SHOP is your guide to boutique fashion and retail in Brisbane, featuring pop-up shops and other places that are so hard to find that Google doesn't even know about them yet. SHOP attempts to open your minds, hearts and wallets to the plethora of things that you can probably live without but in actuality don't want to. Clothes, jewellery, books, bikes, bags, shoes, bags that look like shoes - SHOP gives new meaning to the superficial - wait, we're confused.
This may come as a surprise, but many people have never heard nor experienced the joy of eating edamame. Oh no, not you too! Edamame are salty little soy bean pods and while some people won't believe that you just suck the beans out and leave the skin - that is how they are eaten (I still don't have the heart to tell a colleague of mine who proclaimed ‘I hadn't finished my lunch' and proceed to chew ferociously on a empty pod that I'd sucked).
The first time I tasted Stockholm Blend, any thoughts of the dark, dingy, pigeon poo encrusted dwelling in which I was sipping it dissipated. It was springtime to the senses. Nothing shady going on here. The Tea Centre, who stocked tea to the *aforementioned café became my bastion of hope amongst the grungy soil-like tea bags of yesteryear.
Let's face it, City Hall is no Big Ben, and the Brisbane Wheel will never be quite the same as The London Eye - no matter how hard you squeeze your eyes and try to imagine.If you prefer your lollies to be sweets, your chips to be crisps and mushed peas an optional side to EVERY meal, BUT you just can't seem to escape the gravitational pull keeping you in Brisbane (and you can't afford the airfare or the Marc Jacobs peacoat) then you'll have to settle for a trip to Bayside.
If you didn't grow up on carob buttons, fruit balls and soya chips, gah! You're lucky. For the rest of us, there's Mrs Flannery's - Brisbane's premier supplier of all things organic and, thankfully, delicious offers all these crazy sounding buts. We all know how good organic is for us - it's just a matter of price and convenience.
With Orientation Week all but over, it is time to start doing some serious thinking about how you are going to:
a) procrastinate like hell until week 11 when you realise you know nothing in any of your courses and begin cramming or
b) (legally) keep yourself buzzed enough to get through all the reading and course work you need to do this semester.
