Why I Love Sydney, Australia

I moved to Australia with my family about 7 years ago. I was born raised in Venezuela til I was 10 years old. The situation in my home country is very bad at the moment. There is no security, a lot of violence, shortages of food, water, electricity, and more. In addition, Caracas (the capital city) is ranked number 1 as The Most Violent City in the World, with a murder rate of almost 120 per 100,000 population, and my home town rated at 72 per 100,000 (rank 7). I'm grateful to live in a secure, developed, and welcoming country like Australia. Here are reasons why I love Sydney, Australia:

1. Culture - Australia has it all. From countries all over Europe, Asia, Oceania, Americas, etc. The food especially. That's what makes Australia so exciting! you find a Thai restaurant somewhere, and right around the corner there could be a Spanish, Italian, Turkish, or Arabic restaurant! This is why I refer to Australia as a mini earth, because you could visit another country by just crossing the road!

2. Transport - Some people argue that Australia public transport is bad. I personally think it's awesome! And it has definitely improved over the past few years. With the implementation of the Opal card system, and more advanced trains. I can pretty much just about go anywhere without having to drive a car. I can catch a train, or bus, or even a ferry to get around Sydney.

Why I Love Economics

Image
Economics is a social science where studies the interaction of factors internally or externally that affects the market. I am a student of economics but more than anything else ; it is my HOBBY. Learning and reading economics not only gives me the understanding of wacky theories of why someone would actually buy and consume this particular good. But realistically, it is not about the actual reason why they would purchase the good for eg; I need food cause I am hungry? or something like I need petrol cause I have a car. Economics links the ties between a person in need of some good but what will change their perception of actually buying more of that particular good or less of it. Throwing consumption of a good aside, economics also touches on why producers would actually make or sell something. The reason is pretty simple behind all those complicated theories. They sell them because they are people actually buying them. Most of you will be like ; DUH isn't that o...

Why I love coffee

Image
There are only 2 types of people in the world. The ones who drink coffee or the ones that drink tea. Well, You guessed it! I am definitely a coffee person. I love coffee! I love how it taste, I love the whole ritual around drinking coffee, whether brewing it myself or just sitting in a coffee house with a nice hot cup of coffee catching up with a friend. And I love how it feels after I drink it! I enjoy my coffee when taken in small amounts, that way I can slowly enjoy and taste the aromatic smell of the coffee. In this post I'm going to list down some of my favorite coffees and what it is actually made out of. picture reference: Sydneymovingguide.com I personally love Espresso. Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods as it has a high concentration of suspended and dissolved solids. As you can see in the picture above, espresso only consist 1/3 of espresso shot. So yes it will be bitter for those who are not use to drinking coffee on a daily b...

Why I hate Objects I'm sure there are things in your life that just make you want to scream "Why Me!?". This is one of those times. Let me make this very clear, I like things, whether they help with chores or are recreational goods, they make life a lot better. Dishwashers wash dishes. Computers play games. Washing machines wash clothes. Bookshelves hold things. Vacuum Cleaners Clean Floors. Fantastic Right? These objects, as brilliant and wonderful as they are, only bring joy if they are correct and in working order. In my case I have had issues with many objects, here's a list, please note the following occurrences are ALL whilst still under the product's warranty - Entertainment unit - Missing magnets to hold doors closed - Custom Designed Bar - Missing the interior shelves. - Outdoor Setting - Wrong colour, 6/10 chairs completely warped. - BBQ - Missing 1/2 hot plates. - Had to wait 3 weeks for BBQ to arrive and another 4 ...
