It's easy to like Sydney – the city has got something for all tastes. Orbville member Mandel shares his passion for the Australian metropolis.

Sydney has got a little of everything – Orbville member Mandel tells us why he's fallen in love with the city: You haven’t been there? Then go! Okey, so you have ben there? Well, go again! I’m talking about a city that you'll never forget – Sydney. The city of dreams! I was there for a month in 2002 and have dreamt of returning there ever since. It didn’t take long before the city felt like home. And when I’m thinking about it, it’s not in terms of “I wanna go there again”, but “I wanna go back home to Syndey”. And that’s what really good places do to you, they get burned into your mind and becomes a part of you, they make you feel free and very welcome. Even though there are about 4 million inhabitants in Sydney it never feels packed or stressful anywhere, at any time. You can find anything here: shopping, beaches, surfing, restaurants, cafés, parks and ordinary people. It is easy to get around with public transport: take the bus, the metro or the monorail. There are loads of things to do, in every price range. To tell you the truth I’m just a rookie in the city, yet I dare to say that I have a few tips of things that you’ll never forget. Check my tips out: 1. The Operahouse 2. The lovely block Darling Harbour 3. Blue Mountains 4. Harbour Bridge 5. Take a stroll through Hyde Park and watch some people play giant chess 1. Surfing at Bondi beach 2. Eat & See a movie att Govindas. (A vegetarian restaurant with a lovely buffet – when you’re full you just walk in to the cinema and rest in the couches while watching a movie. Awesome!) 3. A good book and a day in one of the armchairs at Gloria Jean’s 4. The shopping street – Oxford street 5. Be a part of the surf culture at Manly beach So you are very welcome home! The best way to get to know a city is to give it a chance. Give your little finger to Sydney and I assure you, it will grab your whole hand! Have a look at Mandel's profile at Orbville.com
