Melbourne: The Royal Melbourne Show

The Royal Melbourne show is one of those enduring items that have been running in Victoria since 1868.

First and foremost, you must be aware that this is going to be an expensive trip no matter which way you look at it. To be honest, I’d say take out all the money you want in cash and leave the card at home. Or alternatively, keep a a card with a few 100 just in case. A lesson I’ve definitely learned for next time. At the same time, have fun. Yes it’s expensive, and once you’ve done it, probably not feel like doing it again anytime soon and I don’t blame you.

I finally decided to take my blogging to a different level. After close to two years, I believe I’ve got enough of material to go legit.

I’m starting an email list!

Yes….an email list.

It might not mean much to many, but to me it signifies that I want to pursue this professionally! And to top it off, I’ll even be having a free gift!

Stay awesome and I’ll see you shortly! Keep your eye for the sign up form!!

Winter Night Markets 2015

The 2015 winter night market is on again and you need to go.

They have included a new fun thing called the silent disco whereby people have headphones and are linked to the same channel that tells you the actions you need to complete. There is nothing like a bunch of people just silently moving up to you and busting a groove to bring a smile on your dial. Especially if you have no idea what they’re doing.

And as always I ensured that I got into the best food option there was. Given it was my birthday recently, I caught up with a good friend, after a long time. By long, I mean it’s been a year. And we caught up at the exact same thing last year.

But unlike last time, I made sure to go around the entire section to get a glimpse of everything before I let my stomach decide. Last time, I had an amazing burger only to find more exotic fare 5 stalls down (crocodile and ostrich).
