Tall shopping
We went late night shopping on Thursday night, to get Dh some more bottles as he prepares to brew lot no. 2 - a lager this time. The pale ale having been a resounding success, he feels confident enough now to create his mini brewery in the back shed!
We went to a nearby shoping centre. This area has a demographic that is made up mostly of migrants who are new to Oz, and get state funded housing as they wait to get temporary or permanent residency status granted.
The shopping centre was a - throng with people - mostly from an Ethiopian/ Somali background.They were dressed in colourful clothes - the women tall and handsome in flowing kaftans made of wonderful hued cloth. I know for a fact a that lots of them reside in the area and for them its their local mall. Many of them turn up for classes at the centre I sometimes teach at - as a computer teacher. They are wonderfully polite and good conscientious students willing to learn fast! A refreshing change from the usual reticent type.

What struck me the most was their height. Most of them - men and women alike are exceptionally tall - and look about 7 feet tall. They tower miles above the other shoppers. I was the shortest person at the mall that night!

I think I'll shop at Gnomesville from now on!
