I had been in Sydney since Wednesday nite. Havent seen much of the city except for The Rocks which I had the chance to wander around during lunch & in the evening. That has always been the case with business trip.
I arrived at the hotel around 9.30pm on Wednesday. The suite had a view of Sydney's skyscrapper & part of the Harbour Bridge. Thought I could check out a place to eat but was told that the nearest restaurant, down at the corner of the Essex street would be closing by 10pm. So, that was basically an early nite for me then.
Yesterday evening, my friends & I walked to QVB (Queen Victoria Building), down by George St. The building was simply amazing. Well, we managed to shop a bit at the QVB. It's quite fortunate as the business hour is extended to 8pm on Thursday nite.
I finally got that Corduroy jacket that I've been meaning to get. [Oh yes, I'm in cloud 9]
And today, after a quick lunch, we took a walk to The Rocks. I really must say that the government had done a great job preserving all these old buildings. Well, since it was only a short walk, I made a mental note to come again.
The picture posted is taken at The Rocks, at the junction of Harrington Street & Argyle Street. Notice the cleanliness of the street & the condition of the traffic? Great, huh.
This evening, after the training was over, we walked to Circular Quay and the iconic Sydney Opera House. Ling left me on my own to travel. After walking about the Circular Quay, I made my way back to The Rocks, to have my dinner. It was such a pity that I didn't manage to walk around much to take more pictures before the sun set.
At this point, I'm planning to go there again, after breakfast tomorrow to catch the market before checking out of the hotel.
Well, I love it here in Sydney. The pace is much slower than KL even though it's a city. People are not rushing away like mad men. The city is clean and people are law observing. You won't even have a hard time trying to cross the streets. I like the old sydney & amazed at the restored buildings. I like the happenings of Circular Quay. I like the weather and its cool breeze.
Hey, I don't even mind staying in a city like this.
I wish I could stay longer here & explore so much more of Sydney but I can't really ask for more.
