Dinner & Stink

Okay, i realize that i haven’t been keeping up to date with all my blogs lately, but today has been a massive catch-up day, and its always better late than never! But i was looking over my trips and decided, that as exciting as that may be, i still need to keep u all up to-date with the so called down time, and other things i have been doing....

So the other morning when i got back from my 8day trip, From Bangkok, Sydney and Aukland, well if that is not long enough time to spend with people u only just met, well actually it wasn’t. The crew from that trip were so cool, that we decided to all catch up for a night out in the playground of Dubai.
Firstly, i went to David’s (gorgeous ‘little bro’ i call him, who was on the trip) house where he cooked the most amazing meal. I was so impressed, and i don’t know if i can compete with his cuisine, the standard has been set extremely high. There was a nice group for dinner, then Lou, my new housemate came and met us. From here, we went to a messy club called Zinc, which no-one admits to liking, but no matter where u go out, u can almost guarantee u will end up at Zinc, or shall i say Stink! It screams looseness, but is always so much fun.

Well i thought i should post a few photos of the craziness, the beginning of many more to come, i am sure!

Bangkok

The city of absolute Chaos...... Where the people are so friendly, beaming faces, delicious food, great shopping, and flying with one of the best crews to date!

I had two nights in Bangkok, where on the first we went out for a traditional Thai dinner and drinky-pooz until stupid o’clock. The second day is where we shopped, shopped and shopped! We went to MBK, a major shopping mall full of shoes, handbags and imitation designer wear. The clothes were not interesting me at this mall, but the jewellery and scarfs defiantly sucked me in! Oh, and the 3 pairs of sunnies, which i just had to have! We ate tepanyaki for lunch, which was one of the best tasting meals i have had in a very long time. It was brilliant! Every time i have Japanese it gets better and better. Salmon steak, rice, vegies, dumplings and miso soup.... delicious! Who wouldn’t love that???

From here we went to another mall called platinum, and this was even better. Next time i go to Bangkok, am going straight back there. The clothing was more funky, and there was more fashionable designs and cuts, not just plain tee’s with fake labels on the front, like in MBK – boring!

Once the funds had ran out, myself and David, a darling crew member whom i met on this trip, went for a traditional Thai massage! The walk back to the hotel took 10 times longer than on the way there, as we sleepily stumbled home!

Sydney

Many sleepless nights were had coming up to this trip, back to my home land where i belong. I absolutely love Sydney, always have, always will. And for me, Sydney is the closest thing to Adelaide as for Melbourne, we all know that i aint too fond of that depressing hole!

The best thing about Sydney, was being able to see some familiar faces once again. Firstly i got to the hotel room, attempted to have a power nap, and was picked up by Shelly, where i spent the afternoon with her and hubby Paul. It was so great to see them; and once again “Thanks sister Shel. Love ur ass!!!” After lunch at Bondi, and a tour of their home, i headed back to the hotel room and put myself to bed! – Delirium was defiantly settling in!

Several hours later, i was woken by this an old man, who made his way into my room! It was Daddy G, the king of Gravox. The creepy little old man who i longed to pay out! And he typically made it so easy to do so..... he he! Little daddys girl was back in action and was loving every minute of it!
It was so great to hang with Dad, we had dinners and breakfasts, went shopping and just strolled around for hours, from Darling Harbor, to China Town then down Oxford Street one night. It was brilliant. It really made my stay in the big city much more homely.

The only problem i had was trying to fit all the shopping i did, mainly groceries, in my already over full suitcase. It got to the point that even sitting on my suitcase wasn’t heavy enough. I had to jump several times and literally had to stand on it, trying to keep my balance as i bent forward to latch it! Great difficulty i tell u! Still managed to get in the new pair of Uggies i bought, which are an absolute necessity here in the dunes, considering it is only 40 something degrees here today! What the??? Chocolate brown ones too, they are all porn!

I even like the way Sydney is up with the times, displaying the tard face over many of its billboards, he he. Daddy, i know u hold the proof of this.... he he

Cape Town

Cape Town is a stunning city with European influences in the buildings structures. The town is based at the bottom of the mountains and stretches just a small distance to the ocean. Where ever u stand, u are surrounded and in awe of the picturesque views of the worldly famous table mountain, the lions head and the port. Its beauty is so grand, that only the cutest of dolls houses would be found here. It is defiantly one of the countries secrets, however whilst being here, it is difficult to believe that u are in Africa.

I was privileged to be able to visit Cape Town three times last month. And this allowed me to really experience what it had to offer. On one trip i did the fine dining dinner at the Waterfront, a place full of shops, and a style of food to suit anyone. After a few bottles of wine, a detour to a nearby bar, typically a few shots of tequila, then straight to the clubs we went. A place called the BroncX a gay bar where fun times were had by all. They are not shy of a party in this town.

During my second trip, i had an early night, woke up first thing the next morning and went on a tour going through Bantry Bay, Clifton Camps Bay, all the way down the coast to The Cape of Good Hope. We went to the National Park and got a beautiful collection of photos, and then to a Penguin park, where the animals live in their natural environment. The other thing about going on this tour which i was so intrigued by was, whenever we pulled the minda bus to the side of the road, within five mins, u would be able to see Southern Right Whales. This was amazing, watching them swim, so elegantly with their movements. My last trip, was very casual, i went out for breaky, then just strolled around the Waterfront for several hours. Always keen for a lazy dazy day out in a new exciting city!
