In love.....
heya people...
being back for awhile..
but have been so engrossed in sch and soccer and everything that i have not blogged...
june>> i think you'll totally love SYdney...
its a big big big big big big city...
went there years ago but it never donned on me how large tt city just was...
its like Singapore just tt with lots more to see and do..
not too sure what ur plans are but there are just some places that you have to go...
first of all for shopping...
instead of going to town take the train to chatsworth
shopping is terrific... i spent a whole day there and have only covered a small part of it.
for food.. there's fish market... really renoun but seafood is not quite one of my weaknesses.. but i think its defi worth a visit...
There's this place called Direct Factory Outlets..
its a must go... lots of fashion and stuff at really good prices.. din really have much time so i din get anything from there... 69 shops there i think... really big.. its somewhere near the olympic stadium.. which is where ur hillsong thing is at rite?
i went to hillsongs church too.. went to the one in the city... their hospitality is superd... a girl studying medcine there talkied to me.. had hot choc and everything... haha. oh and the area around the church is really so nice.. but the houses are really pricy.. like one million odd each.. its quivalent to out shophouses in spore.. just that they place much more value on haritage and stuff..
ther is blue mountains too... its really beutiful... but quite cold.. u can take a train up stay in hte youth hostel and then come back the next day...
i think its a worhty experince cause u haven't experience sydney if u haven't seen the mountains..
if u have time u can go to manly... its a really pristine seaside village with the poshness of citylife all the same.. has quiksilver, ripcurl, billabong and all... and many mnay many shops... not forgetting the fact that there's a chocolate by the bald man.. max brauher shop.. yummy deliciousness....
food is really not a problem.. the chinese food.. there's this really good restaurant in chatswood.. above myers.. a lil priccy but defi worth it dining comes with soup deserts and fruits on the house.. =) in town where hay market is.. they have a good vietnamese food... its rather alritely priced.. should go there and try their noodles.. authentic i would say... the hong kong food there is also superd.. meaning dim sum and stuff...
i always though singapore was the epitome of cosmopolitan(isation) if there's such a word...but my trip to sydney reALLy changed my views.. ther are lots of diff pple there... japs indians italians germans viet prcs the list goes on.. they are defi not one pple cause their traditions have went with them to syd... along with their food...
was staying at my aunt's place and the jap population there is qutie large.. they even have a jap video shop... jap bookstore jap provision shop in one small town.. its like steppin into a foreign land in a foreign land itself... i was amazed... delighted and all.. really so pleasant... city life and country life all wrapped into one... the pace of life is pleasant.. the weather pleasant.. the scenery pleasing... i wanna be lost in that world...
i fell in love....
...With Sydney
