I went to Garden City this afternoon. There are full of people. The car park are full. The management opened the staff car park for customer parking too! I parked in there.  That is a bit far away from the shopping center,  5 minutes walking distance.

The food court are quite full too. Moreover, there are many people doing their Christmas shopping too.  That looks like Christmas holidays has arrived. Actually, today is not a public holiday!

However, there is somethings good. There is  a special counter to provide gift wrapping service.

Have you done your Christmas shopping? I think all major shopping centers will be full of people today and tomorrow!

In the Chinese Traditional Custom,in New Year, we will put some money into a red pocket and give them to kids as the new year present. They calls it, “Red Pocket Money”.

I found Australian got a similar custom! But that will happen in Christmas time. Today, there is a “special”  Christmas card which has a pocket stick on itself. This pocket is for putting Money or Gift Card. This kind of Christmas card is very similar with our Chinese Red Pocket! That’s interesting!

Dinner@Brisbane

In Hong Kong, dining out is a part of our daily routine, but that is not apply in Brisbane! Dining out is very expensive.  Even a take-away dinner can cost you $8! If you want to dinner at a restaurant, that is around $20.  Thus, at the most of time, we will cook at home. That will only cost you around $3 per meal! You can save a lot of money to eat at home.
