It's called PICA Bar/cafe. Not much of a bar. More of a cafe that happens to serve alcohol, during the day at least. It's very well priced, you'd be hard pressed to find cheaper non-asian food in the city/NB actually. It's got 100% on Urbanspoon if that means anything to anyone.

Can anyone here recommend a VPN service so I can watch UK and US content on my Xbox360?

alvse · May 26th, 2012, 03:41 AM

I'm loving Spotify!

People like to bag out the UK for not having "real summer", but the fact of the matter is low 20s and sunny is actually really pleasant, and with so much to do, great vibrancy, and it not properly dark until 10pm, it's awesome.

Yeah agree. The winters a little depressing, but I found that was because of the lack of daylight hours rather than anything to do with the weather.

It's very pleasant out and everyone is SO positive. I love the vibe. Sucks when the rain comes back though, everyone becomes miserable again haha. Better than the constant middle ground of Australians though.

I've updated my blog with some photos of the old Berber town of Aït Benhaddou and the surrounds. Really breathtaking scenery.

Theres still more people walking the streets in London during winter than in Perth during Summer... even when its pouring with rain and snowing

With like 5 times the population, I'd hope so!

perthgazer · May 27th, 2012, 07:04 AM

Amazing pics acc - very Qarth from Games of Thrones.

PS Acc - is it worth visiting Reims if you've only got 3 full days in Paris?

acc521 · May 27th, 2012, 07:46 AM

Thanks PG. I can't comment on Reims as I've never been. Have you done any smaller towns in France before? If not then I'd say it would be worth it. I went to Aix En Provence for a day when I was staying in Marseilles and it was very charming and different to the bigger cities.

perthgazer · May 27th, 2012, 08:04 AM

Hrm ok, I'll check it out - only 45 mins away on the TGV

jackso · May 27th, 2012, 08:10 AM

How great is Game of Thrones atm PG. Pretty much the only tv show I actually follow.

perthgazer · May 27th, 2012, 08:35 AM

I know right, love it - especially Jon Snow.

There was something in the news recently how apparently Australians are the worst piraters of Game of Thrones. Some network person/moron was saying the delay in Australia is only one week, and people should learn to be patient. Talk about an asshat - just give consumers what they want and they will pay for it at a reasonable price instead of lecturing them!

Yep we're responsible for 10% of downloads of GoT, which is the highest. Pretty obvious why this is the case and why content owners should make it accessible to anyone online for a small fee. That would see a massive decline in piracy globally.

Instead we have movie studios and TV networks suing our ISPs, because that's a much better solution.

Season 2 of Downton Abbey also started on Ch 7 last week - pity it started in the UK in September 2011, just lol.

More of a cafe that happens to serve alcohol, during the day at least. It's very well priced, you'd be hard pressed to find cheaper non-asian food in the city/NB actually. It's got 100% on Urbanspoon if that means anything to anyone.
