Melting Pot or Salad Bowl

At last I have some kind of internet access and so i can post something about my first week in sydney. In fact i wasn't really jetlagged and so i could enjoy my first weekend in sydney straight away. I went down into the city and went up the Sydney tour which guarantees you a magnificent view over sydney.




Afterwards, I went down to the Opera, which is in fact a real masterpiece of reinforced concrete, and stayed there for a while just enjoying the nice view back to the city and the harbor bridge.



Sydney appears like a very nice fusion of old and new, european, asian and american influence and the people here are extremely friendly and helpful. The combination of old and new architecture works out much better here than in London..

My first night out in sydney started with an indian restaurant near the uni in Randwick (delicious) and then we went to the Sydney Opera Bar, which is definitely a place to be. It is just wonderful to enjoy a cool drink while looking at the opera and harbor bridge. I also met Andrew and his pimped :-) colleagues there. As it turned out, they are all very nice, which was a bit unexpected for the new stars of the business world..
Well, finally I went up to andrew's office. Deutsche Bank tower, 22nd floor, view to the opera. Thank you - good night.

More soon from the melting pot..
