I spent most of last week in Cairns at Ridges on the Esplanade at a conference on aquatic animal health. I had a really good time, made contacts, met up with people, discussed my thesis and a kit I'm designing for Tropbio and ate lots and lots. Ryutaro took us to a Japanese cafteria behind the night markets the first night - big yummy servings. The second night he took Kerry and I to Shamogen (I think). It was a more formal Japanese restaurant and was absolutely delicious. I ate japanese dishes I hadn't heard of and was taught how to eat them properly. Shibu shibu is my favourite. I also found a custard I actually like instead of despise. Its a savoury egg custard and tastes nothing like custard :) We topped off the night, after two hours of eating, with green tea icecream and bean paste.
I still haven't quite recovered. I'm very tired at the moment so I think I'll go home early. I've finished evaporating paraformaldehyde to sterilise the PC3 lab, so I don't have to be here till 9am tomorrow - nap time I think. Its not like I'm getting anything else of value done. I thought of going to chat to a bank and a medical insurance company about changing to them, but it just seems too difficult. Not to mention its cool and rainy here and great weather to be in bed.
