaques quickly is for the viewer to be able to pause the video and read if interested, while still keeping the general flow of the video going. Many times I have read the plaques while I am sorting the clips and watching back the video rather than when I'm actually there.

@@Yotopian "CBD" is a heavily used term in New Orleans, but not so much in other American cities.
Australia is such unique and beautiful country. Thanks for the great footage of our Great Southern Land
Very unique, no other place like it. Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome, great story so far, the suspense is unbearable, can't wait to see the next episode
Glad you're enjoying it, more to come!
When filming plaques read aloud, it bit too kwik to see what they say. I like the spontaneouty tho.....
