Walking in Circles...

I just got back from eating out with family and Canadian relatives at Sydney Tower (AKA Centrepoint) buffet- the view there is amazing!!! Its a pretty cool restaurant- 88 floors above the ground.

The coolest thing about it was that it rotated slowly while you ate so that you could see the entire city landscape ot the massive windows. The buffet area stayed stationary- only the table and chairs moved but not too quickly that you got dizzy and threw up everything you just ate. The entire room was circular so you got a 360 degree view of the city while eating teriyaki chicken, singapore stir fry noodle, mushroom tortellini etc.

The only bad thing was that as the buffet was in the centre of the circle (i.e. the axis of rotation) it didn't move, so if you went to get food, by the time you got back, your table would be about 3 metres away from it's original position. I got lost and ended up walking in an entire circle before I found my table again. -.-''

Another bad thing was that there was only one elevator working (instead of three) so it took us about half an hour to get to our table- which was right next to a window. You can actually see everything from Centrepoint- Sydney, believe it or not, is actually quite nice looking at night, but not as pretty as Tokyo or Bangkok.

Another cool thing that happened was that while we were eating, there were fireworks right outside the window which we had be spun to which was really convenient. I took a few photos but they're really dodgy cos I took them using my phone:

If you squint, its the QVB at night
