Day 50 - Non-shopping

So today I TRIED to sleep in, but It was so hot and sunny in our room, I got until 8.30... I didn't wake up hungover at all though, so that was a good thing.

Reshae and Emma left today on busabout, but I organised with Ben to get up and go shopping.

So we caught the tram into the main square at about 11am (neither of us having had breakfast, this is an important plot in this story lol) We went to the main shopping plaza (stopping through a small food market on the way) there were HEAPS of shops in the plaza, but they were all SOOOO expensive, one shop I go to all the time at home, the prices were almost double! So we were bascailly heading out, when I got stopped by one of those guys selling stuff in the middle of a shoping centre. Anmyway, he ended up selling me a hair straightner, lol, it curled my hair REALLY well and was only $100 au, so cheap. (I only stopped because I was actually looking for another one) And he told us about a place called 'fashion plaza' you had to catch a train then a free bus ran to get you out there, bascailly like a DFO. So off we went.

The train was the easy part, and knowing WHERE to catch the bus was easy, but the bus took about an hour. Ben and I were STARVING by this point. So the bus FINALLY came, and as soon as we got there we found the food court and ATE. I had sweet and sour prawns, was amazing. Then we had ice cream, THEN we shopped.

Well, Ben shopped.... The shop selection was shit... Apart from a few lingerie shops (that I didn't go into anyway) and a Lindt shop, that i also didn't go into, because... well I've eaten my fair share of chocolate on this trip...

So I literally didn't buy a THING. Ben bought a few things, but not too many. It wasn't really worth the trip, but oh well. We then headed back to the main square and had had some honey cake and tea, was sooo delicious.

Then we wandered around and checked out some cool buildings, and walked around another food market, but we were sooo stuffed we couldn't eat anything.

We then went to a supermarket to buy some basics, I bought some hair dye in a pretty similar colour (first time I've seen it so I snapped it up) and some milk... which wasn't real milk :( We then headed back to the hostel.

I pretty much sat around and had a nap.. nothing special, then I was in the common room on the net, and Ben asked if I wanted to go to dinner because he had heard of a place with epic spare ribs. So we headed there. First we went into the wrong place, they didn't even serve food. Then we did find it, and saw them bring out a HUGE plate of ribs to someone like a second after we sat down, THEN we got told the kitchen was closed... MASSIVE let down... So we went somewhere else, and I was still TOTALLY stuffed, so I got a small side of mashed potatoes, but Ben got a pork knee. It was HUGE! He ate I'd say... about 90% of it. Fair effort for someone who wasn't even hungry lol.

Anyway after this we headed home, i showered and went to bed. It was overall a good day, we saw lots.

Things that made me happy today; All day lasting curls (in my hair lol, that have infact lasted a sleep too! now I just have to learn how to use it)

Things that made me sad today; Missing out on ribs :(
