If you have read this blog for long enough you will have encountered my several grumblings about crowds. I just don't like them; I hate the shuffling at ten paces per minute and the meandering through tight, throng-filled thoroughfares. I love people but when you put them in a crowd, they begin to drive me crazy, especially when the crowd is a greedy and hungry one. I never faired well at Disneyland, at the Olympics or at the Royal Sydney Easter Show and my friends have severe doubts as to whether I woud survive going toJapan or perhaps India without turning into a raging mess. I realise this is one aspect of my usually genial personality that needs some improvement, or else you just wouldn't be able to take me anywhere! The global population is increasing exponentially and so it seems that it is I that needs to evolve; by the looks of it crowds are here to stay.
So through the swarm of festival-goers I did manage to buy myself some Ratatouille and Polenta and some minature pastries and cakes, but other than that our Feastability experience was short-lived. Here are a few snaps before we dashed...

ReplyDeleteErin s.- the coffe meirngue was great, it melted as soon as I put it in my mouth the chocolate snadwiched in between made it even more heavenly.
ReplyDeleteHelen- I don;t know what it is about me but I just cannot deal with crowds, even when I was younger.
I'm glad you enjoyed the pics, it made all the elbow shoving all the more worth it.
