THE ROCKS   The Rock Markets don't open on weekdays, meaning they only open on Saturday and Sunday. They are opened from 10am to 5pm every weekend. There you will be able to take a walk and discover unique art, beats, eats and remedies.  If you want to go by bus to The Rocks, it is easy. For buses travelling through the CBD along Elizabeth Street, get off the bus at Bridge Street and head north to The Rocks. Bus stops are also located along Alfred Street.  Finally, I'm going to speak about my favourite shop, Emporium of Chocolate. At this shop, they sell handmade chocolates based on traditonal Brazilian recipes. The story of Daniel from making old familiar recipes in Brazil in 1998 to creating the shop in Australia in 2005 is so beautiful. Also its great flavoured chocolates makes it my favourite shop at The Rocks Markets.    

DARLING HARBOUR At Darling Harbour, there are lots of fun things to do for everyone. You can visit museums like the Powerhouse Museum or the Australian National Maritime Museum. If you like animals, you can go to the Wildlife Sydney Zoo where you can see kangaroos and koalas up close. For some excitement, you can try jet boat rides or explore the Aquarium with its amazing marine creatures. There are also activities for younger kids like carousels and playgrounds. My favorite activity at Darling Harbour is visiting the Wildlife Sydney Zoo. The thing to do which I liked the most was getting close to animals, and at this zoo, you can feed kangaroos and hold koalas, which is super fun. Being able to interact with these animals is really special. Moreover, it's a great way to learn about Australian wildlife and why it's important to protect them.

HYDE PARK THINKING ROUTINE    In this picture we can see an old and a young person playing giant chess together, surrounded by nature in Hyde Park. There are also people at the back, watching how they play. It looks like they play there almost everyday. In Hyde Park you can't only play giant chess, but you can also have a walk through nature, take a look at its monuments or have lunch or dinner. There is a similar place where I live, Bilbao, which is the "Parque de Doña Casilda". It is a huge park full of nature and there is a museum called "Bellas Artes" near it. I usually go there for a walk with my friends. I like to go out to a park with my friends and take a walk while we speak together. We also used to play football there in a concrete football pitch, but we don't play anymore.

Look, there's a koala over there! Taronga Zoo Savings for teenagers A group of eight teenagers (14 years old) could save 10% if they buy their tickets online. The total price would be 216£, but with this 10%, off they would have to pay 194.4£, so they would save 21.6£. As they are 14 years old, each of them have to pay 27£. If they were adults, they would have to pay 45.90£ each (367.2£ in total), so they also save a huge amount of money for being teenagers (172.8£ saved).

ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES MAMAN In my opinion, the piece of art called "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois is the most interesting one at the Art Gallery in New South Wales. This amazing sculpture created by the French-American artist, immediately caught my attention when I saw it. Maman is a giant spider sculpture placed in the gallery. It stands more than 9 metres high and 10 metres wide. It is made of bronze, steel and marble. It was made in 1999 and it is free to see for all at any hour. What made me focus on it was that there is a very similar one in Bilbao, where I live, next to the famous Guggenheim museum. Both spider sculptures were made by Bourgeois. There are seven more sculptures like these around the world, such as at Tate Modern in the UK or at Athen’s Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. Apart from this incredible spider, after visiting the Art Gallery I would highlight its extensive collection of Aboriginal art. From traditional dot paintings to contempor...
