I would have thought that New York has the most people of Italian descent outside of Italy. For that matter, Boston and Philadelphia, whose metros to my knowledge are large than Sydney's or Melbourne's, both have a huge percentage of residents with Italian heritage.

Beautiful pics.

Australia..... so far away

I hope with the A380 cheap and direct flights to Australia would be possible from Frankfurt.

That opera house looks so small and poor there. I've been always thinking it's a lot of bigger. Very nice photos though and that bridge is awesome. I would like to see some more.

The Opera House does not look small and poor... it is the best architectural
feature of Sydney, by a country mile. It has stood the test of time, and looks as fresh today as the day it opened. :cheers:

Just for everyone's interest, they were taken from the top floor of Grosvenor Place.

LOL at small and poor, that ferry in front of it is rather large you know, The Sydney Opera House is not small and certainly not poor, it cost a small country's GDP to builld

What boggles my mind is, how flippin' big does anyone expect an Opera House to be? 110 stories??? Good grief. :weird:

The Operah House is so tiny, i hope i will find it when i visit Sydney.
:jk:

It looks big in the photo, but in reality it is only two feet tall, with a big magnifying
glass in front of it!!!

I didn't mean it's poor in negative way, sorry. In Finnish "poor" doesn't sound that negative. I think "lonely" is a better word. And quite small because I have been thinking it's bigger. I don't understand why you guys made this so big thing that everyone is telling worse and worse jokes here. It's definitely one of my favourite buildings in the world. Of course that angle makes it looks smaller, but
I compared it with those other buildings there and it looked smaller than I thought. For example in this this photo it looks so huge.

Hope you guys understand. Of course it's wonderful building and I love its design, it isn't that easy to find correct words if you aren't a native speaker. ;-)

Maybe he's referring to actual immigrants, and not people who parents or grandparents or great grandparents immigrated.
