[ The quiet streets of Perth ]
posted @ 07:14 PM by fel
Last night, I met up with my friend Chad. He's visiting from Sydney, in Perth for a few days to compete in the National Dragon Boat Racing Championships. Congrats to their NSW team for winning 5 of the 6 categories!

We went out to Northbridge (James St in particular) which was TOTALLY dead. Only a handful of restaurants and cafes were open ... and every single club/bar was closed (I think it's actually against the law to open a club on Good Friday?). So it wasn't a terribly good night to bring out a first timer to Perth and introduce the 'happening' area of Perth ... which wasn't very happening at all :| I had a pretty hard time convincing Chad that Perth isn't ALWAYS so dead ... he kept commenting that he felt he was in a country town
But nevermind! In the end, we managed to find a nice cafe and have a nice drink and catch up
Currently feeling: good
