I have been busy the last few days. Aya's mom was in Canberra last week so I brought her around town to visit some friends. Then we drove up to Sydney on Friday. It was Aya's company dinner and we had promised to go together.
On Saturday we took a ferry from Circular Quay to Manly Beach. It was a 30-minute trip so I had plenty of opportunity to take photos along the way with my N93. Unfortunately it was a bit cloudy that day so some of the photo did not turn out good. But here are some of the nice ones.
Compare the top two photos of Opera House with the bottom three. Look great in 'Negative' mode, don't they?
The last few days had also been a time of eating out because aunty is a good food lover. So we brought her around city, trying out different cuisines, from restaurants which we are also fond of. Here are some photos of our visits and the food we had:
Restaurant: My Angus
Location: Darling Harbour, Sydney
Food: Pork rib rack, Grilled barramundi, Greek salad
Activity: Ferry ride from Circular Quay to Manly Beach
Duration: 30-minute
Price: $12.40 Adult Return Ticket
Location: Manly Beach, Sydney
Activity: Looking at sea gulls hovering in the air, targeting unsuspecting beach-goers and their food
Location: Manly Beach, Sydney
Location: Sydney Fish Market, Pyrmont, Sydney
Food: Grilled swordfish, Prawn skewers, scallops, tuna and salmon sashimi, lobster mornay
Restaurant: Kobe Jones
Location: Kings Street Wharf, Darling Harbour, Sydney
Food: Lolly Pop Roll (shown below), Baked Dynamite Scallops, Volcano Roll, No. 1 Special, Unagi Somen Noodles,
We also had Yum Cha in Chinatown as well as Korean food in a Korean restaurant called 'Madang'. You'd never find it because you have to walk into an alley and make a turn so you can't really see the restaurant front from the main street. But it is always packed. We had to wait for about 30 minutes to get a table for three. Food was delicious!
I rushed back on Monday morning because I had a departmental seminar to prepare and present on Tuesday. More about that later.
