Surfers Paradise Night Markets

Beachfront markets are held every Friday night along the Esplanade in Surfers Paradise. You can pick up all sorts of arts and crafts, food, jewellery and all the kind of stuff you'd expect to find. They are on every Wednesday and Friday night from 5.30pm to 10pm.

It was on the 18th of June, a Friday. We came back from the Movie World as it was getting dark early in Australia.

My son and I strolled along the night market and I took some pictures. Initially, I felt weird taking pictures as no one seemed to do that. Guess I was the only one keen in photography.

    It seems as if [url=http://www.activebody.pl]kreatyna[/url] gives your body what it needs. While using M Stak I have increased the number of times at the gym per week AND did triathlon training at an increased level as well! The fatigue of the muscles workout seems to be reduced ...

    There are lots of different shops in Surfers Paradise, many which sell souvenirs and mementos of your Gold Coast holiday. If you are interested in exploring bigger shopping malls there are many around. Try visiting Robina Town Centre for new modern fashions, or Harbour Town Outlet Shopping Mall, which has outlet stores selling last season products for discounted prices.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
