Far east Asian Sunday

We started of with Yum Cha for lunch at Zilver. Food was good as always. We where a group of 7 people. My self, Kat, Ayumi, Thomy, Brett, Josef and Gustav.

After lunch, Brett and Thomy left. The rest of us went to the Japanese game arcade to have our photos taken, checking out the shops and laugh a lot.

Then we headed of to MCA, Sydney Museum of Contemporary art, to see the exhibition of Yayoi Kusama, a now 80 year old Japanese woman. I didnt expect much, as I often find art being pretentious. But I must admit I realy enjoyed it. Then we headed back to china town for some more exploring, tea and food.

I bought a small camera on Saturday. I have been longing for that for quite some time. The big one is good, but you realy have to plan to go photographing. This one I can bring with me all the time, and it shoots pretty good videos too. So hopefully you can look forward to more quality photos on the blog. Some on this post are still taken with my mobile camera as I ran out of battery.


Yum Cha tea lunch at Zilver




























We had to wait for almost an hour to get our table. The restaurant is very popular.
In the meantime Thomy and Ayumi tries to recall childrens clapping game.



We took the camera for a spin at the Yum Cha table

Kat, Gustav and a bit of Josef














The final result
































If you have bags under your eyes, use the left one.
If you want to clean your pores, use the right one.














The japanese phones are so much nicer than the european ones. They have unlocked many of them and you can use them in australia if you are with a certain provider.















This was a pretty small projector. Smallest in the world according to the add. 50" from something you could almost fit in your pocket is not that bad in the end.














Ayumi, Gustav, Kat & Josef

We finally decided to try the black bread we saw the other day. It wasn't squid ink that made it black. The color comes from bamboo char coal. The bread it self tasted a bit like an ordinary bread roll, but it was topped with garlic that tasted awful.


















Some more stuff from the chinese bakery














And a bit more



We stoped by an odd tea house, this is Ayumis black sesame ice tea.
We also played a game of chinese checkers. The place was an internet cafe,
tea house, as well as full of teddies and love hears, serving nibbles and selling motherboards and harddrives for you computer.


















The evening ended at the chinese noodle restaurant, where you for about 7 dollars each have hand made noodles, dumplings and tea.
