I landed on Sydney International Airport, and I was standing in a line waiting for immigration inspection for nearly 40 minutes. But, it's shorter than the time I queued at San Francisco International Airport. It had been 3 hours.
And, second queuing is in Baggage Claim. In this country, inspectors are categorizing passengers into groups by what they have in their luggage.
Fortunately, I didn't have trouble in this section. But, when I bought a ticket of CityRail, I lost much money. I mistakenly purchased a ticket to ZigZag station for 7 days, which I had thought is a Free Pass.
Then, the total amount of my loss is 80 Australian Dollars. Anyway, I decided to take trains around CityRail by normal tickets.

Museum station
Museum displayed ethnic histories, botany, animals in Australia. The most impressive thing for me is full of kids corners. I felt this museum take education into consideration.

After that, I ate fried rice at Westfield. It tasted almost the same as what I often eat in Japan.

Novotel
And, I couldn't find the hotel near Central station tonight. After losing my way for about 40 minutes, I found a small gate of the objective hotel. At the hotel, I shared the same room with a German man and an English woman. When I talked with the latter, she said "Oh, my god." frequently. I wondered why.
