Land of the south

Terra Australis:

After flying 2.5hours to Buenos Aires and another 13 hours flight finally arrived at Sydney Australia. Sydney is situated one degree below to Sao Paulo, so even it is winter in Sao Paulo as well there was a bit more shiverness to the skin in Australia.

Sydney is truly a multi-cultural nation. If you sit outside of a coffee shop and see people passing by in fron of you, 4 or 5 out of 10 people are Chinese, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean people. But what really fascinates me is that many of them are Australian citizens.

Sao Paulo's eating out culture is very rich especially in Italian, Spanish and Japanese thanks to the immigrants and of course the Brazilian regional cuisine is a true mix of history, culture and its originality.

Well in Sydney>>> Many great modern French restaurants starting to get huge attention from world wide. Also very diverse in Asian cuisine. Ooh~ Yes! Vietnamese rice noodles, Indian prawn madras, Thai Laksa, Korean yuk-ge-jang and last but not least Amazing Japanese sushis~!
I'm absolutely lost! Where should I start?
I came here to do a culinary course and learn how to cook! not just to develop my taste pallette!

Right now, I'm excited, thrilled, surprised about this country.
2 years and 3 months!
I'm sure that the time will fly with lots of food related activities, new friends and new culture.
