23rd February 2006

Hamiliton
Well, Rob picked me up at 7.30am in his suit..... well we has to stop at Hamiliton for court. So I wandered around Hamiliton for an hour. It did kill the hour actually, lol. Basically I wandered to Jackson Square but none of the shop were open except the foods until 9.30am or 10am.

Niagara Falls
After we left Hamiliton, we drove to Niagara Falls. Wow. SO MUCH MIST that it feels like it's raining. lol. We walked and took alot of foto of Horseshoe and American Fall. We don't know where the Bridal Vale is so :-S.

Then we went up to the Skylon Tower. Wow. You can see Niagara and Niagara Falls. It was like Wow.

After that we took a walk through Clifton Hill Street. It's feels like Las Vegas. Lol. Lots of strange building and characters hanging out.... Casino..... Well it's a pity that i didn't bring my passport 'cause it would be fun to see what it looks like inside the Casino. Oh well.

Ohhhh, I went into Hershey's Chocolate Shop..... oh yummm. The chocolate is so creamy and smooth. It's just fills you right up. I had Hershey Hot Chocolate with whipped cream....... mmmm...... you have to try it 'cause i can't really explain the taste of it. It's so nice. Unlikely any hot chocolate that for sure.

When we had enough of Niagara Fall, we went for a drive and stopped at Whirlpool. The whirlpool wasn't that strong. Then the Butterfly Conservatory. Hehe. It was fun.... Butterfly everywhere. So be careful. Don't step on the butterfly. They're very delicate. I have few landed on me. Saw the largest Moth around the world. Freaky....

Continue driving to Niagara-on-the-lake..... I thought it was a town by Niagara Lake but I was wrong. It's a town called Niagara-on-the-lake. Why do they call it that?? I don't know. It was very quiet....

We drove back to Niagara Falls for dinner. We had dinner at Outback Steakhouse. It was actually an insult to me 'cause I am an aussie and you should of seen the menu but I was laughing so hard as I was reading this menu.

OMG- are they serious? Do you reckon they have even been to Australia or did they just grab an atlas and watch Crocodile Dundee? Loved the 'ranch' dressing when they're trying ot use Aussie expressions. Did you do a real bad Aussie accent and impress them with your exploits wrestling crocodiles?

Lol, Meeta.
Well you should of seen my face when I saw the Menu. The waiter offers me Fosters. I said I don't drink Fosters and it's not our Original Fosters. Wha they did was they copied the Crocodile Dundee expression. I just told them. You just insulted an Aussie here.

This is a reply to Joanne - cheers!

I actually took the time to email them off their website to tell them that I found their menu highly amusing and haven't heard back since. But I dont think we aussie people find it offensive but more of a scary notion since come on that is just so fake! lol

P.S - Beer here is different in each state of Australia- XXXX (four x) is QLD's beer basically. Come to think of it I dont know what state drinks Fosters. Is there anyone that can help me on this one?!

And we don't really have "traditional aussie food" but we sure as hell do love our bbq's there is no denying that (well I do!) but I dont think there is anything "special" about that since the whole world knows how to bbq... (well I know how to use it but I refuse to turn on the gas myself, I make Waz do it...)

Cheers to Casper and thanks for the heads up on that Melbourne beer!

I know VB is Victoria's beer... (after consulting that with Rachie of course)

Any other ones that I dont know of- for example, Tasmania, Adelaide and WA as well as NT and ACT ( am I pushing my luck here??) .. I am interested in what beer those states worship pretty much...

N.S.W is Tooheys
Victoria is VB.... or Fosters
Western Australia is The Swan Lager
Queensland is Fourex
South Australia is Coopers
Tasmania is Cascade

The Northern territory has no State brewery

Hope that clears you up on it Calie mate!
