Today was a big day here in Sydney. The new Sydney Metro line opened, connecting suburbs in the north through the city centre to suburbs in the south. It’s the first train line to run underneath Sydney Harbour. And one of the new stations is walking distance from my home!
I didn’t actually ride on the Metro today, but I will be using the new line for the first time on Thursday when I go into the university to do my image processing lecture. My wife’s work is right across the street from another of the new stations, and I can hop on there very conveniently after dropping off Scully at her work. The new line takes me to Central station where I normally get off.
One of my friends spent time today riding the new train and taking photos of all the new stations. It’s pretty big news here and there were thousands of people keen to try out the service. Hopefully by Thursday it will have calmed down a little!
For me it was a day of finishing off the Video Games topic in my ethics classes, with 6 classes during the day. I also started work on the next week’s topic, which is “Sayings”. We’re going to examine a bunch of English sayings, work out their figurative meanings, and discuss if they are sensible or bad advice.
