OH MY GOD

A hawker style cafe has opened up behind my house and their thing is that you play board games while you eat there.



The chick who owns/runs the place is very cute and I want her as my girlfriend...or pet. I haven't decided.

But, I walked past the other day and



THERE IS A GIANT CHESSBOARD OUT THE FRONT FOR THE WHOLE OF SUMMER!!!



Ahem. Anyone want to teach me (yes, that is right, I can't play chess)? Also, totally kicks ass over the permanent one at the corner of Swanston and Little Collins in the city.

This type of cutesy Asian weirdness I definitely approve of.

Oh, and the food here is a lot better than you expect and better hawker crap that you get around here. Makes me miss Darwin...or the aunties.

Damn you, Bunches! Just as soon as I get round to visiting your last major recommendation, you put up another spot that I must check out. *shakes fist*

Haha. I'll take that as a compliment.
This place is so wacky, it's like getting sucked into a vortex where I am hanging with all the kids of every extended family, but twenty years in the future when they're fully grown.


Oh, and there is food.

We'll just have to wait for me to get used to it.

excellent.

The australian centre for the moving image board game society now has a new place to meet (that isn't the gypsy camp i call home).

With chess, use your knights, and make sure you space out your pawns early.
