There's a whole lot of wild birds such as storks and especially seagulls, who have migrated from the shores into cities to enjoy what humans eat. It's not uncommon to see those greedy seagulls sauntering around you while you sit down at a bench to eat...so here's one of them who stood close to me while I was eating at a bench:I was quite fortunate to catch sight of a vintage-looking Rolls Royce which was used as a wedding car that was driven by one of the best men who stopped infront of me while I was crossing a minor road.
It's winter here so the sun sets much earlier; furthermore this is my first time visiting a 4 season country and in the coolest season of the year. That was what I came exactly here for and I love this temperature so far. There's even a Korean street near Pitt Street where they sell all sorts of Korean merchandise from food to personal use items; definitely there's a considerable population of Koreans living in this city. It's also quite surprising to see beggars at corner of streets holding signboards, kneeling for hours who are able-bodied.
Alright, dinner time. No Burger Kings, but they call it "Hungry Jacks" so here's my fill for the night. It's quite a enjoyable to sit quietly eating, watching people go by at the window seats and you don't get people disturbing you though there's quite a bunch of youngsters who haunt this place for the cinemas and other entertainments. The typical western city life look.
Queen Victoria's Building is filled with boutiques which cater to those who like fine attires. However, shops are already closed when I arrive here after dinner. Shops close at 5:30pm here so it's not unusual that you can't get anything after those hours. If you're lucky, you can find a convenience stall that runs later into the night.
Considering the cold climate, eateries have a heat tower which keeps patrons warm so it can be seen around town like this. Here's Chinatown which I have to explore some day later as it's time to get back for the day.
