went to Scenic World @ Blue Mountain National Park, Katoomba today. Beautiful scene, waterfalls, very very nice place... 
i had tried to step down a very very very steep stairways... oh mo... unbelievable..!! 
we got into the world's steepest train too, no seat belt available but its really really really steep... although its kinda short la.. haha...
and we were in a cable car where we can step on the glass floor to see the views of the forest 200metres below... see those green thing below? its the forest... actually i donno wat makes me stand on it... (you know.. i don even dare to sit on a roller coaster... dunno wat happen to me today...)
then..we went to the Jenolan Caves, its located kinda deep inside the forest where there are no network coverage in that area... the temperature inside the cave is like... 15 degrees celcius... the cave tour is abt 1.5hrs... walk a lot inside the caves... many stairways again... n really cold.. haha... but worth it lahh...
oh ya... n we saw two WILD small kangaroos on our way back... hahaha... its wild for real ! hahaha...unbelievable !!!!
the journey today begins at 730am and we reached home like 9pm... what a long day! hahaha... walk A LOT today... stairways stairways stairways... hope it do burns some calories.. hahaha.... 
luckily its not that hot today... we still manage to stay in the park for like.. erm.. 2 hrs? hahaha.. i cant even recall when is the last time i went to a zoo...years i think.. issit that long? hahaha... but then,it seems like every animal is soooo lazy during summer.. most of the koala bears are also sleeping... ( i dont think i dare go near it if its awake.. haha)
sydney的华人真的不少，如果从上面唐人街的照片看来，似乎都是亚洲人。今年大年初一刚好是礼拜天，唐人街有办活动，整条街都有很多小摊位在卖东西，有卖春联的，有卖吃的，喝的，也有游戏摊位...整条街都是人，走的时候还会被人潮推着走，除了很多中国人，香港人，还有日本人，韩国人，越南人，印尼华侨，印度人，一些洋鬼子...人真的很多！！除此之外，还有舞狮到一些店铺菜青，听到伴随着的鼓声，还有远处传来的鞭炮声，其实很难想象自己是在洋鬼子的地方。哈哈哈。甚至在一个卖新年装饰的摊位听到他们一直持续不断播着的广东新年歌。哈哈...说实在，路上很多人都是说广东话的，悉尼有时候还真像个小香港.
不过很极端的，在唐人街的另外一个方向，就是著名的opera house那边，虽然距离唐人街只是几个路口，驾车基本上不用几分钟的路，根本一点气氛也没有。而且都是一些洋鬼子跟游客.... 靠近opera house 有个只有在weekend才有的The Rock market...就是卖很多土产，自制品，本地手工艺品的地方，那里基本上只有洋鬼子。
