One ticket to Sydney, please!


Sydney, land of the great Opera House and the Coat Hanger bridge. Or is it? Maybe you'll see a Big Ceilidh Fiddle instead.

Turns out some people wanting to visit the bustling Australian city have been visiting another Sydney instead. Like the Argentinian and two British would-be tourists who ended up in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, where the only attraction is that fiddle. Pay attention, people! Cambridge, Mass, and Cambridge, UK are both college towns, but in very different places. And let me tell you, Melbourne, Arkansas, Melbourne, Florida, and Melbourne, Derbyshire, are very different from Melbourne, Australia. Ah, the perils of online flight bookings.
