No chicken fillets?!?!

Just a short note... I had Subway the other day for the first time here... and to my surprise, they don't have chicken fillets!!! that's like the only ingredient that I ever have! haha... as an alternative (maybe healthier option) I had chicken breast. They also have sweetcorn as a salad ingredient, so also tried that. Overall, it wasn't tooooo bad. :)

Atmosphere & Brother Ali @ KOKO

Atmosphere & Brother Ali - a hip hop gig I tagged along to last night! :) It was wicked! Matt and my TNZ buddy Megs both wanted to check them out, so why not tag along. I didn't know any songs (haha), but it was such a cool "atmosphere" and being at hip hop gig and hearing some good hip hop was good. I'm sure Matt will blog more about the gig and performance, so keep an eye on his blog.


The venue was wicked! Koko felt like a bigger St James theatre with multi levels and little booths on the sides. It was packed! We had a primo spot on one of the higher levels looking over the crowd - and right behind us was the bar. Check out their sites for pics... seriously one cool venue for a gig! Few of our pics on my Facebook.

Toms Shoes

My favourite London shoes!
I got these kung-fu type shoes in San Fran on our way over... I've worn them almost everyday I've been here! :)
They are soo comfy and light, and petty cheap too. What's even better is that for every pair of TOMS that you buy, TOMS will give one pair to a child in need.
I'm gonna buy me another pair when these are wasted ;P

New found love for MUJI

There's a shop in London (and also in other cities in UK, Europe & Asia) called MUJI. It's quite close to where we're staying so I can visit there frequently! hehe. Those ex and present Londoners may know what I'm talking about.

For those that don't know what I'm on about, MUJI is a store (I think originally from Japan) that sells everything you could possibly need from clothes, stationary, sofas, slippers, bed linen, storage, travel bags and accessories and much more. And their products are simple and plain. Think they call it "No brand quality goods". If only I had a home to decorate and some pounds, I could spend all day in there. Lill - you'll LOVE this shop for home storage goodies!

Every little bit helps

Just wanted to shout out to Nat & Dave and say thanks heaps for the nifty eco-friendly bag you got me! It's great.

The amount of times I've been to the supermarket during the last few weeks, I would have accumulated a number of plastic bags! This handy little "Envirosax" is a cool little rolled up bag that fits nicely in your handbag to take to the supermarket (or anywhere) for all the groceries. It fits heaps in it and is quite styly too! :) hehehe

Go the Envirosax! Help our environment and get one today! :)

Grease is the word

Went to see Grease (the play) on Monday night. Had primo seats, just 3 rows from the front. I was a bit disappointed as they performed all the songs in a different order to the movie! And the story line was condensed big time :( ... they didn't even have the race off or the whole other gang for that matter!

Anywho, it was a fun night and got to sing along to all the good ol Grease songs.

It has begun...

So I have finally got around to starting my blog for my travels. I'm planning to update my blog at least once a week with things that I get up to or random findings along my way.

But as I've now been here for a couple of weeks now, there is a bit of catch up to do.

So save this link to your favourites and check back regularly, coz I don't know if you can subscribe for updates :)

Short and sweet... enjoy!
