Wow times goes fast, here I am back in Melbourne one year later. Well at least I was when I started writing this post…. but now it’s a few weeks later…

So much has changed and yet so little. Omg, how fucking deep am I right!

Imagine me like this… thinking very deeply.

So, blogging is back on…. Yep, I’m back – cue a roaring cheer… Hmm well maybe not, but I think the cleanliness of my apartment, the regularly of my blog posts and state of my eyebrows is the true relefection of how chaotic my life is. And so here I am about to smash out a million and one blog posts… Cause let’s face it if I didn’t blog it, it didn’t happen.

Please all rest assured, I waxed my eyebrows and they are back on track.

Okay, so now I will prepare to finish my Hangzhou and Japan blogs (of course I purchased a mac book air in Tokyo to help with my blogging motivation… So far it’s not worked out but I still have faith in this brilliant plan)!

But I’m off track… I was blogging about it’s been a year since i left to go live in China… blah blah blah. I used to really love reading the Sunday paper’s, I miss this a lot… especially teamed with Julie, her garden, her yummy muesli and the furry family.

Okay, in the spirit of honesty, I have to admit that I hate the paper part but boy do I love the supplements!!! So,  I enjoyed my one sunday in Melbourne and allowed the ‘unbiast’ world of Australian media to clue me back in and see what I’ve been missing this last year.

Here is what I learnt.

Avocado toast – apparently it is not cool anymore…. What on earth? I mean, I thought it was just tasty and healthy… well screw you cool police, it’s gonna stay cool in Shanghai.

YUCCIE – what? I didn’t even know what this meant but I felt I should know this.. I read the article and I’m like whatever I don’t do all this crap…. Then i realise, oh hang on, I’m old now and so far removed from this next ‘generation’ and I am now the group judging the next generation. Do you remember Mrs Mangle from Neighbours, totally going to be me one day…. I can feel it coming.

When did i become old?

Okay everything i needed to say is said (which is kind of nothing), so I’m done…. I’m off to do a scuba dive in Koh Tao! Yay.

So those of  you who know me well, know that I can talk about and look at pretty stuff all day long, but I really struggle when it comes to more cultured activities – museums, art galleries blah blah blah. I wish I had the intellect to appreciate these for more than a nano section, but I don’t. haha. NEXT.

However when I get a message from a friend on a sunny sunday morning to go check out Red Town in Shanghai, I jump to attention and think hell yes, let’s play tourist in Shanghai. It’s a bit of a sculpture park with galleries and cafe’s etc… Plus, she promised home-made soup and that’s quite the treat to have someone invite you over for food in Shanghai (It was delicious by the way).

Look at me being all intellectual …. Yep, I’m someone who looks at Art on a Sunday rather than laying in bed with a hangover (and yes I am judging everyone who is hung over on this fine Sunday haha)

Next was a bit of a photography session and stroll around the streets.

Shanghai can be so beautiful if you stop to look.

And to top off a great day I met a friend for Tapas and Red Wine…

That’s Sunday Perfection to me!

So Like Jerry Springer, I’ll leave you with my final thoughts…. Go stroll around somewhere different in your neighbourhood and admire the beauty and jam up your Instagram feed with the PRETTY! x
