One of reasons I love Brisbane is for jogging. Brisbane is a very good place for Jogging. There are a lot of parks which is a lovely place to jog, such as Calamvale District Park..wpid-p_20150525_094701.jpg

Especially, now is in winter, some of trees turned red, they are very beautiful.

Secondly, Brisbane has plenty of fresh air! I love it!

I almost go out for jogging every day!

H&M@Garden City

H&M@Garden City
Yesterday, there was the grand opening of H&M new branch at Garden City. This is the 2nd branch of this fashion grant, H&M, in Queensland.
Today, I and my wife went to there for shopping. There were too many people. We had to line up a queue to enter the store. The waiting time wasn’t very long, only for a few minutes. We found the store is quite large, the store has two stories, including male ,female and kids fashion departments, fashion accessories and sportwear. Also, there are some grand opening offers, , such as $2.95 for a shirt! Most of goods are only around $20 to $30. Those prices are quite reasonable, which are similar with H&M in Hong Kong. I think those are the reasons to attract the crowds today!

Bushwalking@Daisy Hill Regional Park

wpid-p_20150314_105637.jpgRecently, I found a good spot for bushwalking. That is in Daisy Hill,Daisy Hill Conservation Park. There are a lot of tracks which are good for bushwalking,  That is very easy to walk, there are not many slopes required to walk.

The most of tracks have trees to be covered. You need to be too worry about the sunburns.Of course, the sunscreens are required.

I have spent about two hours walk in there, that was enjoyable. Note that, the tracks are shared by cycle and horse riders.

In addition, this park is not far at all, about 15 minutes driving springwood and plenty of parking spots. This park is the hills road in Daisy Hills, which is around exit 24 of pacific highway, you can follow the signs when you are off from Pacific Highway.

Great value lunch deal@Hog’s Breath Cafe

Chicken Caesar Warp@Hog's Breath

Hog’s Breath Cafe is a steakhouse I and my wife like. Sometimes, we go to have a streak for dinner.
Actually, there were some good value lunch deals too. A few weeks ago, I have a chicken caesar  wrap with chips, they only are for $9.90. As a restaurant, the price is a good deal. If you have a chicken curry in a food court takeaway store, that will be a similar price.
I think you are considering to go out, that is worth to checkout their lunch set menu.

B-717 – Row 22

wpid-p_20150410_194352.jpg
Yesterday, I went to a business trip from Brisbane to Canberra. We travelled by a Qantas B717 which is a small jet.
We checked-in very late, so we got the second last row (Row 22)in the plane. Although I got a window seat(22A), but that was next to the engine, I had no views at all. In addition, that was at the back, we were almost the last one to have dinner, all hot food were gone, I only cloud get a box of salad. That is bad.

If you travel by B717, please check-in earlier and do not choose Row 22.
