Upcoming Weekend

It seems that there is too much food involved for the activities of the coming weekend,
There is a Regional Flavours at Southbank which  will play host up to 100 market stalls showcasing 
Queensland’s best sustainable producers, farmers and organisations.
You'll be able to taste some best regionally grown cheeses, wines, fruits, and other top quality produce. 

This event is not only about gourmet regional produce and supporting local producers, but also about 
getting people to think about their food choices and how to be more sustainable consumers.

All visitors will have the opportunity to learn from the experts how regional production influences and affects city-based food choices.


For all the coffee and chocolate lovers there is Festival of Coffee and Chocolate at the Portside Wharf in Hamilton. (YAAAYYYY!!!) The festival is presented by Merlo Coffee and will include the Chocolate High Tea this Friday night, Death By Chocolate Longest Dinner  on Saturday and Coffee and Chocolate Affair on Sunday!

After such a 'yummy weekend' my next post will probably be have to be about gyms, fitness and best places to wrok out at in Brisbane! 

Have a Great Weekend! :)

Cirque Du Soleil and the rest of the weekend

As promised, I really feel like sharing my impressions from the Cirque Du Soleil show we saw with the guys tonight!
It is really hard to express it with the words though, you just have to see it,I loved every moment of it, and 2,5 hrs of the show felt like few minutes!


The performers were just unbelievable, all the tricks they did,combined with the decorations and their bright costumes just blended in the one of the most thrilling shows I've ever seen!!

QPAC

Next on the "TO see" list is Dr. Zhivago at QPAC!

Anyway, after the show we all were really hungry so we headed straight to the ginga sushi bar at the Emporium and indulged in sushi in a really nice atmosphere (the valley place is so much nicer and less busier than the Southbank one, so definitely recommend it!)

YUM!!!:)

On Saturday night we had the APCS young professionals first reunion at Mado's with some great food, belly dancing (some of the young professionals actually did dance with the belly dancer!, I probably shouldn't reveal their names:)and some Shisha in the end!


It was a good weekend, it finally feels like I am actually on holidays!! still have 2 more weeks to have fun and do all the planned things :)

Upcoming Weekend

I am getting really excited about the upcoming weekend! Finally it really feels like I am on holidays!
 On Saturday French Festival at Southbank,

 then reunion with APCS participants at Mado's Turkish Restaurant with hopefully good dinner and  Belly Dancing :)

And on Sunday I am going to see iconic Cirque Du Soleil Saltimbanco at Brisbane Entertainment Centre!


I am really looking forward to it and hopefully my expectations will be 100% met!:)

And btw, the new Harry Potter is out in the cinemas !




but before that, work on long shopping night tomorrow, surprisingly there are still huge sales in nearly all the stores in the city (dangerous for my budget!!))

Anyway, weekend is coming and I will post my impressions of the events shortly!

Tangalooma Island Getaway at Moreton Island

19 ambassadors had a great opportunity to experience great beauty of the Tangalooma Island Resort on Moreton Island ! Moreton Island is a 'must-see' place for everybody who visits Brisbane, only 90 min by ferry and you find yourself in an absolutely different environment, away from metropolitan busy life, on a beautiful island that seems to be so far away from modern life rush!

Special thanks to Tanga Tours, thatfilled our day of different amazingly fun activities!

Moreton Island is an amazing, tranquil place, with a beautiful beach, ocean, flora and fauna, and it's great to just be there and 'chillax' , however, there are so many things to do around there that are definitely worth experiencing!!

On our agenda were:

Beach Segways

Desert Safari and Sand Tobogganing

Beach Volleyball

and of course Dolphin Feeding!

ATV Quad Bike Tour

Pelican Feeding ( even though we were unlucky this time, and Pelicans did not bother showing u)

Kookaburra Feeding (we saw plenty of those ))

It was such an awesome day for all of us!! We had so much fun with the ambassadors and some of us got so inspired that even made their own videos!

Check them out :
