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!
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....
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!
