Conversations by the water in Barangaroo Wharf

A few months ago, the Heist team flew off to Sydney for fieldwork. As we were hopping in Ubers on our way to interviews and back, we decided to use that time in the car to learn even more about the city we were in and its inhabitants. Along the ride, we asked our Uber drivers two questions:

#1. What would you recommend we do in Sydney?
#2. What is a piece of life advice you can share with us?

The responses we got were at times funny, and often very deep. First, let’s take a look at the recommendations:

This simple exercise that we did just for us helped uncover some really great recommendations and advice. Often paired with a burst of laughter, these conversations were a quick and light-hearted way to bond with others, making the ride interesting and enjoyable for all.
