Part 2/9:
After saving for months and preparing for his trip, Max finally boarded a plane to Sydney. His excitement peaked as the plane touched down, and he stepped out into the warm air filled with the scent of the ocean. The friendliness of the locals was evident when a local gave him directions with a cheerful “good mate, how's it going?”—a greeting he would soon learn was a staple of Australian conversations.
As he took the bus to his hotel, he was captivated by Sydney's bustling streets, lively cafes, and street performers. With a heart full of anticipation, he prepared for his first day of English classes at an Australian language school.
