There was a gap in the clouds and this huge yellow ball appeared in the sky! It stayed there for about 5 minutes, but luckily the clouds came over again, and now it’s raining.
It was terrifying while it lasted!
or did Tina do it better on Countdown?
idk, i think i like the first more upbeat one, but either way, I still can’t stand the rain…
I took some time to explore OpenStreetMap recently, getting a stronger idea of where different places in the city are and how they relate to each other. While you can filter out layers or use an app to get a simple and pretty view like other maps, I find it’s useful to look around for something unexpected, right-click on it and query features.
I also learned where Thai Town and Koreatown are, any other historical Towns in the city beyond Chinatown?
Haha.I did some mapping of street names for OSM many moons ago…
i don’t think so. Sydney is huge and various communities are widely scattered. Sometimes a suburb might be associated with a community, but that also changes over time.
You can also try searching (in search engine, OSM search is very basic) for a country and adding 'club sydney" at the end. There are some active social clubs. Some also have restaurants serving authentic/traditional food, eg Austrian club, but most are not in the city bounds.
Good tip! I had a nice time at the Gaelic Club in Surry Hills with an Irish mate recently (it’s stone throw from Central) but I haven’t been to other ones yet.
Hopefully the sun starts to appear as the week progresses! At least the summer heat seems to be vanishing!
sydbot on the job!
