My "N" is for the National Maritime Museum in Sidney, Australia.  Docked on the left is the HMAS Vampire and to our right the HMAS Onslow.  The Onslow is a vintage submarine and this was the closest to a sub I have been yet.  The picture on the right is another view of the area outside the museum.

We did not go inside the ships or the museum because for the two hours we would spend the price for admission was atrocious.  There was a senior price, very low, for which we would have paid and then gone inside.  But this museum only allowed citizens of Australia to have that.  In the U.S. and most countries we visit, if a person is the appropriate age then there is no discrimination based on citizenship.  For some goodies in Sydney we did pay only the senior price.

 

That's all the "N" word pictures I have but I did want to finish up, or almost finish posting my New Zealand and Australia holiday pictures.  You can see all I have so far here, (Our 2012-2013 New Zealand and Australia).

Above is a little kids' park along the way to the museum.  This boat looks like fun.  On the is Mrs. Jim coming out of China Town.

 

Fruit and vegetable market was about like the ones in our grocery stores except this on was in the Market building.  On Saturday night we went to a concert in the park. The park was full of people out for the evening's nice weather.

 

Mrs. Jim is ready a Sarsaparilla at the oldest bar in Sydney.  I would rather be back on the ferry, riding around in the harbor.  And we did, pictures follow. 

   

I didn't expect to see this little amusement park along the shore. It looked inviting but we didn't have time to stop in. Besides they may not have let us pay the cheaper senior rate.

Now for my Thursday Two Questions.

My last post last week was about an "M" word, More.

My Two Questions for this week (you can answer just one if you wish):.

1. Have you ever been discriminated against because of some silly rule? 

This one today was because I was not a citizen.  Other times is has been because I was too old.  Or that this _____ was available only for the opposite sex.  Etc, etc, etc. 

2. When you are on holiday how do you interface with the natives?

I like to pick their brains about how some things work in their countries or find out about their heritage.

Bonus Question: What is your favorite "N" word?
