To finish off the night I'd take a taxi to beachside Manly, take in the surf, sand and tall pine trees, and have a gelato at Gelatissimo, on Manly Wharf, tel: (61-2) 9976 6199.

...through the complex. Zhu Linzhen, 40, stands with her son, fighting to maintain her spot. "We have nothing," she says. The camp isn't bad, she says, but "I don't do anything all day." Above the entry gate is a red sign with white characters about 10 feet tall that reads, "The people of the disaster zone thank the Communist Party...
