Sydney Buses Festivity

Every year in Sydney, Sydney Buses run a competition for the best decorated bus in line with Christmas.

It's rare I end up catching a bus that is decorated so it was kinda cool to ride on this one.

Candy cane striped bars, white frosted emblems on the windows, Christmas stockings, tinsel bordering each window, flashing lights embedded in greenery hanging from the roof, laminated Christmas pictures stuck on any available other surface....full-on!

The only disappointment was that there was no sign of Jesus.

Pho @ An

My cousin took me to An Restaurant in Bankstown to try the pho....The menu was in what I assume was vietnamese and wishing I knew that there were other pho options to try!

They served the bean sprouts and mint as we were ordering....the pho took less than 2 minutes to come out. It was pretty standard, but I feel the beef was not 'raw' enough and the bowl of pho was not piping hot.

The ice coffee was not too bad.

Put to Rest

I've recently been away to the USA and Canada....

While I was in San Francisco, one of my favourite tops died....It is rare that I wear something to 'death' unless it's a pair of my favourite shoes.

This top was by Custo Barcelona and had served me well in hot summers - it was my not too casual, not too dressy, not too skinny/fat top.....a reliable staple that wasn't too plain and not too fancy.

I do feel that maybe I was outgrowing it style-wise - since I couldn't put it away myself maybe it was best that it retired itself, even though I suspect it was from having it laundered in New York....the rip......No matter, at least it 'died' well in a New York laundromat - one of the cities of fashion!
