Eastwood is a lovely village 30 minutes northwest of the Sydney CBD. It has a very far east asian feel- loads of markets, friendly people, family owned businesses, traditional restaurants etc. The main mall area is bustling with life and has many community events like outdoor cinema and Taiwanese night markets. It has an incredible smell of bbq every night which envelopes the whole mall, wetting your appetite and inspires you to go do some shopping at the local butcher (well one of the MANY) to cook up a storm at home.

On the other side of the train line is the Korean side, which is also a marvel- playing host to numerous Korean restaurants, grocery stores and late night coffee shops. It has a bustling- family friendly night life that is inclusive and vibrant. The sort of night life you would find in Asia. Grab a matcha, or tuck into some late night Korean bbq, its the sort of late night culture that is void of the seediness that has destroyed the Sydney CBD.
