Monday was a bit more mellow ... we slept in a bit, then started the day with a super tasty cheese and wine breakfast .. which caused use to sleep some more .. until noon :)

We then got ready to do some shopping around Pitt Street Mall and we considered visiting the Skytower Observation Platform. The latter was discarded when we saw the lines there. Shopping fell also a bit short, as the sheer amount of shops was just overwhelming. We checked out a place that we heard good things about in terms of chicken wings, the Arizona Bar, but it turns out they are closed on Mondays ... so, I went back to the hotel while Ritsu did some more shopping.

For dinner we went back to the kaiten sushi place we liked a lot: Makoto. And this time we brought our own beer :)





While waiting for a seat (this time only 10 minutes), we saw again something that had us worried and puzzled for some time now .. the fashion of wearing very low low cut pants that on a bar stool (see picture 3 / top) creates the disturbing image of showing the ass-crack around! ... Amazingly this fashion is being followed to 90% by people who thanks to tummy volume should NOT show their mid rift ... but they still do and think even it is sexy ... well .. low cut pants with short tops ... and then having a tummy like mine is NOT what I consider eyecandy ... Ritsu and I keep having some good laughs wehn we see some chick's lovehandles wobble over the side, or the undies become visible ...

Anyways, back to food ... again it was very nice, especially the Uni. We skipped Ikura, since the only plate on the conveyor belt looked like it had been there for hours now ... It seems they had pre-prepared a bit too much and they stacked up plates behind the counter ... at some point the manager guy just yelled "stop making more stuff" ...

We had a great time, good sushi and a good laugh thanks to ass-crack girl, and the total of 27AU$ (well, manager guy forgot to count one plate :) was very ok ... My recommendation: go, go early, bring beer, beware who may be taking pictures of you and may post them on the internet.
