A taste of Asia


In our favourite local Chinese restaurant is this mural within the restaurant section. We usually only order takeaways from here such as lemon chicken or prawn chow mein or won tons - they make really nice food. I think it probably reflects the place where the owners perhaps come from well.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

You need to try eating in sometime, enjoy the ambience (and the picture).

I like Chinese food but haven't had in a long time. The painting on the wall is very nice.

A lot of our asian restaurants have a similar motif, and they almost make great food.

I enjoy Chinese food but haven't had any for ages. I must rectify that soon.

That's a beautiful mural, Amy. It reminds me of the water and terrain I have seen in pictures around Hanoi. I am also a big fan of Chinese food.

That's a very classic Chinese landscape, but it's proportioned to Western conventions. Those mountains remind me of many scroll paintings, which are long and narrow. I'd love some of that food!

When you live in a great place and are home-sick at the same time. I can relate, or wish I could.

I live next to a Chinese restaurant, but since it's not to my taste I don't eat there.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
