COFFEE FESTIVAL
I missed out on the coffee festival last year because I was overseas. This year I was here just in time for it. Well before I jet off again! The coffee festival was held at "The Rocks". Being an extremely sunny day we thought we would cruise along to it and get some good coffee. I LOVE coffee.....
Arriving in the peak of the festival, one can see from the photo below that it was every man for himself:
Upon entry we spot this huge poster and within minutes we knew what had to be done!
The lines for the coffee were extremely long so we thought will try tea instead, to only realise the queue's were longer.......
I didn't realise how popular the coffee festival was. You basically had to push and shove to get anywhere in this festival...
From a distance I saw it. I knew I wanted it. The question was could I get to it???
That's right Turkish Tea & Coffee house. The queues were too long so we thought will check out the stage performance. To my whole suprise the entire coffee festival was organised my Turks. Turks high on coffee for that matter:
Shoving coffee down these people throats only meant they had to dance it off. The view was great until birds nest settled in front of me:
While Birds Nest was blocking my view I spotted the next bellydancer Lizzie. Waiting impatiently to jump on stage:
Within moments she threw herself on stage while Birds nest was clapping like a lunatic!
It looked like the entire Turkish community had arrived to watch her today:
It was only time that some fatty bom bom had to get up to show off:
Following Lizzie's act was Seda. The sister of the famous bellydancer Tanyeli. Not many words can discribe how tragic this stage performance was. I'm pretty sure she only made it on stage because of Turkish connections:
Not to be too judgemental but this was probably the best moment to walk away to get coffee! Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse than Seda, out pops this thing:
Runaway Stairs...
During the photoshoot we ran into Nicole Kidmans sister who was parading around town. Snobbing her off we decided to head back to my car which was at QVB. Some people refused to walk so we had to catch a cab from the rocks to QVB, to get into my car and head to Newtown for Thai. Only when we arrived in Newtown the Thai restaurants hadn't opened for dinner as yet!

A Chiense bellydancer? Not many people had any idea as to what she was doing. She lifted her arms from one side to another and did one or two turns as if she was protesting to bellydancers. Dressed in some weird form of Asian bellydancing gear, even this got too much for me. It was within moments that I had to go in search of food.
Jamil and I decided since the queues were too long here we would head to pancakes at the rocks. Only when we arrived the queue there seemed to end back at the coffee festival. While we came up with plan C, it was time for a photoshoot!
