Monopoly City Street

Monopoly City Street is an online game that features the world that we are living in. When it was first released on 09/09/2009, the server was packed with people coming from different countries, trying to get their hand on the unoccupied land. Some of the Aussie people experienced a technical hiccup and most of us didn't start the game until 10/09/2009. In just a few hours after initial release, most of the major streets have already been purchased. Bondi beach, Melbourne city, Hong Kong City, New York City were all gone and properties were built everywhere. Using the Google Map for monopoly is certainly an innovative idea and more importantly, it fullfil many people's dream - To own the whole street like Hollywood Boulevard or Beverly Hill! Don't sit to wait for things to happen! Own your dream street and charge rent now! http://www.monopolycitystreets.com/

Yaki-Niku in Melbourne

I went to Takumi recently, a fairly new Japanese BBQ restaurant in Melbourne. Takumi is a very nice restaurant indeed. It has nice ambience and great environment. It is also being kept very clean and free of smoke, given it's a place solely for BBQ. The food was great. Had awabi (Abalone), wagyu etc. One thing to mention: The entrees were surprisingly tasty and well made. The wagyu also has a pretty high marble grade... at least 7 i would say. Service was nice but not attentive. It is possibly due to not enough waiting staff. The dipping sources is not so authentic either, it isnt that bad either but surely I would prefer the use of Japanese shoyu. All in all, 7.5/10. If you like yaki niku, its definitely worth to try it. Tips: Please book the table before you go as it gets full quite easily.
