My observations on Sydney thus far...

Men really like skinny jeans...a lot.
They don't have pennies so you lose money from rounding.
People inexplicably give us the wrong change regularly so we lose even more money.
Women are well dressed - no Lulu pants or TNA sweaters in sight.
Most things are 50-100% more expensive here than they are back home.
A very high percentage of retail space is dedicated to food.
There are lots of cafes that specialize in chocolates.
Meat pies are everywhere.
Lots of restaurants have the same menu but charge different prices throughout the day and week (i.e. weekend surcharge).

I was going to say that having a lot of retail space dedicated to food isn't a bad thing...but when it's not necessarily healthy food (meat pies and chocolate?), nor cheap food, then maybe it's not so good for it to be so accessible.

Best trip food-wise was to Japan...cheap, innovative, and mostly healthy!

(please note that I said "mostly"...hehehe)
