Sydney in a Dropbox

Went to Sydney with the girls in April. As usual, tons of photos were taken. Usually we will share the pictures by:
1) Saving them into a thumb drive each
2) Meeting up
3) Transfer them to a laptop
4) Re-transferring to the thumb drive again.

This time, we decided to use the Dropbox which I must say is more efficient. Each of us just upload the pictures into Dropbox and then download the pictures we want - from 4 steps to 2 steps! The only drawback is probably space not enough as all of us are given 2GB free for a start.

If you have not gotten Dropbox and want to try, click here! If you join and install Dropbox from this link, both you and I will get 500MB of bonus space! :)

Enough said about Dropbox :P Although here's a group photo of us taken at Sydney Tower Eye that I just downloaded from Dropbox...

Us and fireworks over the Sydney Harbour Bridge! :)

I must say Sydney is really good at creating experiences and making money at the same time. Haha. At the entrance of major attractions, there was a photo stop where a crew member took a photo of us and then superimposed it onto beautiful backgrounds which were almost impossible for us to take on our own. At the end of our visit, we were asked if we wanted to buy the photos which were put into a nice album of the attraction. Being the laid back Australians, they were never pushy and yet we ended up buying 2 albums - one at Sydney Tower (see above - nice, right?) and another at the Sydney Opera House (see below :))

We took the essential tour! Sydney Opera House is gorgeous, I must say. Will definitely be dedicating a post to share my thoughts about it :)

I really like this fireworks picture. It kind of reminded me of our dinner at Cockle Bay Wharf where we also enjoyed a splendid display of fireworks which I captured in a video. Visit ilovelongvacation to watch it :)

Any plans for the weekend? Looking forward to it - I'm going to watch The Great Gatsby today (Saturday) and off to the Marina Regatta on Sunday!
