The Year of the Rat


Over the past week, we have become more acquainted with Chinatown. We caught the end of the Chinese New Year Parade about a week ago. After the parade, there was a performance of that followed the history of China.


We then tried to keep in the Chinese spirit and headed towards Chinatown for some Chinese food. Every Chinese restaurant was packed, so we settled for sushi instead...strictly due to proximity, not because we think that Japan and China are the same! We have truly gotten our fill of sushi while in Sydney. The fresh seafood and large amount of Asian immigrants have assured that we have sushi at least once each week.
