The flight was so long. I kept walking around, eat (funny that I still felt hungry even though I did nothing but sitting there), nap and watch movies: Bones season 8 - seem them all before, just killing time Gravity - meh, its okay The Grand Budapest Hotel - I loved it!

Overnight in Sydney Cubee Monkey I was still packing when Chris came to pick me up for the airport. :) I definitely started packing early this time but still, it became a last minute thing again.

Here is the VERY simple recipe on how to make Janpanese pickled ginger: Japanese Pickled Ginger Recipe My pickled ginger.

The Experience John has bought me a ticket for a full 3 hours of Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb for my birthday this year (thank you John!! 💕 ). I have to say that I have always thought the bridge climb is an overpriced tourist thing.
