Interesting Observations:
1. Board games here are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! Scrabble $60, Cranium $85...I think the cheapest board game I saw was 'SORRY' $20.. so now I miss board games!
2. When you order a Milkshake here...if you want an actual milkshake, it has to be a 'thick shake' or else your pretty much getting nestle quick /syrup mixed in milk..
3. Ice coffees and cold mocha drink are very popular here..you buy them at any convenient store, gas station or grocery store, in 250ml or 500 ml cartons.. the are delicious & addicting! They come in many flavours.. Strawberry, Chocolate, vanilla, Espresso, & my two fav's - Mocha & chocolate with honeycomb!
4. im not sure if I have mentioned this before.. but in 'coffee world' over here.. theres no such thing as a double double, 1 sugar 2 milk, and all the other ways we may order it back home.. your options here are:
-machhiato, long flat, short flat, long black, these are all espresso based coffee's also.. in bars, restys & coffee shops, its always made this way, not with ground coffee like we are used to back home..and I must say, its quite delicious.. our new fav way of making coffees at home is with a french press.
5. We are so lucky to live right across from a farmers market that occurs in the play area of the public school across the street every Saturday 8am-12! They sell all kinds of goods from seafood, fish, smoked sausages & ham, bread, organic milk, spreads, dips, fresh farmers fruit & vegg...also they have vendors selling delicious snacks like brat worst & onions on a bun for $6, healthy greek pies (spinach & feta, etc) for $6 - and just across the street! Subiaco is awesome!
