The beautiful nature

If I did not chose to come to Switzerland for my studies, I would miss out a lot..

One of the things that I enjoyed a lot when I was in Swiss was the beautiful natural environment. Whenever I got so stress and exhausted from the school works, I would just look out from the window and enjoy the beautiful scenery . The photo below is one of my facourite.

View from the Swiss Hotel Management School (Mont-Blanc - Leysin Campus)...clouds at the eye level.

Looking outside from the windows, apart from the alps and the little houses in swiss, you can just see the clouds just a bit below the eye level. I would of never imagine I would live on the same levels as the clouds.

Sydney -- The multicultural place & the variety of FOOD ;)

It has already been 2 weeks since I came back to Sydney..

I have never thought that Sydney is such a multicultural place until I went to live in Swiss and China. Food are one of the things that I miss the most when I was out of Sydney & HK. In Switzerland especially in the area where I live I can mainly eat Cheese, western food restaurants (Eg. Davinda, The Train Station, Top Pub) or the only one Japanese restaurant called (One World, place has no fresh sushimi). Well if I am really desperate in asian food, I could always go to the western food restaurant for some "Chinese/ Japanese food" cooked by European chef. It's Chinese food but it does not taste the same as the local Chinese food. Oh well..guess its because i was in Switzerland..that's why i could not expect much. Even when I caught a train from Leysin to Aigle or Montreux, the food in the Chinese food restaurant just does not taste the same. Moreover, I could not find a vietnamese or a korean restaurant in Swiss.

After I finished my master degree in Swiss, I went to Beijing for a language for 1 month then Hangzhou for a management training internship for 6 months. In comparison with Swiss, China has much more variety restaurants. However, I was surprised the fact that the food in HK restaurant taste different from the local food in HK. while I thought they will have the food ingredients and the chefs, for some unknown reason the HK food in China just did not satisfied me.

The HK style fried noodles in Hangzhou HK restaurant. perhaps its the type of noodle that they used made the difference.

When I arrived HK, I was so happy the fact that I can finally enjoy the local HK food also some other asian food :) However, when I reached to Sydney, I realised that there are some asian food that sells in Australia but not in HK. For example, the Vietnamese Pork Roll and I realised that there's not much middle east food sells in HK tho such as Chicken serve with a bread, veggies and garlic sauce.

Chicken with delicious Garlic sauce, potato chips, salad and bread ;) Delicious!

Surprisingly a western foreign serve a lot of different kinds of food. Perhaps because Australia is a multicultural place where migrants come from everywhere in the world and some of them just decided to stay in the same suburb which causes they have variety kinds of food.  For example, Strathfield has lots of Korean restaurant because there are a lot of korean living there. Therefore, to attract the local, they have to make the korean food taste like as authentic as possible.
