Australia marks my first time to step into a Western country in 3 years since I left Vancouver in 2001! So far, I find Australia too Westernized, too touristy, and too expensive (the 3 Big Too's). However, this is only an initial impression which I hope will change for the positive in the future. The Aussies are some of the most friendly, extroverted, and hospitable people that I've met in my life which is always a bonus! I will be heading from Darwin to Cairns and then down the East Coast to do a Working Holiday in Sydney.
