• Walk through the Southern Hemisphere's largest market

There are two kinds of city's attractions - historical (such as monuments, squares and every kind of architecture) and social - the phenomena which forms the city and its inhabitants. To visit the country and explore the past - a big omission. For example, a large Sydney Fish Market: It was founded in 1945 and is the largest market in the Southern Hemisphere. On a variety of seafood is second only to the Tokyo.

Fish market in Sydney has nothing to do with any hypermarket where people zatarivatsya food for a week, and even more so - with a stinking Asian bazaars. There is no crush and queues, the market is more similar to the fair with the richest assortment and very convenient infrastructure. Of course, you can buy the home, and you can take in the many cafes and slowly try fresh seafood delicacies.

I wanted to show separately the process of "unpacking" of oysters:

In the past they have discovered who as you can, until one clever person invented a special clamp (making it a state):

In fact, nothing special: the oyster is placed in the special clamp is opened and the knife:

Then the place is cut fastening oysters to the sink:
