@cerbojam: Boxing Day

Adelaide Journals 2013: DIY Car Wash at BP On The Run!

12.26.2013 – In Australia almost everything is “self-service.” You pay at the counter or clean up after you eat at a nearby fast food restaurant it is self-service. It shows independence and not over exaggerating with too many hands to do your chores.

When you think of car wash you go to the garage (service station term for gas station in Australia) and there are people already to do the job. But at St. Mary’s BP on the Run you do it yourself for less than $10.00 AU dollars. Just put $1.00 AU dollar in the machine and the blaster shoots high pressured water with foam to rinse the dirt away.

12.26.2013 – Harbour Town is the shopping district in Adelaide, South Australia which mostly consists of signature brands.

Boxing Day is their holiday event where most people are now spending their time at this place.

After an early lunch at IKEA and some look around driving off to Harbour Town was the next destination to check out the excessive sale and huge discounts. It might not be as big place unlike in Melbourne for your shopping needs, but it is a place you should you buy something for a discounted prices…

12.26.2013 – IKEA is famous for furniture and other home decors and they have branches all over the world. Unfortunately they don’t have one in the Philippines as I’ve heard there’s one in Singapore but never got the chance to see it for myself being there in that country twice.

The opportunity to see it in person was my first in Adelaide was a great experience. A friend sent me photos back then in San Francisco but only the exterior image of the huge warehouse. But once you enter that place it will change your perspective how to “beautify” you’re house.
