When I travel, I always hope to take in a little of the
local flavor. I have been here and week and I am not at all sure what the local
flavor might be here in Australia. I have yet to see something calling itself
an Australian restaurant.
In the area of the hotel there is no dearth of restaurants.
There is a McDonald's, a KFC, a Dominos, and a Subway. None of which could be
categorized as Australian fare; though here the McDonald's does serve a few
Asian selections that they do not serve at home.
Apart from that, there are a half-dozen Chinese restaurants,
a handful of Vietnamese places, some noodle shops, two steak places, a chicken
place, an Italian place, and an assortment of coffee shops and bakeries. There
is no shortage of places to go for a meal.
Heck, even the hotel (which isn't all that large, if it has
a hundred rooms, I would be surprised), has a three different restaurants on
the grounds. It also has a casino, though, so apparently this
IS the nightlife here in Canberra.
When the weekend comes, in addition to getting out of town
for a bit, I also plan to spend a day in town. I have been looking at brochures
of places in town that look like interesting candidates for places to visit on
the weekend. But for now, it is time to head down and have a bite to eat before
work.
Wherever you are today, I hope that you will have the
opportunity to enjoy the local flavor!
