After Gavin and Christina’s wedding, my wife and I made our way to Sydney via Tiger Airways. Stupid airline doesn’t have web check in so we had to go to the airport extremely early.
We stayed at Sui Lin’s place at the city. It was spacious and Sui Lin vacated her room for us while she slept in the living room. Thanks SuiSui!
The last time I was in Sydney was in 2002. I don’t remember much of it but somehow memories of the place kept coming back when we were roaming around Sydney. It’s a nice place. Everything seems clean and efficient but the retailers were not very friendly. One incident we had at an unnamed coffee joint:
Sui Lin: What’s the name of this place?
Barista: You can check it on the receipt.
Bloody Bugger
After I took a picture of the place.
Barista: It’s 5 dollars per picture.
Bloody Bugger didn’t even give us a receipt!
The coffee was just okay. But I still prefer Mecca coffee which is just opposite that unnamed coffee joint.
We took a cruise around Sydney Harbour. We had a great view of the Sydney Bridge, Opera House and many other parts.
Smallest wedding ever. This couple needs more friends.
Sui Lin brought us to Hurricanes to have ribs. Sui Lin, my wife and I shared one rack of ribs whereas Sui Lin’s boyfriend had one rack for himself.
Other than the cruise, we also managed to check out Sydney from the Sydney Eye Tower. Somehow my wife and I like going to all these observatory decks. Last one we went was Top of the Rock at New York City.
The queue to the observation deck was pretty short and it wasn’t crowded.
We also got to see Sydney at night.
Sydney Opera House on close up. Now you know how it looks like.
