A lovely dinner at Nobu Melbourne with the folks.

Gone Shopping...in Honkers!
18-22 Oct 2007.
I was on a mission. I had 4 days in HK. The purpose was to shop like crazy...oh and also eat and go out. I won't bore you with what I bought but the shopping was sensational as always.
Here are some of the highlights:
The best Brekky: Macaroni soup noodles with Beef (no chopstick skills required as you get a fork and spoon to eat those slippery little suckers!). All this time, I thought this was a dish that was invented by my grandma & mum. But this trip to HK, I learnt that it is actually a dish served in the local noodle houses for breakfast!
Met up with Longy and his mate Quin for drinks in Causeway bay. It was nice to go to a bar where locals hang out. This polaroid pic was a gift from a Halloween promotion they were doing that night. You know how Honkies love taking photos! There was a girl sitting at the table next to us. She managed to trip over twice within the space of 5 minutes (must have been a cadbury drinker!). I also learnt about the 4 types of HK girls, MK (Mongkok tri-hards), CWB (Causeway Bay hotties), Central (i.e. trophy wife types) & New Territories (farming country bumpkins). Hilarious stuff!
Mission accomplished!
P.S. I have become a total travel snob! There was no 'on-demand' inflight entertainment on the flight. Not happy, Jan!

Melbourne - the place to be!
Melbourne...a place I call home!...and one of the few places in the world that serve Chicken Parmas.
I've been back for a little over a week now. It feels as though I never went away and that Melbourne has been stuck in some sort of weird time warp! Not alot has changed in 5 months. But a few things have changed...so here's a short summary:
-you now have to pay for meter parking until 7.30pm (previously 6.30pm)
-Chaddy is being extended again (although this probably started before I left)
-Nobu opened at Crown
-Bracksy resigned
Other than that, Melbourne feels like a small village compared to London.
Oh, and the weather has been quite cold, wet and miserable in Melbourne but I'll whinge about that another time!
