Yes, yes, very exciting. Today is/was Christelle's birthday - she's a Canadian/French girl (Quebec actually). So we all headed out to a relatively fancy restaurant called Annies for eats - what particularly interested us was their chocolate fondue (but more on that later).
I ordered the New Zealand rock of lamb with vegies, and oh my.... it was FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC. I took a photo, but it's only on my phone so you'll have to wait until I return home to see (which I'm sure you all shall). Watching Horacio trying to eat with a knife and fork was hilarious... The poor tyke could hardly cut his chops, but I'm sure with a set of chopsticks he could have worked wonders. For dessert, Mega and I split a cheesecake, and also had chocolate fondue. Chocolate fondue was clearly created on by God on the seventh day... It combines the decadence of chocolate with the goodness of fruit - a tad like the goodness of a crab, in the convenience of a stick (Dave Hughes fans will know what I mean, in reference to the fantastic-ness (yes, it's a word) of fish'n'chip shop crab sticks).
After dinner, Mega, Olly, Xavier and I headed to Club 13 - a club near university that I've been trying, unsuccessfully, for months to drag people to, but nobody is ever interested, primarily because the club specialises in metal, heavy metal and death metal. Tonight was a tribute to Dimebag Darrell - the lead singer of Pantera who was shot and killed at one of his concerts. It was really odd to see Chinese guys with dreads rockin' out to metal music, but lots of fun. And I am very glad I finally got some people to Club 13 - they all loved it so hopefully we'll get the chance to go back before I leave (tomorrow night is a Sgt. Peppers tribute night, so fingers crossed).
42 days to go, and 80 hours of class to go! Photos to come soon!
