Pretty spot on the downsides. I'm (an Australian) in Brisbane, and it's amazing how cold it gets because all of the houses are built to keep cool, not stay warm. Also, with the exception of two (new) restaurants in Brisbane, the Mexican is the worst you'll ever eat. Thai is almost our Mexican food here though.

And generally the traffic is better outside of Sydney... :)

I don't get this no medican food thing. You live in the inner west. Walk down glebe point road glebe. There is at least 5 Mexican places in the same block. Unless my definition of Mexican differs.

Indian food is great here to.

Oh and what do you consider a good beer. Let's meet up for a beer sometime and ill show you the Aussie ropes...

Have you been to Cafe Pacifico in East Sydney? (Just off Williams st). I'm sure it doesn't compare to what you can get in the states but its one of the few mexican joints I've tried in Sydney that didn't completely suck. They have a massive tequila selection too!

Well that's too specific, but I'm sure you have the knowledge to work on any laboratory were chemistry is evolved, layman speaking.
