Hail Aldi!

Yes. Believe it or not. Today I've been pretty excited seeing something from good old germany over here. The glamorous signs of the sponsor of our main auditorium at University back home...this shiny blue and orange...Aldi!Not because they have german products (actually I think they nearly have no german products because on nearly every thing there's a slogan saying it's "100% Australian") but because they are much cheaper than woolworths or coles. espacially concerning food. The cool thing is, that Aldi is only one stop before Bondi Junction...so I can get there on my way home from work :)

It's really strange with food over here. 'Cause not everything is that expensive...for example take away food on the street is pretty much ok. And most of the time it tastes really good (like the Thai Take Away on Devonshire Street or the Salad Bar we go to often during lunch...). But on the other hand food in supermarkets isn't really cheap...saussages for example are really expensive. Cheese (not that I like it now) even more...and chocolate is nearly unaffordable (maybe because there is some kind of fitness hype here right now)... looks like a conspiracy ;-)
