 The Royal Botanic Gardens, located in Sydney, are one of the oldest scientific institutions in Australia. They are known because of the exotic plants they have. If you want a ten-year bench in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney, you will have to donate $12,500 more less.  If you become member, you will receive The Gardens magazine 4 times a year. This magazine you can read it online uploading it or you can print it. My favourite exotic plant is the Wollemi Pine, because it seemed like it was extinted but in 1994, a group of explorers found it in Australia. Also I think that it is very pretty and it reminds me to the christmas tree.

 The Rocks is one of the most famous neighbourhoods in Sydney. It is called like that because its cobblestone streets, heritage buildings and markets, with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Rocks Markets only opens at the weekends, from 10 am to 5 pm. If you want to visit these markets or The Rocks neighbourhood, the best option is to take a train to the Circular Quay Station. You will spend a wonderful short walk through the Sydney Harbour Bridge to The Rocks. However, you can also go by bus, through the CBD along Elizabeth Street, because you will go to Bridge Street, that is near The Rocks. Personally, I am interested on the artesanal food, because I love eat and I prefer food that it has been made by professionals in one moment, those that are artesanal. However, many people buy jewels or artworks, that are very famous in these markets.

 Darling Harbour is one of the most turistic places in Sydney. Many people describes it as a perfect place to visit at day or at night. The most famous attractions are the Madame Tussauds museum, the Wild Life Sydney zoo or the Australian National Maritime museum.  However, in my opinion, the most exciting thing to do is visit the Sea Life Sydney aquarium. This is because I love animals, specifically those strange that live in the water. I like a lot all types of sharks, although they are very scary and I would not like to find one while I am in the beach. Here, in this aquarium, you can do uncountable incredible activities, such as meet penguins, an animal that personally I like a lot.

 This picture is quite interesting. It seems to be people, who look old, that are playing chess, but not normal chess, they are playing with a very big board and giant chess pieces. I suppose that this two people know each other for a long time, and they usually play there a lot, because it is very common on old people to go to the park, something that my grandfather did a lot.   Personally, I remember my childhood with a lot of dear, mostly because of the thousands of times I went to the park with my family. In the park, I remember that I played with my sisters hide and seek or being on the slide while we were laughing. Also, I remember to see the ducks that were on the pond which was next to my house.  When I lived in Granada, next to my house, was an amazing and beautiful park, which we went almost all the days. Now, here in Bilbao, the nearest park is the 'Parque Doña Casilda', which is very similar to the one I had next to my house in Granada. When I meet with m...

 Today we have listened a conversation between a journalist and Rebecca, an Australian who lives in Sydney. After that, we watched a short video of Australia. I have learnt a lot of facts that I didn't know before watching the video. My result on the listening was 10/12 in the conversation and 8/9 in the video. It is a good mark, 18/21, however, I red wrong a question on the second listening, wich quits me one point in the final mark. This is something that can't happen and I am a little bit angry.

 Taronga Zoo, is a very famous zoo located in Sydney. It is one of the oldest in the world, inaugurated in 1916. The zoo allows over more than 4,000 animals, which 340 are from different species. Most of the researchs that you can find on the internet are really good, standing out how clean is the zoo and how good is the animal treat. If a group of eight teenagers want to spend the day there and they buy tickets online, they only have to pay  $27.90 each one, while if you do not buy tickets online, you have to pay a 20% more of the price. In Taronga Zoo, you can literally spend all the day there; you have the possibility to spend the night there with amazing sights. You have only to pay more and book it with time. Many people define this as an unique experience. They offer you two types of acommodation. Wildlife, with an elegant Australian eco-retreat, and Roar and Snore, which gives you the possibility to sleep in tents hearing the animals and some stories about them. In my o...
