11. Go on a date with yourself

Taking oneself out, is seen with very bad eyes. But remember, there’s no satisfaction like on a date with yourself. There’s a certain amount of peace that prevails as you are left with your thoughts alone and you can go for that pizza or a burger or a brew that you have long been craving! 

There are multiple places to visit in Sydney. Catch a movie, read a book, stare at art, buy anything antique, drink a little, and observe a little before you head back in the rains, drenched! 

According to our writer, rains are the best time to procrastinate all your work while you sleep in late or read a book. With some music and a cup of coffee, it is the world’s best feeling!
