Things to do in Sydney: Part 1

Ok so I am into my fourth month of my relocaton and although i haven't seen much of NSW, I must say I am currently on a very steady pace of discovering what's there to do in Sydney. So I am going to make a list, I love making lists. I think i will introduce the Sydney CBD or City to you first and then in my next post, i will share with you all the suburban juicy locations.

Sydney City
Central, Town Hall, Wynyard, Circular Quay, St James, Martin Place and Museum station is basically the city cirle, in which you can easily catch the city circle line to get around or you can walk. With so much to see 1 day won't really be enough to cover everything.

1) CENTRAL:
If you stop at central, you will be in close proximity to Chinatown, I must say this is the best Chinatown this country has, compared to Brisbane and Perth's pathetic Chinatowns that is only made up of 1 street. You can get almost everything you need to suit your Asia craving! Also in the heart of China town, you have Paddy's Market, first time visiors should give it a visit! Rows and Rows of souviniers, clothes, hardware and jewellery shops. Always the whole round before you get carried away with your spending, you might just save a buck or two at the shops all the way inside.

2) TOWNHALL:
At Townhall, you have your cinemas, shopping centres - like the famous QVB and cafes. At St James you could visit hyde park, where alot of street events are held, also just or a quiet afternoon picnic in the sun.

3) ST JAMES:
A short walk from St James, you could visit Sydney's wilder side of the city: Kingscross - With all the bars, clubs and nightclubs all lined up to spice up your nightlife.

4) CIRCULAR QUAY
At circular quay, this is the main ferry terminal where you would go take the ferries to Manley, Watsons Bay, Double Bay, Parramatta etc. Also a short walk from Circular quay and you would end up at The Rocks.

more updates in the next post... look out for part 2
