Surprisingly Sydney has turned out to be really good for food. The Fish and Chips is good; at least Sweetheart and Beloved like the chips , for me they are cooked at too high a temperature and are too crisp, but the fish is excellent. We've had good Thai food and good Italian but there is a large Chinatown and we took ourselves off there for a blowout one lunchtime and saw the Chinese Friendship Garden. In 1987
Sydney made a big thing of its Bicentenary. America gave it a Gallery in the Maritime Museum and Ghangzhou (Canton) with which it's twinned gave it a garden. It's quite odd because instead of blending into a background of sky and park it's hemmed in by skyscapers, a lot probably built after the garden I would guess. I seen better chinese gardens , mostly in China but notably at the Liverpool Garden Festival but it made a nice change of pace on a hot day.
