Visiting Sydney

In my humble opinion, now, as in late February and early March, is probably the best time of the year to visit Sydney. Or to put it more broadly, the tail-end of summer and beginning of autumn.

Temperatures are comfortable at the mid or low-20s, conditions are balmy, air is not overly dry yet. It hasn't gotten rainy yet as it often does in winter. And it is also not overly sunny (and hot!) as it can be in summer.

The houseflies have mostly gone into hibernation again so you don't have to learn the Australian wave. The moths do not appear until October, mid-spring. The cockroaches have also miraculously disappeared until next spring.

It's also the schooling days again, both in Sydney and in Singapore. So air tickets should be cheaper and readily available, hotel rooms are easier to book, etc. There won't be those huge crowds at the tourists spots as well.

Yes, if you really wish to visit Sydney, probably now is the best time. If you really really really really wish to visit Sydney, that is.

P.S. And this brings to an end my stint of guest blogging. Normal service should resume tomorrow.
