australia day vs chinese new year

Multicultural stimulation could be a way to describe this week, which also had some sort of multiseasonal tone. On Wednesday we were meeting the Ronphen gang for a show at the SOH, and right at that time it felt like a proper flood was about to develop. Luckily it was a false alarm, but traffic was still crazy.

I still can't understand how so many good restaurants in town close their kitchen by 10pm, but I guess the locals are either early eaters or don't mind having pizza for dinner after that time. Neither option works for me.

The Ronphens came with the brilliant idea of going to Chinatown, where we started with nothing but a captivating bottle of Gosset Brut Grande Reserve.
