Sydney

Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. It is the largest city in Australia and serves as one of the financial and economic centers in Asia. KEI’s favorite places to explore in Sydney include…

  • The Rocks, a historic district characterized by narrow cobblestone streets and pubs dating back to the first European settlers.
  • The Sydney Harbour, one of the largest in the world.
  • The famous Sydney Opera House
  • The Sydney Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the city, offering a bird’s eye view of town.
  • Museums, such as the Australian Museum and Museum of Contemporary Art.

I had an overall great time in Australia. I had some issues at first, but they were sorted by the program in time. Housing ended up being amazing and the Onsite Director was the best.
