Miso Soup and Sushi

After getting to my internship bright and early and working some modeling magic on excel while sifting through financial statements, I was invited to Sushi Tei (a Japanese Restaurant) for lunch courtesy of the company credit card. 

 
(Sushi Tei, Sydney)

I got to take full advantage of enjoying what was easily the best sushi of my life; and tried everything from an eel roll to octopus, squid, salmon, tofu (underrated food), and tuna...but that was only the appetizer. The meal included miso soup which tasted similar to french onion soup, but you added anything you wanted to it as you cook it at your table your own way and can toss this unbelievably amazing beef, noodles, vegetables, and even an egg among other things. While Sydney itself is not cheap, lobster is as a delicacy is taken to the next level as its so rare it sells for over $100 per pound (at least at this place).

Since tipping is not used normally at all in Australia, the service is much different and the table had a button which you pushed if you wanted something, definitely different than American style restaurants. After wrapping up an amazing lunch (which makes me hungry to think about) I was able to meet an executive in the hedge fund industry at his office which overlooked the city of Sydney and the Opera House itself. I finished off the day by getting in some boxing and conditioning at the gym where the club trains.

Overall not a bad day.
