A hotel in a room<\/span><\/p>\n

With rooms located around the globe a new company called Hotel Room has been launched. The first property is in the Bohemian Kallio district of Helsinki. This will shortly be followed by room #2, in Berlin. This is a new way to travel to escape the sometimes nondescript sameness of most hotel. Interested?

Pie on High<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a stroll along High Street in Armadale and be surprised. Melbourne comes alive along this upmarket suburb. Coffee shops galore, boutiques aplenty and my favourite, an all pie shop. Pie on High has around 40 varieties of pies, in fact this is a pie-lover\u2019s paradise. By the way, not bad coffee either. Check it out and give Karen my best wishes. The address is 1206 High Street, Armadale,<\/p>\n
