Travel Notes

Potts Point is not as flash a place as it sounds. It is next to Kings Cross.

Don’t go to any Thai restaurants in the cross and expect to pay with EFTPOS or credit card – they all only take cash.

It is sad seeing how young the hookers are in the cross.

A 2 star hotel is rated that way for very good reasons – cheap and very basic – however it was clean.

Business class on a plane is much nicer than economy – but they still give you a dodgy plastic knife.
