Pizza Day

Day 7

Tuesdays are pizza days because the pizzas are sold at only AUS$5.50. And these are the large sized ones that you find at Pizza Hut. So we had them for lunch and dinner. :) My mum thinks the food here is so expensive -a large plate of chicken rice here is AUS$8.50- but we were pretty nonchalent, at least you can still find decent Chinese food here, unlike in Karlskrona. Also noted that restaurants had often a B.Y.O sign, which means Bring Your Own. Figured it means that own drinks like wine are allowed. Muffins and scones are a common fare, although the coffee culture here is not as strong as in Sweden.

We brought JX to an indoor swimming pool which was very crowded. We were just wondering why do the mums and kids have so much time on a weekday, dont they have to study or work? It could be the same in S'pore just that I had never been to a public pool on a weekday. Anyway, thankfully JX wasnt afraid of water, as our 1st attempt to put her in the kids pool previously was a very traumatizing experience.

Visited the Jandakot Airport as well, which is the training ground for cadet pilots from SQ and China Airlines, as well as for some of the non-commercial flights. Its apparently the busiest airport in Australia, and whilst we were there, there were planes taking off/ landing every few seconds.

Had some 'us' time just walking around the shopping street belt, though it was only abt 2 hrs right before most shop closed by 5pm

Day 6

Brought JX to an indoor playhouse / gym, similar to those in Singapore. Children under 1 are free, we only stayed for an hour or so because JX cant play with most of the items there anyway. Also took a walk at Cockburn Shopping Centre.
