23/04/2006: "SYDNEY'S BLUE SKY"

I arrived in Sydney this week to experience a blue autumn sky and fresh clean city air.

What a contrast to the last 30 days in cloudy mountainous Taiwan, especially in Sydney's Chinatown, (where I had a couple of hours wait before departing for home).

I now see as this Haymarket area as an elite little village of well-dressed and happy young Chinese people who probably realise how lucky they are.

The same can't be said for local Australian's on the train north. A bunch a white trash if ever there was.

Don't travel by NSW rail if this can be avoided. Security was OK with a pair of guards patrolling carriages. The sale of alcohol aboard could be reconsidered.

Nine hours on a train on top of the flight from Taiwan was a mistake.
