Only two more months to go...I can't believe this year has gone by so fast. Things have finally picked up with my dissertation, which means I will be increasingly busy as time goes on. Today I took the chance to sneak away for the morning and went to the West End Markets -- a Brisbane institution. I went with my friend Ha, who is from Vietnam and studied at the School of Population Heath with me. Ha lives in the West End, so she offered to show me around the markets this weekend.
The markets are pretty big -- the stalls go on and on, and the produce covers everything you can possibly think of. I saw plenty of fruits and veggies today that I've never even seen before. I love my little produce market in Ashgrove, but I wish I lived close to something like this on the weekends -- the produce is cheap, cheap, cheap!
After shopping around Ha took me back to her house and cooked me a fantastic Vietnamese lunch...yum, so good! I have to think of something American to cook for her now...any suggestions?
