Went to city again...

Went to city again yesterday, had lunch at azuma. Planned to go to another restaurant which we have not visited before but it was fully booked. Tak asked amex centurion desk to book the table, very good service from Japanese centurion desk they even called in the evening to make sure if everything was okay. Tak had Australian centurion before, but their service was... or I should say is 'not so good'. Had bad experience with Australian centurion desk, made enquiry and the staff promised to call back but they did not.

Lunch at azuma was good except little disappointment with their tempura. It was first time for me to take photos of dishes at the restaurant, felt awkward especially we were surrounded by business persons (those in suit and tie). As usually, we were kepo about guys sitting next to us. After we saw one of them paid by amex centurion we started to wonder what is his job... bla... bla.. we were last customers leave the restaurant.

After makan we went to circular quay... AGAIN since the restaurant is located near to the circular quay. Actually I wanted to go there just to play with the new camera, still learning to use the camera as it is made for. Have been using the camera with its auto setting... want to learn more about the features available. When we were somewhere around the opera house, a girl approached me "anyonghasay-o" she said. I knew what she said but I didn't know how to reply. Told her I don't speak Korean. She replied "I thought you are Korean" in broken English. Then Tak asked if she need someone to take photo for her and her partner. Heard her talking to her partner in Mandarin, so I talked to them in Mandarin as well. Learned a little about her, she is Chinese but educated in Korea.
