Manly: Our First Australian Home

During our orientation into Australian Society, my company put us up in Manly for a week while I worked in nearby Frenchs Forest.

Although my wife Sarah had more opportunity to see Manly during the day, I would definitely like to share my experiences with Manly on the weekends and evenings!

    Very good tips, especially on restaurants. Australian cities and towns are somewhat similar to those, I saw in the USA, right?

    Great tips and photos. Did you really expect the toilet tissue to be soft in a place called Manly?

    This page is proof that life isn't fair. How can Sarah eat all that ice cream and stay so slender? Another interesting page.

    Sounds like you're discovering all the little quirky differences between there and here... fried spring rolls, hard toilet paper, etc.! One of these years I MUST check out the half of the world south of the equator!

    Nice job. Tapas are SUPPOSED to be small portions. They're bar snacks, after all.

    Don't worry those Aussies will toughen you up - complaining about the hard toilet paper indeed! ;-)
