Down Under....Part 2...Some interesting things...

As usual...during my trip, I noticed some interesting things here and there and had some adventure.....

Firstly, as you can tell from my previous post that I ate A LOT! So many different kinds of food! Well...my auntie had a friend in Sydney who brought us around in her little red ol' station wagon and it was kinda old....we had a flat tyre after dinner and drinks one nite! Yup....tyre kenna 'pung che'! Hee hee....but it was not my fault! I was on the other side of the car so it wasn't me! :P

Had dinner at this Australian BBQ place and they had rather interesting toilet signs.... Here's the mens' sign...

And here's the ladies' sign...

And you can see that the ladies are always a step 'above' the men in all areas! heehee... :)

There was an interesting menu at one of the cafes we went to for desserts....check out the Babycino item...

..... An extra mug is half the price? Means what? Buy 1 and get 50% off the next? Or you have to pay an extra $1 if you want to share the already small Babycino? Don't get it.... And what is an Affagatto? Sounds like 'I-forgot-to' something! :P

And this I thought was really funny.... At the parking lot in this casino.....discrimination against big cars??
I also surprised myself by having alcohol on this trip....I guess it's cos the weather was cold... :P

Here's my first pint of lager...


And my second and third....this beer was pretty nice...


We also went to a few interesting restaurants for dinner where there were live entertainment.... We went to this Spanish restaurant that had a disco on the 1st level, food and spanish dancing on the 2nd and Salsa classes on the 3rd...quite an interesting place actually... Caught the dancers performing on this little tiny wooden stage where they were majorly stamping their feet!

When we were at the Lebanese restaurant, there was a live band and everyone there got up and dance! Young and old alike...everyone was really up on their feet and having a really good time. There was also a belly dancing performance....but the dancer was not great at all...not sexy, moves are really basic and nothing fanciful....
All in all, I had a great time in Sydney..... Lots of shopping, eating and had some nice experiences.... :)
