Might have faced towards Cavenaugh.  I think, sounds right.  But you couldnt
see Cavenaugh from it. If I try to place it now, I'd say the southwest had the
fishing store, the northwest-east boundry of the 2 main parallel drags were on
either side, theith the mall north of the place.  (I have to reverse engnerr
as my pea-brain always insists I start at the south end of anyplace walking
from the port and all is directioned based on that but am aware I was actially
at the 'north end' and walking south).

 GJ> doubt the Thai place, Hanuman, on the other side of the mall, near the
 GJ> sushi bar.  A bit expensive, but not bad for the quality.

 CS> You've mentioned that one before and i have the name stored away <g>. 
 CS> Shoild i get to Darwin again, I will try to find it.  I dont recall any
 CS> sushi bars, but then when you live in Japan, you tend to ignore Japan

 CS> To me, eating at a sushi bar in Darwin would be like a USA person
 CS> eating at McDonalds in Singapore.  Umm, sorry, no.

GJ> Quite right, too!  Or an Australian going to an Outback restaurant in
GJ> Singapore or Los Angeles, except out of morbid curiosity.

Yeah, like it's either not up to snuff, or something you can get at home so not
so special.

Outbacks to me are decent, but I know several steak places back in my old
stomping grounds that are better or as good, and cheaper.  In Japan, I can get
plenty of the 'good stuff' we make here so avoid those sorts of places
elsewhere though once I move from here, I'll be interested in checking them
out again.

Dnt get me too wrong though, I've eaten at McDonalds out in Asia besides my
local one in the Ginza.  Sometimes, its a good spot to wait for your friends
to gather.  Shimoda Japan for example. It's right there at the dock where they
drop you off from the liberty launch (There's a starbucks near that too if I
recall right).
