3 days in Sydney (shopping, exploring and eating in the CBD) 🍜

We're officially in Sydney! We just got here. We're going to be here for the next like three, three and a half days and we're solely staying in the CBD. So this is like everything I get up to in the Sydney city. The fact that I used to live here all of last year, that is so funny to me, we talk about all the time, like remember the time we lived in Sydney? Like it does not feel real. It's so funny. But I'm excited to be back. I'm actually here with my parents. So we're having a little parent and daughter trip, although I literally just tagged along. I was like, you guys are going to Sydney? I'm coming too. So now I'm in Sydney. They have a wedding to attend to and I'm just here for the vibe. You ready mum? We're going. So the hotel we're at is actually located right next to the Darling Harbour, which is this side. We're going to have dinner there later. But right now we're going to head this way because that right there is where the shopping is. There's a pitch street mall. Look at the Christmas tree. Guys, this is the bottom of the Christmas tree and it goes four stories up. It looks like it's floating. Okay, I lost my parents, but we're going to meet at the Darling Harbour now. I think we're going to have dinner and the sun is setting. I forgot how busy Sydney is. You forgot? So many people. Always. I love it. Actually a party on a boat and we're just walking down this way. This is the other side of the Darling Harbour. What does that say everyone? It says... It's Goosey! Alright, let's go. It was 41 degrees yesterday and now it's raining, but it's fine. We're back at the Darling Harbour, but we're going to head this way to Steam Mill Lane. So that little precinct there is actually the Chinese Friendship Garden. If you're looking for something just zen and cute in the middle of the city, that's your place, but this is Darling Square and we're going to have breakfast here. This infrastructure is so cool. It's like nest-like and it wraps around. There's people there. I don't know why I'm so drawn to the street even when I used to live here. It's just so cute. It's got all these random little eateries everywhere. It's a Sunday morning right now. Nothing seems to be open, but I know that this place is. It's called Edition Coffee Roses. I got a banana bread. They have this Japanese souffle pancake. Oh my gosh. You need to get it. I was too young. I was like 19. It's like lemon. Takeaway coffee. Parents have a wedding today, so we're doing some solo exploring. Right now, we're going to Paddy's Market. Since we only have 48, like 72 hours here, there are only four main places that I feel like I wanted to visit here in the CBD. Yesterday, we did the Darling Harbor. We also went to the Pitt Street Mall, QVB, the main shopping strip. Now, we're visiting Haymarket. This is the Chinatown of Sydney. Then, we're going to go to the Quay, which is the very touristic part of Sydney as well. We've come to Market City, Paddy's Market. I don't know what it's called. I think it's Paddy's Market. I literally came here all the time when I lived in Sydney. I don't know why. I love it. I'm actually here to get some accessories. These glasses that I'm wearing on my head, I bought them here. I want to get some more. Also, I'm going to be in Korea, guys, in one month. I'm going to be in Seoul and Busan. It's winter. I need just some accessories, like some scarves. I think I can get some. Look at these glasses. Wait. Thank you. Have a good day. Guys, 10 minutes in and I just bought four glasses. This next spot is so funny that I'm going by myself. You'll see. You'll see what I'm talking about. I'm excited. We just came from over there. That's where Chinatown is, Haymarket. That's World Square. Down here, if you keep walking down, is actually the QBB. It's all pretty connected. I'm going to go and stop by this place first. You'll see. This is a photograph and coin carrying place. I'm literally by myself. I'm going to take some selfies. Okay, I've taken my photos. All solo. And you get to choose, I think, four because this is the frame I picked. I don't know. I love this one. That's so funny. We're going to sing karaoke by ourselves. This is full solo mode. It's so, so funny. In. Good. What do I do? Hello. How do you press play? Play? Oh, it's easy. One thing I say, me and Atta say, whenever we're travelling is, like, for research purposes. And this is one of those things. I did this for research purposes so I can, like, show people, you can do this too. And it's fun. Definitely would have been fun with more people. We're just going to walk out like I wasn't just singing karaoke by myself. Everywhere we walked today felt like it was only a 10 to 15 minute stop each way. So even though I've been walking for, like, an hour because I stopped along the way. So I'd walk to the Paddy's Market, that's 10 minutes. Then I walk to George Street, that's another 10 minutes. Then I walk to QBB, it's another 10 minutes. It feels a lot shorter. So, yeah. I'm back at the hotel now to drop my stuff. All the glasses I got, including these ones on my head. But I got these all at the market. Each one were, like, $10. And then I even got a deal. So five glasses for $45 altogether. That's what they look like. Love, love, love, love. Paddy's Market. And then I got three scarves. Different colours for my trip to Korea, like I said. I feel like I'm going to be rotating a lot of my clothing. Because I'm not going to try, I'm just going to try not to bring too much clothing. And so sometimes the only way to differentiate outfits is to use accessories. That's what I did for my Europe trip. I literally rotated the same four pieces of clothing. And it was amazing, I swear. It looked like I had a different outfit each time, kind of. And it's because I had a whole bunch of hats, different gloves, different glasses, that differentiated each outfit. I got this cream one. This was $15, which is amazing. Brown. I wasn't expecting to get brown, but it's cute. And green. I was looking for blue. I couldn't find a good blue, so I opted for green. Because I do want a bit of clothing. This one's very blanket vibes as well. Okay, I've got to go. Enough shopping. We've got to go. We're going to the key area, the rocks. And that's a big walk, actually. That's a good 30 minute walk. The flyer was undone. Let's go! So we are now back at the Darling Harbour. Except we are on the opposite side than we were yesterday. We're actually going to be taking the Rangaroo foreshore walk. One thing about Sydney, because it's a coastal city, it has such beautiful foreshore walks. And it's by the water, and it's just really nice. We made it under the Harbour Bridge! And then the Opera House is right there. Alright, let's head to the key area. That took a good 30-40 minutes, I would say. That's not too long at all. So we came from over there. We literally walked the coast around that way. We are now at Key. This is the key area. One thing you can do is the museum or catch a ferry. Catch a ferry. That's good. But we're going to head to the rocks this way. Come to a place called Tea Cozy. It literally feels like I'm in a fairy garden. I needed to take a break because I am exhausted from that look. But this is the perfect spot for people watching. The hotel room is a mess. Don't mind it, but I just freshened up. I put this top on because I'm going to go have dinner with my sister-in-law. We're heading to Newtown. I won't be vlogging. But yeah, Newtown is it. If you're looking for a place to eat, it's the biggest foodie place. I've been there multiple times. Good food records over there. See you tomorrow. Having lunch at The Crown. We are meeting with some family friends. I'm excited. I'm so hungry. But we walked past this yesterday. This is the Barangaroo Walkie. You know when you eat too much and then you get really tired? Because that is us. We are so tired. We even went back to the hotel room and had a little nap. But I said, let's get up. Let's go. It's our last night in Sydney. How cool was that dinner that was at The Crown? I forget what it's called. We're just walking along the coast so that we can be by the water. And then we'll find the Opera House. Is that moving? Yeah, the clouds are moving. The Sydney Opera House right now is super busy. Guy Sebastian is actually performing today. And apparently last week Daniel Caesar performed. Guys, mum and dad are having dinner separately. So we're going to go out to eat. That was so fast. I'm going to try to go to Thai Town. I'm fully changed into my trackies and no makeup because I'm so tired. But so hungry. It's like 8pm now. Thank you. Have a good night. You too. Guys, that is George Street. 9.30pm on a Monday night. Do you know how wild that is? Also, I got the best cookies ever. So I am obsessed with these cookies. They do not deliver to Adelaide. Only to Eastern States. And so when I saw it... Also, why is everything open? Everything is open. It is bustling in Sydney. So Latao is like a Japanese cheesecake shop, I believe. And they sell these cookies which are insane. My brother introduced me to these and I've been obsessed ever since. But I haven't tried their tarts before. That's delicious. And I assume they would have made this earlier. Surely. The cookie. This is like a high tea cookie. Like something you have with a tea or a coffee. It's the lightest biscuit ever. And it's got a cream cheese filling inside. It's like a perfect combination of sweet and savoury. When I tell you I had the most hectic morning. Tell me why I thought Archer's plane went missing. Anyways, that was my morning. Stressed, woke up so early. I just went to a little bakery, as you guys saw. It's called The Grumpy Baker. So cute. But now I'm actually going to go to where we work. It's our last day. And I feel like just sitting somewhere doing some work.
