O.K, let�s go down town. The city centre is compact. A network of futuristic walkways straddles streets and tunnels through buildings, linking transportation terminals, shopping arcades, predestrian precincts and civic plazas. One really popular shopping place (and perhaps to make British folks feel homesick) is the mock-Tudor arcade known as London Court, built in 1937 and runs between the Hay Street Mall and St. George�s Terrace. One thing that tells you that it�s not London is its 40 degrees Celcius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) air temperature in January, mate! You should be freezing in London in that month. Actually, London Court was built to mock Tudor kitsch whose curiosities include a clock tower at each end: one a replica of Big Ben in London, the other of the Gros Horloge in Rouen, France.
