I actually got a magnetic bookmark from there which has almost the exact same shot of the pagoda on it too... and I like that you can see the carp under the water in the other shot.
I don't think I mentioned it at the time, but those carp were freakin insane! They'd swim around all sedate and lovely like you expect carp in a Chinese garden to do... then suddenly it was like they were staging a production of West Side Story, and there seemed to be little fish gangs and a lot of rushing backwards and forwards and swarming and swimming in big packs... and then they decided to start jumping out of the water for no apparent reason... very odd.

i love the chinese culture in the city. especially the food around chinatown.
Stupidly I've never been, well not properly... I've sort of passed through without really taking anything in. I must go and visit properly when I get back to Sydney.
Typical that it takes a tourist to point things out in my own city! :P
We never managed to make it as far as Chinatown... we went through it though, on the monorail, and I think we might have gone past it a couple of times on the Explorer bus...
It's totally worth the $8 admission Tom... take a book or an iPod or something, find a quiet spot and just soak it all up.
