BBQ at riverside

Feeling of Aussie time...
オーストラリアを感じる…

It is summer in Australia.
Very nice time to have BBQ (Barbecue) outside.
Usually on Sunday, my homestay mother took me to her parents to have dinner there. (Nice family dinner.) However today she took me to riverside with her parents.They drove about 5 to 10 minutes. There was a riverside park with BBQ facility.
Yes, most of people will surprise. In Australia, it is common to have BBQ facility. Just press a switch the turn on stove and cook sausages, vegetable, etc...
オーストラリアは今夏。
バーべキューをするには最適は時。
普段の日曜日は、ホストマザーの両親の家で晩御飯をごちそうになる。でも、この日はいつもと違っていた。車で5~10分位の所にある、河原の公園に行っての晩御飯。公園にはバーベキューの出来る施設がある。
そう、驚くことに、こっちには電気で付くバーベキューの施設がある。しかも無料。ただ、スイッチを押すだけで、一定の時間ホットプレートの様になっている所が熱くなって、ソーセージや野菜などを焼くことが出来る。


Riverside was so beautiful.
It was only 10 minutes drive, we arrived close to nature...
I cannot believe that it is still near the city.
河原はとても綺麗。
車で10分でこの様な所に来れるとは...
市街地からもそんなに離れていないのに、この景色にはちょっと驚きを感じる。 













I found something nice from the nature...
自然の何かを見つけたよ。

































































Someone was hung a stick.
Playing a swing... may be more like a hanging monkey.
Homestay children were playing happily with this.
誰かがつりさげた木の棒。
ブランコ...というよりは、おさるさんの様にぶら下がるって感じ。
ホームステーの子供達は楽しそうにぶら下がって遊んでいた。

 



















I had really nice arvo...
Hopefully I have more chance to have those time.
とてもいい夕暮れの時間。
またこんな機会が過ごせるといいなぁ...

New Year Eve and New Year

The end of the year and New year.

Finale of 2012 was really gorgeous night.
Many things were done in the end with friends.

Took photos of bridge.
Time past, changed scenery.
What a lovely... 
















 
























Bar was served free finger meals.
Spring roll, calamari, prawns, prawn sushi, trout and raw oysters.
Most of them were seafood. I really enjoyed the meals. That what I missed in Australia and the end of the year I had these in free of charge.
Belly dance and fire show were great as well.
Moved to near the pub, but it was reserved by events, so we couldn't go in. After one drink, we moved to another pub. Last time of pub crawl the year.
Dancing at pub with friends were great.
Finale of the night was fireworks.
I took photos, but not great to put in here... sorry.
It was gorgeous. Red,blue, yellow. etc... Lovely coloured fires were in the sky. 
I really appreciated to my friend who was invited me.
I could done so many things in one night.
What a nice finale.
Especially living in overseas, since Christmas to New year is one of the most loneliness time if there is no family or relatives around...
I am so lucky to have such a lovely friends who can spend with...
Thank you my friends. Thank you God for giving me a gorgeous night...

Some of the dishes..


Soft shell crab















My homestay mother's friend is patissier in this restaurant.
These are her works...

Three sweets on one plate
















Yuzu (citrus) cheese cake















Every meals are so tasty.
I had a glass of Umeshu (Plum sake).
I also had Sashimi. It was really good quality. I reckon since I came here, I had first time such a tasty Sashimi in Australia.


It reminds me my Japanese life. It was like I am in Japan.
Most of the plates or cutlery are Japanese style..
Taste is almost same things I had in Japan. I know why... because everyone work in this restaurant are Japanese.
Taste was real Japanese food.

I wish I could go back again...

Salad.

Salad for dinner

I made a coleslaw salad for dinner.
Of course it's not only this.. but I just made this one. My mum made different things.
I forgot to put pinch of salt for rubbing some vegies which dry out. But actually it was ok. Compare to rubbing salt, this time is much more crispy.
Failure teaches success.
I'm not sure this is the correct idiom.

Sweets.


~Sweets set~

I had dinner with my mom and younger brother. We went to Italian restaurant near by my house.
It was a small shop. The staffs were really nice and servcse was great.
Foods were nice,delicate tastes and nongreasy.
I didn't bring digital camera...so I used my mobile's camera. I'm regretting it. If I bring my camera,I could take more good photo...anyway my mobile has quite good functions,so I coul take decent photo.
This photo is sweets set. Furuits pannacotta and cassis gelato. Those were so good taste. I liked it.
