After dropping off all the stuff I excitedly bought at the duty-free shop at the hotel, I finally feel like I can breathe. Looking at my luggage, you'd think I was a traveling merchant. Maybe I shouldn't have bought so much...

The only reason I wasn't bored on this business trip and could enjoy every single day was all thanks to Yongwan hanging out with me. I owed him a lot, so I decided to treat him to a fancy dinner before I left. Plus, I really wanted to show him around my hotel before heading out. Seriously, this hotel is so good!

Bar and tables inside a spacious, illuminated restaurant — I've seriously never been in a hotel like this before...

High-rise buildings and flags viewed from an illuminated bridge at night — The Sydney night view from Pyrmont Bridge. It used to be a really crowded bridge with trams, but they got rid of all that with a "music" concept. Instead, they turned it into a moody bridge with music flowing through it.

Two large transparent whale skeleton models hanging from the ceiling — The whale inside Cockle Bay Wharf. He kept saying he'd show me a whale since we left, and I had no idea what he meant, but it's a taxidermy whale. The bones inside are actual whale bones.

I'm Angus

Black menu showing various wine types and prices — The menu. The prices are quite high. For two people having steak and a glass of wine, it easily goes over 100,000 KRW. If you have the budget, I highly recommend getting wine with your meal. Not just for the atmosphere, but because this is one of those places where the meat and wine pair perfectly together.

Two glasses of red wine and a water glass on a wooden table — The wine came out first, so I took a little sip. Listening to the explanation and comparing the two glasses, I could definitely taste the difference. The problem is, I have no idea what wine I drank.

Plate of steak and a glass of red wine on a wooden table — Just like Didier Drogba stopped a civil war, I feel like this steak and wine could stop a war too. It's seriously delicious.

The price is so high it almost feels ridiculous. But the catch is that it's also ridiculously delicious. It's amazing how they cooked the meat exactly to my liking. It looked a bit burnt on the outside, but when I took a bite, the juices just exploded. Plus, it's my first time having red wine this good. It wasn't even that expensive of a wine, but eating it with the steak made it taste so sweet. Honestly, it's so good that it makes me want to live in Sydney just so I can eat this every day.

One Last Beer

We ate like crazy, so we had some time left over. I wanted to chat more, and since it was my last night and I didn't know when I'd see him again, we decided to grab one more beer. We just walked around and went into a random place without even knowing the name, but it was just nice. No matter where you travel, it seems like the most fun—and paradoxically, the day you least want to leave—is the night right before you head back. I went through some trouble here and there, but I had a really great time.
