A Night in a Sushi Bar

After an 850 km drive from Armidale to Canberra in some bad weather ... it rained on and off for much of the way, we arrived there at dusk (5 pm). And, after a brief rest, we headed off for Max's sixth birthday meal ... in a Sushi Bar in Civic, Canberra's heart. Several of the 6 strong, including Max himself, party grabbed Sushi snacks off the nearby "railway" before tucking into a variety of Japanese and Korean foods. There were noodles (Max's choice), a Korean hot-pot with seafood pieces, and I had Kim Chee.

During the wait for food to appear, we watched Max dismember a large number of presents and open numerous birthday cards. He also gave a virtuoso display of writing numbers, letters and words in an exercise book. So, he is learning something at school! The whole exercise took about 2 hours and was very enjoyable.
