Sydney - Arrived into Sydney and was happy to be able to watch 3 movies. Caught the taxi to Mariott Sydney - wow! so expensive - A$ 51 (and Aussie $ is hitting the roof @ 1.35 i.e. S$ 68.85) whilst my taxi fare from home to airport (about the same distance cost S$ 25).
Mariott Sydney is a nice business class Hotel located @ 36 College Street. There are 2 Mariotts hotel in Sydney - the other is located at Circular Quay. This Mariott @ College Street is just across Hyde Park.
Met up with Joe and we went around town not sure what what we have in mind for dinner as most of the restaurants are closed, finally decided to hop into a Lebanese Restaurant; which coincidentally was also Joe last name - Habib - the restaurant is Habibi Restaurant, did not get any discount though! This was my 1st time eating Lebanese food and not sure what I was infront of me - of all the dishes, the Garlic Chicken was most appealing to me. It's an acquired taste....
