Ventured into the city to check out the new train stations and have a general wander around. Love the new stations!! Topped off with a delicious ramen meal from a place we hadn't tried yet.

Can't write all that without mentioning the name of the ramen joint.

How rude.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's true, very rude of me! Hakata Gensuke, it was really yum!

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Apology accepted. It's a top joint.

Every time I want to go there, huge line! I haven’t been patient enough to wait yet.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

That explains why the service and food was so quick! Hope you try it soon!!

Thinking of doing this with the kids, especially while pt is free on weekends

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Highly recommend! We really enjoyed it. Some of the elements of the stations made us think we were in a video game.

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you start at any particular point? I'm wondering how to go about it.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

We did it a bit funny as we drove into the city and started at State Library, went to Arden, down to Anzac and back to Town Hall. But that was more about which trains were coming or going. Just start at whichever you land closest to!

PT was not busy at all today, so that was cool.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah! There was a decent amount of people gawking along with us, but it was cool to see!
