Tonight, I was in Surfers Paradise around 8pm. Then I saw there are some fireworks. I don’t know what kind of event is carrying! Anyway, that is a great show, because the fireworks are set off from the beach. I felt that is very close to myself, that is exciting.
Last week, I tried a grounded coffee from 7-11. That is just $1. If you are walking in a street and do not want to spend much money on coffee, that is a good option. But my office has a coffee machine, I will stay to make my own coffee in my office rather than walking out to 7-11. I think I love the coffee beans in my office more!
I like every historical building, especially churches. I like City Tabernacle Baptist Church which is over 156 year old! That is a sand stone. That looks very classical. I love it.

Today is very very cold. The winter has arrived. That is also the time from Winter Festival which started from 8 June to 1 July.
I went to the place to held this festival, King George. I wish to check it out.
Firstly, I went to their major attractive, the huge skating ground! Brisbane won’t be snowing. Thus, a lot of people go to this skating ground to enjoy icy winter! But that doesn’t come with free. The entry fee is $29.
If you do not know how to skate, that won’t be boring. Besides the skating ground, there are a few cabins. They are food shops which have a lot of delicious food, such as wood fire pizza and German Sausage.
In addition, there are some free stuff. Inside Lipton Tent, there is Chai Latte giveaway! I grabbed a cup of free Chai Latte too. That is tasty and good to have this during a cold day!
Moreover, inside the tent, you can watch the people skating as well. That is so cool.
This festival has various performance, please find further details from their website. You should not miss this!
Venue：King George Square
Date：8/6/2012-1/7/2012
I went to King George Square today. I found there is ready for Winter Festival which starts from Tomorrow and ends on 1st July.The Lipton Tent and the huge ice rink are setup on the King George Square. I think we can go to Ice skating tomorrow! Moreover, there are some shops in there are already opened for Business. They are selling some hot food for this festival. That is really ready now! I will go to there and check it out again!
P.S. Winter Festival is a premier event in Australia. It goes to each major city in Australia including Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The major selling point of this festival is a huge ice rink, you can buy a ticket to ice skating and there will be some ice performance too. Even in Australia, we have not snow, but we can enjoy a icy winter!
I tried the new Indian takeaway shop in Winter Garden. I tried Butter Chicken. The price is quite fair, $7.5. Moreover, it looks very nice, that looks like a picture. But it sounds a bit more spicy than the Butter Chicken I had before. I do not like that much.Maybe, I can try their other dishes to see whether they will be suit for myself.

At day time, our Brisbane got blue sky. That is very beautiful! At the night time, there is a lot of pretty things too! Such as Southbank. I took this photo at Victoria Bridge. That looks cool! At the soutbank, there are a shiny wheel of Brisbane and fancy Queensland Performing Art Centre which has a number of spotlights projected on itself. That is glorious! If you are in City at the night, that is good to walk to Victoria Bridge and have a look on the night version of Southbank.
Today, when I did the supermarket shopping, I found there is a good value deal.Johnson & Johnson 1L Shower Gel got 50% off in Woolworth.That is only $4.99 per bottle!
Yesterday, I was walking around City. I found there is a street market in King George Square. This is market for Brisbane artists. There are some handcraft from artists, that is different from other street markets. That will be fun to shop over there!
I went to Coles this evening. I found TRESemmé-Shampoo & Hair Conditioner are discounted again. That is $4.99 per bottle! Such a good deal!
