Omg Mexican food is so goooood! It is so easy to make and the recipes are easy to adapt to suit my vegetarianism. I like making Nacho's especially but I also love tacos and burritos. The combination of sour cream, melted cheese and guacamole is just diabolical. >_<

You and my bro in law would get along soooooo well! He's obsessed by zombies and is even using the name zombie in his business. Funny thing too, his daughter (my niece) is named Amelie and the tattoo he designing for me is Anime/Manga style.... oooohhhh very 6 degrees if Kevin Bacon!

MUFE used to be at David Jones Burke st years ago! I think Media Makeup imports their stuff from Singapore, not France, which explains why they are not under MUFE stockist list.

Re: Getting to know the locals
^^ I'm gonna get that regardless as my mother in law has already organised to take at least 1 day off a week to look after her grandkids when they finally arrive...
Besides both my parents work full time so no babysitting services there
Although it would piss off my sister (who is in the bedroom next to me) lol...
