Venture to Australia

Lunch at a Chinese Restaurant

I think the sign translates into Maple something which would kind of be ironic coming from Canada.

On Saturday I went to a Chinese restaurant with a bunch of people who are also going with me on the trip to Outback next week as well as a few others. Our group consisted of an Australian family (mother from Australia and father from New Zealand) that runs University Park (similar to ISV) and the rest of us girls were from... Taiwan (don't remember her name), Sabrina from Malaysia, Elena from Spain, Angela from Shanghai, Maria from Russia and me. I posted a few photos in my Flickr album but there will hopefully be more later IF everyone else e-mails them to me. Lunch was the standard affair with waiters and waitresses walking around with carts of food and you just chose what you wanted. It looked EXACTLY like the restaurants they have in Toronto, no difference whatsoever.


The only complaint I had about the food is that practically every dish that came by was shrimp. :p So not a lot of variety, it was good, just not diverse in choices.

As I said before, next week I'll be in the Outback with a bunch of other people, I know of at least 10 people that are going, 3 of which are coming with me the rest are getting there by other means. My itinerary will be as follows:

Friday 23
Alice Springs

Saturday 24
Uluru - Ayers Rock

Sunday 25
King's Canyon

Monday 26
Back to Alice Springs

Tuesday 27
Back to Brisbane

I'll write more about these places upon my return. In the meantime feel free to peruse my Flickr photo album, I put in a few new photos that weren't really talked about in my blog including Toohey Forest which has a path that I use to walk home from school sometimes.
