Sydney - Staying there - Post 2

There we were...
To get to Sydney Central, all you need to do is to buy the train tickets from the airport.
It's pretty convenient - just that it's really expensive (i think it was $18) for a 10 min ride :)

When I checked in there, pretty shocking that it was mostly populated by young people, as in... those below 20...................

I never felt so old before... Probably i should opt for YHA or some other cheap hotels :)

We asked for a 4-bedded dorm, but ended up, there was no all-female dorm.
It was shocking when I opened up the door and saw men inside!

Then again, we requested until we got ourselves an all-female dorm.
(pretty an experience especially if we are traveling alone)

It's interesting seeing different room mates every night, all over from different countries, and I was surprised how 'quiet' they were during the night. In fact, it was too quiet that they weren't even back home!

Took this when there were no-one in the dorm :)

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
