Unemployment isn't so bad

Yesterday I was really down about being knocked back for another job and being unemployed. But then I realised if I had a job I wouldn't be outside in the fresh air skating along the beautiful Brisbane river. I felt free and happy to be alive. 

The photo really doesn't do it justice, for a little city Brisbane scrubs up real nice.

Alert! Do not take Mos Burger out of the wrapper

A while ago I took my Mum out to lunch at this Japanese burger place called "Mos Burger". It's in Sunnybank the unofficial Chinatown suburb of Brisbane.

Apparently you have to keep the burgers in the wrapper otherwise everything falls out, as this illustration demonstrates.

The staff were really friendly, one of the young guys working there even helped out an intellectually disabled woman who was wandering around confused outside the restaurant.

I wouldn't say the burgers were anything special, they were fairly average fast food fare, they were very cheap though. Also the Ice tea was excellent.

Mario Kart in real life

Not photoshopped. Came across this on the bikeway along the Brisbane river on the way to Toowong, always nice to run over this and get an extra life.
