break time...

What is the best to do during a break? Besides sipping a cuppa or chewing some snacks, mind trip is what I often do. These few days I keep thinking about Sydney probably because of the many Aussie cues perceived recently.

The Aussie trainers, the koala clip I got from a game (you know, those little furry koala clip you see in every souvenir shop in Australia), the Aussie humor, my brother's calls, books from Koorong...

Recently Sue got a chance to revisit Sydney for "work". She was asked to travel with a girl who's going to start her study life there and to show her around and get settled. What a dream job! I couldn't help start thinking of my favorite places and how I would plan a trip like that.

I haven't visited Sydney for almost 3 years by now. Last time was for landing after the PR visa was granted. I was thinking seriously to take up some studies for the 2 years residence required for the citizenship. Then for some reason, I'm still here, and my PR visa will expire quite soon too. Should take a authentic Aussie break before the visa expires....

Places I miss so much: Manly, Maroubra, Chatswood, fish market, the Rocks, Circular Quay, West Ryde, Hyde Park, Warringah Mall... and of course UNSW!
