...found this lack of privacy frustrating. But after a couple of months here, I began to realize that I was willing to sacrifice secrecy to achieve my real goal: campus-wide fame. I longed to be one of the select few whose names peppered dining hall conversation and lit up the pages of the Crimson. With all this gossip and openness, it would be pretty easy to make a name for myself… right?Luckily, I had my trusty Salada teabags to help me out.

Then I'd stroll along Circular Quay, where the ferries dock, to the Opera House. The brightly lit water traffic against the backdrop of the city lights is a mesmerizing sight. For pre-dinner drinks, my pick would be the waterside Opera Bar, tel: (61-2) 9247 1666, tucked below the white sails of the Opera House. A short walk away and with equally stunning views is Aria...
