I'd blog more if I was doing more, but in the last few days I've literally been doing nothing. You'd figure with free days being at a premium now I'd make the most of them, but uh... nope!

Probably the only interesting thing was dinner tonight. We tried out this new place in the local mall called Mi. I suppose the best way to describe it is a classy Asian food court. When you get in, you're assigned a table and everyone gets a smart card. You then walk around and check out various food stalls (over 20 in total) serving everything and anything Asian. You can get Chinese dishes, Japanese (sushi and tempura), Korean (barbeque), Thai, even Macanese/Portuguese food. Once you've spotted a good dish, you select what you want from a touchscreen computer menu, hit confirm, and then wave your smart card. And that's it. The food is automatically delivered to your table and that's that. Once you're done, just take your cards to the checkout and get your bill. It's a cool system, but it wouldn't be anything without good food... and Mi has good food. Slightly pricy, but definitely enjoyable.
