Sydney

December 11, 2012

We are here. Australia. And it is amazing. I don’t even think I can put into words how beautiful it is, how fun the city is or how friendly the people are…

But I will try.

The roads are narrow. The trees are beautiful. The accents are cute. I feel safe.

The water tastes good. The coffee is amazing. The food is expensive.

The culture is so unique. It definitely has a British influence but is infused with Asian culture at the same time. But then again, it’s uniquely Australian.

It feels almost like a tropical Britain.

And Micah has totally mastered driving on the left side of the road.

We love it here.

    It's so crazy to see your faces in Sydney! ha ha… I've heard people say that our food is expensive, but of course we just get used to it… as you go to different places and move from Sydney you will probably feel less of the Asian culture…enjoy your stay here 🙂

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
