Entitled this is one of those things that hopefully will just go away in time, by Bjorn Godwin and Jette Gejl.
It did make me wonder, however, what it is that is just going to go away in time? Protest? Stuff people are protesting against? Foreplay?
Two weekends ago three of my girlfriends and I headed down to Melbourne for the weekend. Over three days we ate our way through some of Melbourne’s top restaurants, shopped in the CBD, Brunswick St & Bridge Road and partied to no earlier then 3am on each night. All in all it was a great weekend getaway..if I for some reason get kicked out of Sydney, I will happily call Melbourne my new home.
This blog is just a jumble of photos taken over the three days….some pics of food and some shots of the city. I’ll also be posting a separate blog on MoVida in the next few days.
After some much enjoyed shopping we ventured up tattersalls lane (in Chinatown area) looking for a dumpling bar that a friend had recommended, the place didn’t open till 5 so we decided to go for a walk but instead we came across this bar called Section 8 right next door. The decor was extremely funky with graffiti covering the walls and random statues and ornaments such as my sheep friend above. Place had a growing crowd as it was close to 5pm and after work drinks were starting.
The whole venue was pretty much outdoors except for the bar which was built from an old shipping container type thing and a few sheets of plastic that extended from a wall on the side. Place was uber chic and one of those places you would definitely recommend to others if they wanted a chilled atmosphere and good bar menu.
We didn’t have time to go to the original Brunetti’s in Carlton, but we did manage to stop off at their cafe in the CBD for a coffee and panini. We ordered the one with prosciutto rocket and some sort of soft cheese. Bread was nice and crispy which is always good. The place had a whole choice of savoury sandwiches & pizzas as well as a large display of cakes and biscuits to enjoy. Next time I’m in Melbourne I will definitely fit in time to head down to Carlton.
Back from my travels just in the nick of time for the Theme Day. Otherwise you may have had to put up with someone else’s city!
On Tuesday night I went to dinner with the bf as he is heading off to America for a few weeks. We decided on Din Tai Fung for a few reasons 1. we have been saying to come for a long time and I had talked it up considerably after going a few years ago 2. the smaller version of the restaurant has opened in the new Westfield Sydney which has been great but we needed the full menu experience 3. I am completely obsessed with dumplings atm 4. I am even more obsessed with noodle soups that have dumplings in them.
These pylons and walkway at Circular Quay have been illuminated for the Vivid Sydney festival which runs until Monday night. “(B)right on time” was created by Tim Carr, Tim Hunt, Jo Black, Carter Leung and Mark Gilder. The bridge above carries the railway line to Circular Quay station and the Cahill Expressway sit above that. The vibrations of the trains coming and going above are synchronised with pulsating lights, varying the colour and intensity.
The first time I became aware of s for people killed in accidents was in Italy. They are now reasonably common in Australia. ? This telegraph pole on the Princes Highway at Tempe is cvered with plastic flowers. It has been there for at least the past couple of years.
