I also picked up a couple of clothing items at the Co-op, our local supermarket (kind of like Target + a supermarket) - here I am XXL!
Yesterday we took a walk to Zen Plaza, which has a lot of groovy clothes from VN designers. I plan to return when I have an income of some sort. The walk there was totally not zen - even the unflappable M was not quite sure at one point if we could get across one of the main roads. It was peak hour and we discovered that bike riders freely use the footpath if the road looks too busy - which it always does! We are learning not to flinch (THERE'S A BIKE COMING STRAIGHT FOR ME!), or worry too much about gratuitous tooting (a national pastime).
Tomorrow we head to district 7 for a change of pace. It's supposed to be an expat area with lots of schools around (and RMIT) - away from the touristy sites, so we're expecting a very different feel.
Tonight we dined at Dong Pho. Wonderful food (a bit more upmarket), waiters that reminded us of Sydney (ATTI-TUDE! BLING!) but one dish had me laughing - it was tres tres petit compared to the picture in the menu! But the steamed spring rolls here alone were worth the visit. Superb. And a very nice creme caramel.
Because we went upmarket we still haven't been the the place we've nicknamed The Goat Palace - but I just have to show you what it looks like.
Always smells great, always teeming with customers - one day...
