Last week Liam invited me for a bit of a Sunday session at this place called The Alma. It's about 45 seconds walk away from my old house but I never made it over when I was living in the area. The people watching was great and as the afternoon started to become evening, it got even better.
Afterwards we headed into town and chowed down on some delicious Chinese food near the Central Markets/Chinatown followed by fancy dessert at St. Louis. We ended the night with a classy glass of red wine at Mother Vine. Happy birthday, Liam.
Fast forward to this week, I met up with my workmate Sam at the Schnithouse where we partook in a few pints. The Hofbrauhaus pint glasses were a nice throwback to Germany but almost nothing can match the beer in Munich.
A little while later we walked next door to Brklyn which was having it's opening night and where my friend Kieran works. Kieran made us up some delicious drinks and good times were had. The whole place is an awesome concept with a deli, radio station, and soon to be open barbershop all on the same floor as the bar.
On Saturday, I got up nice and early and headed up to Bonython Park to work at the first ever Nutella Palooza. Scroll got invited to be a vendor at what the organizers called "Australia's first Nutella festival." The day started off fairly relaxed as we were getting prepped but once the gates opened, a horde of people came pouring into the park. We were making ice cream not stop for the entire 8 hours and by the end we were all ready to collapse. People apparently waited in our line for over 45 minutes (which, of course, is worth it). One thing I read said there were over 20,000 people who attended so it was a bit hectic. The festival was only a one day thing and since we were so busy I never got the chance to walk around (or take pictures) but it seemed like a good time.
I was wearing a CSU shirt on the tram back to my house and these two girls asked if I went there. I said I graduated a few years ago and they told me they were in Adelaide on exchange from CSU. Small world. Go Rams.
That's all for now. Bye.
And completely random side note: I just noticed that the little notifications icon on Facebook here shows Australia/Asia instead of North/South America. Figured I should share.
