Friday night we went to the club called Home. Ended up staying until 3 in the morning. The next day I woke up and went to Manley beach shortly after. In total Carson, Gentry, JD, and Liz went on Saturday. After spending about 2 or 3 hours we watched a volleyball tournament which included the ladies 2000 Olympic team. After that we shopped on a strip between the beach and the wharf (spending about 2 hours looking around). After that Most of us got together and went to Festival First Night. Listening to a couple of bands play and seeing how packed the city was really gave me a perspective on how much this event means to the city. Following the bands we went out to a gay bar where some of us were flirted with. It was a different experience to say the least. Then we went to a regular bar before returning to the apartments.
Sunday I slept in. It was wonderful. After waking up around noon I went to Paddy’s market with Gentry, Liz, Kalli, Jennifer J., and Leah. I bought a few t-shirts for my family as well as a kangaroo stuffed animal for my girlfriend and a jacket for myself. After I got back I watched some soccer before going to Bondi to pick up the last of the tourist items for my family on this trip. Finally, Gentry, JD, Luke, Carson, and I went to the world’s largest IMAX to watch Tron-Legacy. This is significant to globalization because having an object that is unique and the biggest in the world attracts attention from the public and can also draw tourism because it is unique. That is one of the ways it relates to this course as well (unique objects/buildings drawing tourists towards this destination).
