Getting ready for Europe

Pssssst! Did you guess the answer to the riddle from my earlier post? 

Q: What do you call a doctor who is always late?

A: Jeffrey campbell TARDY DOCS .... I think that will be the last time I try to make a riddle on the blog :) 

Robert and I had a few errands to run over the weekend. To get us started, we had brunch at The Attic in Fremantle. I loooove the atmosphere of this place and they have good quality food (I hear the word "organic" thrown around a lot whenever I stop by). After changing my Aussie dollars to euros and pounds (!!), buying mini toiletries (!!!) and purchasing different power adapters (!!!!), I started getting a wee bit excited to see mahaila in Berlin. As I wandered through Fremantle in my red JC platform docs, people stared at my feet.... all I could think was "I wonder if people in Berlin are going to shamelessly stare at my footwear as much as people in Perth?" I guess I will just have to wait and see (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Kaye: For mahaila's last Saturday night in Perth, I wanted to take her and michael to the new small bars in the city. First stop was Helvetica Bar, which is a place I really love. We found a nice little nook in the  front of the bar and were quite happy to stay there all night. Kind of wish we had now, considering how shit the second bar was! We went to Wolf Lane and it was weird. Heaps of dudes, bartenders with no clue and a weirdly dull atmosphere that felt like I was in a music-less, empty nightclub... don't know how they managed that. I was shocked when mahaila ran up to me after her bathroom visit to tell me that a girl had tried to attack her with a soap dispenser..... Anyway, the whole experience was really awkward, hence the second last photo............. that's michael and I expressing our awkwardness.

Mahaila: Helvetica was a nice little place and the staff were extra nice (which is always a major plus). Michael enjoyed talking about how the place did not utilise the Helvetica font theme... though as seen on the wine glasses, perhaps the little Swiss crosses were enough. And YES I was bloody scared when I walked out of the toilet cubicle in Wolf Lane only to have a soap dispenser shoved in my face with an angry looking girl ready to push the pumping mechanism. All I could get out was 'Are you right there?'. Not quite a fight or flight response. Perhaps I would not be so good in a confusing emergency. So thumbs up to friendly Helvetica and thumbs down to confusing, awkward Wolf Lane.
