Day 22 - Central Brisbane & The ManaBar Day 1

As expected, today was a lovely day!
During the day we went to Brisbane Central, where all the shops are. It was sensational, JUST like London. A mix between Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Camden Town, Brisbane has it all.
Live shows, magicians, bands, artists etc entertaining in the street, plenty of shops, even a Nintendo 3DS display centre!




After looking around Brisbane, we went to ManaBar, the first video games bar in Australia! (Or the world? Not sure). It's the first time we've been on a 'night out' since we arrived. ManaBar is really small, but has a great vibe. Equipped with 5 TV's and consoles, they switch games constantly. On offer yesterday was Raskulls, Tekken 5 (which I pwned at), Guitar Hero 5, Super Smash Bros. and Call of Duty: Black Ops!
Everyone is really friendly and there is a great atmosphere. The drinks prices are extortionate though, but that's Australia in general. $4.50 for a small bottle of coke, essentially 3 pounds!
They also have custom made alcoholic drinks which we didn't have tonight, but will probably have tomorrow when we go back. They're only $14(!!) so we might just stick to the one...
I'll get more pictures too!
