HARAJUKU CREPES



Japanese crepes? I wasn't aware the Japanese were big crepe eaters but I'm not one to say no to sweets. They claim to be the first AND the best Japanese crepes in the city. Now I can neither confirm nor deny this but they were pretty dam good.

If you like sweets and have no regard for your sugar intake I recommend you try them. I had the cold nutella Ice cream crepe. After three days in a sugar coma I can tell you I'll be going back for more.

If you aren't into sweets the creepy fake plastic display case is worth a look just for the humours kitch Japanese factor. Keep an eye out for the plastic tuna crepe( if anyone is willing to try the tuna crepe I'd love to come along and document).

Swanston St Medical Centre

Ok so this might not be the most interesting post I have ever written but it is an important community service announcement (considering how hard it is to find a good doctor in this city).

I have a bit of experience with medical centres. Usually you can't make an appointment, you sit in a packed room for hours and when you finally get in to see the doctor they rush you back out in two minutes.

I have been to the Swanston St Medical Centre twice now. Both times i was able to make a mid-afternoon appointment and both times I was in seeing a doctor within five minutes of my arrival. The doctors were so kind and attentive. They listened and referred to my medical history rather then rushing me out with a prescription.

ALSO THEY BULK BILL STUDENTS, CONCESSION CARD HOLDERS AND PENSIONERS!
