Ok, I know its been almost 4 months since I'm back from New Zealand but here are the photos. I'm going to just post pictures according to the order I took them and just type my observations(:

Inside Sydney International Airport:
Erm, I remembered we just landed at Sydney after a pretty rough flight from Singapore. We would be in transit for 3 hours at Sydney. This photo was taken at 3.40am (sg time)/ 6.40am (Sydney time). So there we are, grumpy and a litttle out of sorts with cheerful Australians greeting us GOOD MORNING! HOW ARE YOU! WELCOME TO SYDNEY! :S Oh, and I took this photo while waiting for the others to finish brushing their teeth/wash up.

Now, its inevitable that when we Singaporeans (ok, I'm talking about myself) travel, we tend to compare the other airports with our very own Changi Airport, formerly the World's Best Airport. And frankly, Changi Airport is still the best. Because where else can you buy hair clips one hour before your flight? Er, actually, I forgot to pack hair clips and I absolutely needed them. So thank goodness there's MiniBits at Changi. Seriously though, in terms of free internet access, service, speed and efficiency of checking in/clearing customs at arrival, shopping, restaurants, direction signs, security, cleanliness of restrooms, Changi wins hands down. We had problems finding a computer with free internet access at Sydney. And even after we found one, I had to wait for quite a while for there were people waiting to use it, and it was only 56k. And there isn't any free wireless internet at Sydney's Airport, so we couldn't use my brother's laptop):
