Sightseeing through the city: buildings and people

I (Andrew) am still free for another week, so time enough to explore the city. And what can one say about the architecture in Perth? Well, lots of new buildings of course, but they have preserved a few of the earlier buildings from the beginning of the 20th century. Although it's not uncommon to see buildings as above from the Victorian period.

It's a strange mix of all sorts and different shapes of buildings. That also goes for the people living here. Definitely a multi-cultural community. Of course the majority of the recent immigrants come from Asia. But I've seen people from Somalia and South-America. So that doesn't differ much compared to back home. Given that the Asian community is so big, it's only logical that there is a Chinatown. 
That is all of William Street and it's just a hop and a drop (yes, Ozie language) from our place. It's a upcoming street, with trendy cafes, boutiques and loads of Asians restaurants. Looks like the Korean restaurants are leading here, there are many Korean BBQ-restaurants. We still need to explore them.



Tomorrow I'll try to find the markets here in Perth. With this kind of weather surely there must be a outdoor market...??? Until then, I leave you with some more pics of architecture that caught my attention:

Something old, something new........
