It took me a long time to fall in love with Sydney. I resisted it for many years. I went travelling, I came back. I moved to Fremantle, I came back. I went travelling again...this time my journey was more nomadic and exhilarating and in turn more exhausting. I was ready to come home when I did and I was longing for it to the point where I built it up as being an amazing place in my head. Only when I came home, for the first time I did see Sydney as the incredible place that it is and have been singing it's praise ever since (of course except when I am stuck in traffic...then I'm thinking it blows).
I am constantly discovering new things in this town. Wednesday night I finally went to The Red Lantern (http://www.redlantern.com.au/), an acclaimed Vietnamese restaurant in Surry Hills that I have been blabbing about for months. What a fantastic place. Atmospheric, delicious and friendly.
This week I read about a Guatemalan coffee house on Danks Street called Mayan Coffee on Danks (http://www.mayancoffee.com.au/) so I met some friends there today and enjoyed some organic drinking chocolate with chilli and cinnamon. It was yummy and warming. I also lapped up the potato tortilla. The tastes were really reminiscent of time spent in Mexico. The venue itself appealed to my inner hippie (c'mon we all have it!), with world music, brightly woven tablecloths and central american art for sale.
And did I mention the sun is shining...see...what's not to love?
