I live at 14,000 kilometres away from all of you! (Metric system rules!!!) I live in Australia, Sydney to be exact. In case you are wondering, no, kangaroos do not hop their way down the city streets. And no, we do not always greet each other with the words "G'day, mate!" Sorry, had to get those sterotypes out of the way.
Sydney is a very metropolitan city, not as big as the largest US cities like Los Angeles or New York, but it's still considered one of the major cities in the world. The east side is the CBD, very modern and people of all nationalities hang out there. I live in the western side of Sydney, your typical quiet suburbia. This side of Sydney is not very busy and not densely populated, so at night, it becomes an ideal venue for street racing, which is one my passions :)
Bear in mind, since Australia is in the southern hemisphere, our seasons are reversed. Right now, we are in Spring, so you Americans are probably in Autumn (Our name for Fall). Yes, that means our Christmas is held in summer. It never snows here, and at summer the temperature can hit the high 30s-low 40s in degrees Celsius (Don't know what that is in degrees Farenheit). Apart from that, Sydney is really not that different to other major cities...
