Snakes in Da House
I have mentioned about our encounter with Australia’s creepy crawlies on my previous post (read it here). Now I just want to talk about one specific thing: Snakes. There are real Australian people who have never seen snakes in their entire lives. They, of course, have heard stories about venomous snakes, or probably seen them [...]
Rockpool Restaurant & The Power of Twitter (part 2)
Read the first part here. Sometime a go I went to a Michelin star restaurant, The Kitchin, in Edinburgh. The restaurant was awarded one Michelin star for excellence in 2007, and the chef, Tom Kitchin, is the youngest ever Scottish Chef proprietor to receive one. The list of awards the restaurant has been collecting is [...]
Rockpool Restaurant & The Power of Twitter (part 1)
Rockpool, 2010 best restaurant in Sydney according to Time Out magazine, which also scored 3 gongs (best new restaurant of the year, wine list of the year, and maitre d’ of the year) from 2010 Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards, has just opened its Perth restaurant end of last year. Excited to try one of [...]
Summer in Perth Means It’s Time For Creepy Crawlies – and More!
It’s a quiet Sunday night. We were watching telly when suddenly he jumped out of his chair, shouting, “snake!!”. The accused creature was about 20 cm long, very thin, very black, and moving very fast around our front room. Because of its size he thought it’s a baby snake, and the thought of a baby [...]
First Winter in Perth
When we arrived in Perth last November it was officially still spring, but since we came from Scotland we thought the weather was going to be a very mild, and the temperature was probably warmer than Aberdeen in summer, so I only packed one – yes, one! – cardigan, for wearing it during the night [...]
Australian Skilled Visa Crackdown
Ten years a go when I was considering whether I should stay permanently in Australia and make a life here, I was shocked to find that my Australian master’s degree was valued less than a hairdressing certificate. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think being a hairdresser is less important than being a construction manager. [...]
7 Things I Notice About Perthians
Moving to another English speaking country, which basically is an almost exact copy of United Kingdom, shouldn’t be too shocking for mr.mck and I. Especially since I have lived in Australia before, and mr.mck has had visited the country for many times in his life. Driving is an obvious example. Australians drive on the left [...]
Not My Lucky Day
On one Sunday mr.mck and I decided to go for a brunch, and since the day before we had a quite successful experience with Boucla Cafe using the book “The Food Lovers’ Guide To Perth” as our inspiration, we decided to check another spot listed in the book, and we decided this time to do [...]
And Life Has Just Begun
I’ve been living in Perth for almost 2 months now, but it’s already felt like forever. Slowly but sure mr.mck and I begin to adjust with the new life in our new adopted city. We have finally moved to our home last month and although our stuff from Scotland hasn’t arrived yet, the rental furniture [...]
Hello From Down Under (3) – G'day!
Last Friday was the day of that marked our 2-week settlement in Perth. But we are still in the adjustment phase, where we compare everything here with what we used to have back home. From what I’ve learned in my settlement course 2 years a go when I moved to Scotland, normally the first phase [...]
