Adelaide-Day 4

So I realize there hasn't been a day 1-3, but that's because I've been too tired/lazy to write.
But anyway, it's been pretty chill so far. The first day we did some window shopping at a strip called Parade, being shocked by the really expensive prices of clothes here. Seriously, it's ridiculoussss. I saw a burn-out t-shirt that you can tell is really good quality, but it wasn't worth the 125$ on the tag.
Church on Sunday was somewhat interesting as well...going back to a church we used to attend when I was like 2 years old..it's funny seeing people react to how I look now compared to before.
After that we went to Hahndorf, which is Adelaide's German town. We visited a lot of quirky and cute craft shops and had delicious scones with cream and strawberry jam and pecan tart.
On the way back home, we got stranded in a gas station which was not fun at all.
Today was pleasant as well..during the morning we had to do some financial stuff which was a bore, but after that we went to Central Market which had this Asian food centre that reminded me of Flushing but more diverse.
I had Laksa for the first time which was just hot enough to pick me up from the cool weather, and I had my brother's left over he fen..
Thennnn we went to Glenelg beach. I don't know if you can really describe a beach as adorable, but this one was pretty adorable. The beach was REALLY clean, and the condos and docks on the side were so pretty and cute. It looked like Miami minus the heat! We had soft-serve ice cream at Mackers (aka McDonalds) here, which I SWEAR is better than the one in NY. It is so much creamier..
Then we had Thai for dinner which was a nice change from the Thai in New York where I *always* get pad thai. I have no idea what we had..some chicken, some squid...I didn't bother asking (as always) but it was quite tasty.
After that we had some pretty good gelatto which was sooo good but made me soo full. I am definitely putting on some fat after this trip.

Man...life is so relaxed here. I'd definitely move here when I'm like 80.
