Insider Tip #14

SNEAKERS. Make sure you leave room for them. You're probably going to want to do some of the touristy stuff and go on lots of walking tours or if you're feeling really ambitious, maybe a hike or two. We had a gym really close to where we lived, but I needed new sneakers anyway so I figured I'd just buy them in Sydney... little did I know, the cheapest athletic shoes you could find were about $250 dollars. Yeah, my mom sent me my old ones in the mail.
