Ugg Boots
Filed Under Australia | 3 Comments
Update: I got my ugg boots from aussiesheepandwool.com.au and their service was terrible. It took 3 weeks for them to even send my order and then when I received it they had not sent me what I ordered. They were extremely rude and unhelpful when I tried to sort out the problem. Even though they [...]

For so many years, I’ve wanted to visit Munich. I’d seen it on travel shows and read about it in books and I was convinced it was the most beautiful city in Germany. Alas, that is not the case.
I spent 4 nights in Munich, just before the start of Oktoberfest, and was underwhelmed with what [...]

Sugar Free

Finally Monop et al are stocking sugar free Red Bull. About time! In Germany last week I saw they had the extra large cans of Red Bull as well as Red Bull Cola (which was disgusting). I’m sure we’ll get those here in 6 months.
I know how ridiculous it is to eat healthily and to [...]
