Today, with a great deal of pleasure (fancy, I know..), I’d like to introduce to you my second favourite district in Sydney (after the Rocks<\/a> ) which is\u2026 toum toum..<\/p>\n

Paddington !<\/h1>\n

Oulala!<\/em>
\nBetween the cute handicraft shops, art galleries or nice places where you can share a drink, you will undoubtedly find something to please yourself.
\nPaddington is an inner-district: in terms of distance it is very close from the skyscrapers and from the \u201cAustralian Times Square\u201d (yeah man, we have our own shopping sanctuary here). However when you are walking around Paddington, you don\u2019t feel the hustle and bustle of daily life in Sydney. There are not that many cars, building height is quite low and you won\u2019t find giant shopping mall. In short, it is like a remote village within a global city.<\/p>\n

What this kind of place tells me is that I could live into a big city (and it is probably going to be the case because at some point, urban sprawl won’t be a possible scenario at all. This was engaged geography minute)<\/p>\n

…I could live in\u00a0 provided that it doesn\u2019t look like a big city. This is where green infrastructure and others ways which try to make big-city-life better, come in.<\/p>\n

Lucy, when I come back, we will be able to sing right. I finally looked up the real lyrics, not the one we used to sing in yahourt<\/a>:
\n\u201cBig City Life, try forget by<\/em>
\n Pressure nah ease up no matter how hard me try<\/em>
\n Big City Life, my heart have no base<\/em>
\n And right now Babylon deep on me case<\/em>
\n People in a show, all lined in a row<\/em>
\n We just push on by, it’s funny, how hard we try<\/em>
\n Take a moment to relax, before you do anything rash<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
