Traveling to Sunnybank
Yesterday I went to Sunnybank Plaza and visited the shops there, it's like a mini Chinatown there. They have regular shops there but in addition to that there are Chinese bakeries, nicknack shops, a large Chinese restaurant and a Chinese grocery store. They sell all the usual things that you'd see in a typical Chinese grocery store and even some produce that I've never seen before even compared to the stuff I've seen in Toronto.Other than that, the place pretty much looks like what you'd expect to see in Chinatown. Roast ducks hanging in the windows, fresh fish lying on ice and lots of Chinese people walking around both old and young.
Getting to this place is easy, it's only a 5 - 10 minute bus trip away from where I live so I can go back at anytime. There's even a Sanrio Gift Gate there, but as always, it's horrendously expensive, but always nice to have a look; sometimes they have sales.
The temperature has dropped down to 7C and it's really cold! Now I know all you fellow Canadians out there don't think it's very cold but it is when none of the houses have any form of insulation. I know this becuase there's a hole in the wall of this one house in here (from an accident of some sort) and there is no insulation! And there are no heaters in the house either. :p Thankfully it's supposed to start getting warmer this time of the year so it should get better soon.
Elena, Kelly and I watched two movies last night, Serendipity and Grease both great movies. Though about 10 minutes into the film Kelly came to the revelation that Sandy doesn't have anywhere near an Australian accent, ha!
