Good Food, Bad Service! What Really Happens at Karen’s Diner in Sydney
I’ve been here ten minutes. The waiter has insulted my dress, complained about my beer order and flounced off muttering ‘whatever’ once I placed it.

Where to See Kangaroos in Perth: The Amazing John Forrest Tavern And Other Cool Spots
One of my fondest travel memories was visiting a beer garden in Germany frequented by deer – we drank steins, they nibbled grass – it was great.

Kava Bars in Florida – a Different Way to Chill Out on Holiday.
Normally if I’m in Florida and want to make the world a happy place I go on the It’s a Small World ride in the Magic Kingdom – but when I was in Fort Lauderdale a while back, I decided to try something a bit different – I took myself off to one of Florida’s many bars selling kava, a chill out drink traditionally found in the South Pacific.
Tokyo’s First Female-Run Sushi Bar (and 6 Other Unusual Sushi Bars You Must Visit)
