    As everyone knows by now, the OZ Olympics was an unqualified success. Without exception I found the Aussies to be enthusiastic and friendly. Not a tense moment or rude moment the entire time....terribly impressive and monumentally memorable.

    Well if your gay and im not .there is heaps for you to do as Sydney is the Gay capital of Oz .From my point of view Sydney is fast paced not really as friendly as other Australian citys.Restaurants are of world standard,clubs are great but as a rule Sydney people think they are the cream of Australia and can be at times very rude and un helpful towards tourist.That is the only down fall you could have here as there is a fantastic amount of things to do but just remember, this is the most stuck up place in Australia .The place where the idea of the lay back aussie isn't always the case.best comparison would be central london even though it is not as busy.Below is a photo of my friend Audra from new york at Darling Habour this pic was taken in december 1999

    When visiting an R.S.L.club in the evening or an official function, you wil be asked to rise during the recital of the ode. "They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them Nor the years contemn, At the going down of the sun and in the morning W e will remember them. Lest We Forget.

    On Sunday mornings on Kings street in Newtown you can find a man selling religious trinkets outside of a beautiful old Greek church. The gentlemen was more then happy to tell us a little bit about the items he was selling. He showed as pictures of a convent in his home town where the items were made by priests. He was selling many of the evil eye charm which I collect. After we purchased a few small things he invited us inside to take a look around. The walls were covered in gold embossing and there were murals on the ceilings and alter painted in rich blues, reds and yellows. The pews were carved in ornate patterns and there were candles everywhere. It was truly beautiful.

    General Sydney/Aussie Customs: Smoking

  • Smoking is slowly being ostracised in many establishments around Sydney. Restaurants, pubs have started banning cigarettes. Some still allow smoking areas although very limited. You'll see many people smoking on the streets just outside an office building. This is because smoking is now banned in workplaces. If you're a smoker, expect to pay a lot of money for your favourite pasttime. Tobacco products are highly taxed here.

    General Sydney/Aussie Customs: Walking and Crossing the Street

  • Stay on your left side while walking Sydney's busy streets, pedestrian tunnels, escalators etc. Busy people overtake you on your right so don't stand in their way or you'd be shoved aside or shouted at. Try standing in a corner of a sidestreet and you'd be surprised that vehicles would stop and let you cross. Such courteous drivers indeed! Look to your right and then left when you cross the street.

  • Sydney and the whole of Australia, drive on the opposite side of the road compared to America or continental Europe. British or Japanese drivers wouldn't have any problems. Be on the lookout when crossing the streets if your country drives on the other side.
