Good morning/afternoon/night! For me, I am writing bright and early on the morning of New Years Eve. Australia is still proving to be one of the most unique cities. Yesterday, we went to Olympic Park. I had mixed feelings. On one hand, it was incredible. Great stadiums and architecture. The public areas and stadiums/centers all had modern, interesting architecture that you would find yourself staring at, trying to figure out how they came up with such a complex design. On the other hand, it has a feeling of a sort of ghost town. In this massive athletics park, full of hotels and restaurants that is clearly meant for huge masses of people, you will find only a few cars lining the roads and the public spaces filled with only a few wandering tourists. We did, however, find that the aquatic center was open to the public and full of families swimming. It is a fascinating problem to have: what does a city do with empty (huge) ex-Olympic facilities that are a ways out of the city? Here are a few looks:
