Golly poor ya. U had a really long day on Friday and Saturday. I would be feeling exhausted too. I hope u had a time to eat during the day and have a bit of a break otherwise you might have been feeling dizzy or cranky by the end of the day. Chooby still visited u at 3am and played that is nice, he waited for you.

Will your Polish friend be back? 

The Spring rolls look yummy. I have had those with my Vietnamese friends. We dipped the rice paper wraps in water and spun then around. You r lucky to have fresh wraps available to you. That would be better i think. Fresh made rice crepes:) Yum. I don't mind the vietnamese style, but they are usually cold. I would not mind them to be deep fried:)

I went to the Grand Prix yesterday with my friends. It turned into a very long and tiring day. I have not done so much walking in ages. I did not go to work today. I slept for most of today. We met up for lunch at about 12:30pm in South Melbourne then walked to the track, which was huge. The weather was really nice and sunny, but there were a lot of queues everywhere and i guess we had to stand up all day too which made it even more tiring. Before the race we got to see a lot of car exhibits. When the actual race started i could not see anything because it was so crowded. I only had a general admission ticket so you have to get there early to get a good viewing position. As we got there late there was not many good spots. But you could feel the atmosphere about the sound of the cars and people from all over the world. The race finished at about 6:30pm but the weather was still very good. This year i got to run down the track and actually see the race podium presentation, where the winner of the GP 'Jenson Button' got the trophy and sprayed everyone with champagne. Out of 14 Melbourne grand prix since 1996. I have been to about 6 of them. Did you get the chance to go to the Grand Prix when you were here?
