I stayed in Frisco Apartments - Studio room for 5 days while on a conference in Brisbane. It was a much better alternative to Hotels. It is centrally located, 5 mins from Central station which is convenient as the train takes you start to the airport. It was clean and nicely maintained. Only thing I didn`t like was that you had to clean all the dishes that you used, but good thing was the studio had a dishwasher.

I used to go to this parlour for getting my eyebrows shaped with threading, they are really good at it, except one of them she does not do it well. Other lady is very good. It is cheap just $7 for eyebrows.

Approximate cost: $7

These guys have the best and freshest meat. I went to their store for the first time few months ago and I wanted minced lamb but was told that they had already cleaned the mincing machine for the day. I requested that I needed it as I had guest for dinner and that guy actually minced the lamb for me. Everyone loved the lasagne made of it and my 14 yr old nephew commented that the mince is so delicious better than anything he had eaten before.

The safest way to make purchases and pay online. It gives so much peace of mind and I don`t have to worry about losing my money. I use it for ebay payments, for buying credit for my phone and skype credit. I like the aspect that they send an email about the monthly statement just like an online bank account.

I went to this grocery store for the first time and I was thrilled to find the variety of Bangladeshi and Indian spices and beans. I bought so much that I needed a taxi to return home and the shop assistant was kind enough to arrange a taxi for me and even helped me in placing my goods in the taxi. Awesome place, good Bangladeshi/Indian store in eastern suburbs.

No matter what the occasion is I always go to It's Time For Thai. It is the best Thai restaurant I have ever eaten at. I`m a fan of their Pad Thai but also relish their Hot curries and freshly made rotis. Best of all the prices are so down to earth.

Approximate cost: $10-15
