G'day / Hey
The Russky Island Bridge — completed 2012 for the APEC summit and briefly the world's longest cable-stayed bridge — is free to cross by bus or car. The view of Golden Horn Bay from the bridge at golden hour is among the most spectacular urban panoramas in Russia.
Australians value informality — don't be too formal. Outdoor culture is huge; beaches are free and public.
🇷🇺 Vladivostok Fun Fact
Vladivostok means 'Ruler of the East' in Russian. The city is closer to San Francisco than to Moscow, and was completely closed to all foreigners — and most Soviet citizens — until 1992, classified as a top-secret Pacific naval base. The Trans-Siberian Railway terminates here, 9,289 km and 8 time zones from Moscow.
🇦🇺 Sydney Fun Fact
Sydney Opera House has over 1 million roof tiles and took 14 years to build, finishing in 1973.
