Well to ease my boredom today I decided to go to the shops and have coffee and lunch - as I am not working yet - this has become a habit of mine.Googling and facebooking can become a bit tedious after a while - as can Oprah!!!
On the way there - I was in the taxi sitting in traffic when out of god knows where up the inside lane - well not even a lane ( a space to drive) came this little black porsche (thought it was Doug McLeod for a minute then I realised where I was!!) it was going so fast it was incredible - if you had pulled over you would gave been wiped out for sure - or he would have.
Had a gingerbread caramel latte (straight to the hips) - devine, and a turkey sandwich - which took an hour to come - not sure if this was due to the colour of my hair or my sex (as other locals got their food rather quickly).
Two ladies next to me must have been really hungry - they had four dishes between them - salad (huge), pizza, pasta, and some sandwich - mind you they do eat alot here, and they demolished the lot along with 2 drinks each.
Then I did a bit of grocery shopping which included a piece of salmon and a bottle of milk - now the job is to find a taxi real quick so you can get the food home as quick as possible. No problem found one. Only thing is he did not speak very good english and he took the wrong turning to take me home and where he took me there were roadworks everywhere so I told him he had taken me the wrong way - he could not understand me so I got out - god knows where I was. Stupid I know but the meter was ticking and I have in the past been taken for a ride in the middle of nowhere and ended up costing me a fortune - at least I sort of knew where I was.
The temperature outside was 47 at 1630hrs. I could see our apartment block in the distance so I just had to make my way towards it. Only problem was no footpath - no room for traffic and pedestrian - so I had to make a run for it in between traffic (there are more pedestrian deaths here than MVA)
Anyway finally made it home after 20 minutes walk - along with a half cooked piece of salmon and curdled milk - nice!!!!!
The above pic is just a huge shopping cart outside another mall.
