Southern Hemisphere
I got the chance to leave for work to Australia. Now that good weather had settled in in Rome, I didn’t think there would be much of a weather change, but it’s the scenery change that really works for me. I am spending most of my time with no ocean view, in meetings, indoors. But when I have a moment on the weekend, I will find my own way to Sydney to have a quick bite in its fabulous cafes, and sit and enjoy the sun.
I used to be surprised when Australians were nonplussed about Italian food. Then when I visited, I could see why! Bakeries like Bourke Street Bakery, restaurants like Longrain or Phamish, or cafes like Bill’s or Cafe Giulia just don’t seem to abound here. The vibrant Italo-Australian community makes sure that Italian food is great and not underrepresented, and the Asian is the best outside of Asia.
