Western World in Asia Pacific

1) It was my first visit to a place outside of Asia. Many new experiences to be felt and told about.
2) I have to blog this as memory tends to fail me at times.
3) The 8hours long flight was smooth and I boarded the train to CBD Sydney after getting a Yes Oparus line which is surprisingly cheap at $2/day, and an Opal card like the EZLink card.
4) Was abit lost initially on my way to my backpack hostel. Thanks for my old faithful Nokia phone and some beginner luck, I manage to get to the destination, it just seems like appeared in front of me.
5) Spend some time walking around street and realized that all the items are considered expensive after conversion; but relatively cheap if compared a dollar to a dollar.
6) The next Morning I spend sometime to finish up my office work before meeting up with Tim at the Town Hall. We had very special cake (in conjunction with our birthday) with watermelon in between layers of cream, bottom layered with cookies, top with strawberries and sprinkle with rose petal at the very top. It was a 100% WoW on the rich taste. The goodness of it, is not something comprehensible until you try it yourself.
7) After that we had a long walk to the famous Sydney Opera House. The magnificent building together with the harbor view is breath-taking. We went around for a short walk enjoying the view. It was really relaxing and fun. We had some nice chat by the sea, and a 'famous' ice cream according to Tim hahaha!! It's all nice and wonderful.
8) We then took a ferry ride to Darling Harbour cruising under the Harbour Bridge and enjoying the splendid view of Sydney. It was stunning and a view to die for.
9) Our dinner location is a Korea Restaurant nearby China Town which Tim has always wanted to visit. I finally took beef which taste surprisingly good. The food is really tasty and I wonder was it due to the partner or it is just purely good food. I like the service attitude of the staffs there and the price is very reasonable.
10) Next we went to Coles Supermarket, it was a really good experience to shop with Tim. I like the idea of doing grocery shopping with her, knowing what she likes and buys, participating in her life. We then took a bus ride back to her campus and after I sent her off, I was then back to my hostel.
11) Despte it was only the second time walking back to my hostel, it was already all too familiar. I have yet to plan what to do tmr as Tim is busy with her proposal. Will only see her again joining her class on coming Monday. 
12) I am now blogging after did some reading.Sleeping soon as it is about 1am local time.
