Eating a Korean BBQ meal at Borngo
Brisbane gives off a very 'chill' or a rather laid back vibe. This is my second visit to this city in 5 years (the first one was in Feb 2020) and I can say that apart from the downtown CBD, the traffic around the main part of town including the walking street is one of festive cheer and tourists watching the tourists. While it is multicultural, it is not as diverse in ethnicity as say Melbourne or Sydney.
The mainland Chinese, Indians, S Koreans are very visible, and I saw a nice mix of Latinos, Eastern European and many people of Arab descent mingling in the city, testament to the many Kebabs and Middle Eastern Fare. There are plenty of Chinese restaurants serving Mala Hot Pot soups and local Chinese fare, so there must be plenty of Mainland people living or visiting here.
The weather is rather similar to tropical and Dec is early Summer, as Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. The temperature these 2 days varies from mid 30s by noon to low 20s in the night, so it is pleasant most times of the year.
Today we decided to drive 1.5 hours to the Gold Coast to do some shopping and catch up with a close relative of ours, who lives here and could be counted upon if my son Andrew ran into some trouble.
Thank you Stella for being the rock in case, Andrew needed some listening ear when the going got tough. Thankfully he did not and we met up for a happy high tea today.

In a couple of days, we will witness a very happy occasion, Andrew getting his degree in front of all of his Uni mates.
We as parents wish him the best for his current job hunt (Any one looking for an IT Security analyst or executive in Australia or Singapore ? Please email me).
I can truly vouch that Andrew is of good heart and posesses a strong and intelligent mind. When he puts his mind to it, he can truly pull off top quality for his employers.
