A five-and-a-half hour break between a tutorial and a lecture is a long, long time. This is every Wednesday for me. Over the past nine or so weeks of Uni, I've come to discover that as hard as you try to be productive with those crazy long breaks, you will only last for so long. Thankfully, I am fortunate enough to be able to study at a uni in Brisbane which is only a five-minute bus trip from the city.
Oh boy, I sure do love the city. Yeah, some people say that it gets boring and there's really not much to do blah blah blah but I personally don't think it's going to get old for me anytime soon. There's actually quite a bit to do! Today on my uni break ventures, I first found myself chasing the view of Storey Bridge. It's kind of the Queensland/Brisbane version of the Harbour Bridge and I guess a metal structure is not all that exciting but at night, it's something magical. After capturing a few snaps, I thought South Bank would be a good destination to head to.
My friend Albert (who goes to another uni) has always raved about this place in South Bank that does 25-cent buffalo chicken wings so i was dying to try them! However on my way, came across this really neat food market at the bridge end of Queen street Mall. It was incredible! There were food stalls from all different nationalities, flowers, fruits and veges and POPCORN. I had a really yummy german pretzel the size of my hand and a mint and lime ice tea. Oh, and let me just add that the food there was quite reasonably-priced as well! I ended up paying about $5 for my little snack meal. So good.
I finally ended up at South bank and I went to The Burrito Bar - the buffalo wings place. They are indeed 25 cents, but the catch is that you can order a minimum of ten and it goes up by tens, so the least you pay is $2.50. It was also dine in only which was a bit of a shame, since I was by myself and I was pretty keen on enjoying some wings whilst overlooking the Brisbane River, but instead I found myself on a bar stool, facing a really cute couple in a restaurant on the opposite side of the road. Nonetheless, the wings were satisfying and I managed to consume all ten of them without making a ridiculous mess of myself.
That's pretty much my typical, procrastination Wednesday for ya, let's hope for more productive days to come haha.
