Top Gear UK

A while back, I went to Top Gear Live in Sydney ^^
It was fun but I'm not too sure if it was worth the money =/


This wasn't part of the show, it's an actual police car that decided to pop its head into Acer Arena ;)

Wants

I want to go shopping...




But I don't know what to buy.

Swine Flu

I was reading the newspaper on the way home today after uni to find that the front page had an article about swine flu.

Two travellers from NSW had been tested for swine flu after coming back from Mexico and there are fears that it is already in Australia. It is hard to screen for this virus as people can be infected but not show symptoms of the disease and can be spreading to other people.
This has given rise to fears of an epidemic or even a pandemic.

There has been about 80 deaths in Mexico suspected to be connection to this disease and about 1000 cases in March and April of this year.

So will there be a pandemic in Australia?

UNSW Law Building

The interior of the Law Building at UNSW is purple....It was only recently I discovered the toilets are purple and pink as well.

I learnt something new today, I dont' know if its true but chewing gum can cause your stomach to swell. This is due to large amountsof air going into the stomach when you chew. If you chew sugarless gums which have artificial sweetener, this can cause bloating as the hbody cannot break down artificial substitutes as easily and creates gas.

Restaurants

My favourite restaurant at the moment is Wagaya at Haymarket, just opposite the entertainment centre. It's a fairly new/modern restaurant famous for it touch screen menus.
The touch screen has everything from drinks to main courses with prices, pictures and a sticker of recommendation for frequently ordered dishes. This reduces down the effort of trying to get a waiter's attention to order food. Service is good and pretty quick considering food comes out within 10 minutes of confirming your order on the touch screen.




The colour scheme of the whole restaurant is pretty dark, you have your own private little booths with some sort of mysterious yet mystical music playing in the background. I really like their settings and layout.

But most of all, I LOVE JAPANESE FOOD- which is probably why I like this restaurant even more =)

Another thing this restaurant is famous for is it's sushi roulette.

6 pieces of sushi looking identical with the same amount of wasabi in each. One however, is packed with loads of wasabi.

Prices are affordable and reservation is a must considering its literally packed every night with 15 or so odd people waiting for their seats.

I didn't get the chance to take any photos, but I will be sure to next time- giving me another reason to go
