Sydney Australia

Usually the first pictures of Sydney posted by people will be the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. However, this time round, I shall post a picture that represent the tranquil lifestyle of Australia.
Every time I go the Australia, my pace of living slows down to a more comfortable level. That is the charm of Aussie I don't get in other countries



In the Royal Botanical Garden, you can see people lazing around, feeding birds and ducks, jogging, or simply doing nothing and let the time goes by. That is what it should be. That is what a garden is meant to be.

Even working with laptop seems more relaxing there!

The more cliche post

Now the more cliche post:

Cliche it may be, but The Sydney Opera House never loses it charm.

"Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself"

Quote from Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf

Circular Quay. Spot the seagull?

Fit for a Queen. The Queen Victoria Building. The shopping there is probably for queens and royals as well. The items there are super expensive, but it is a really nice building.


This isn't exactly at City Centre. It is Paddington (Oxford Street). I was on my way to Bondi.

Bondi Beach

How could I have missed Bondi Beach?!?!? Here are some pics of it. It is only about 8 km from City Centre. And best of all, there's a direct bus near my hotel.

Tried surfing: signed up a 2 hour surfing lesson. Felt like I was in the washing machine in cold water. Still couldn't stand up. But is was really fun!

Hunter Valley and Royal Botanical Gardens

Roses are red

Violets are blue ( actually, I'm not sure what these flowers are?)



These flowers deserve a special mention. We usually see them in pharmacy in the form of capsule /bottle/ sachet .

Tea anyone? Here are some chamomile flowers
Lavender: calming and soothing

Echinacea for immunity boost

Pic from Australian Ray and Shark Centre.There isn't a Great White. But this is a really funny quote also from Finding Nemo

"I am a nice shark. Not a mindless eatin' machine. If I want to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends. Not food."
