Haruki Murakami. I read The Wild Sheep Chase and didn't really enjoy it that much but I wanted to try another book and see if I liked that more. So I read Norwegian Wood and loved it. I've also read South Of The Border, West Of The Sun now and loved that as well. I'm considering getting 1Q84 next.

I find gotogate is pretty good.

I went to McDonalds in Bali. They were advertising a beef rendang burger that had a pink bun so I figured I had to give it a try.

I live in France and they used to do special French burgers as a limited time thing - there was a raclette one with hash brown in it, loads of cheese and bits of bacon in the bun and a fondue one that had loads and loads of cheese.

Absolutely the cost for me. I grew up in London but live in the French Alps most of the year now. I had a hankering for living in a big city again for a bit and, just out of curiosity and knowing it was very, very silly, I looked up prices in New York. I always wanted to visit and it seems like the kind of city I'd really like. As soon as I saw the prices I confirmed to myself it was a complete non starter. I ended up in Mexico instead and it was fantastic - and cheap.
