Wen: Doomben Racefest


I got free tickets to see horse racing a few weeks ago.  I've never had the urge to see a horse race because:
1. I do not enjoy gambling
2. You can't eat the horses (only joking!!!)
Anyway, so I went there with Ling, but Ling wasn't able to get in because she didn't have her passport.  Which brings me to my next point of how horse races are just an excuse for women to dress over-the-top and for everyone to get drunk. 



The actual racing part was quick.  Apparently there were simultaneous races going on around Queensland.  The races were staggered so you could watch and bet on races in other cities like the Gold Coast and Sydney etc.












Apparently afterward there was a mini concert by a singer named Ricki Lee.  I had never heard of her, but apparently she's semi-relatively famous in Australia.  Also, they kept mentioning the fact that she has a song in the new Sex and the City 2 Movie. 

















Anyway, so her song was good I guess.  Also, it was cool to see a semi famous person up close. 
I left soon after because the other songs all sounded like padding for the CD. 
I went shopping at Chinatown afterward and got awesome food!
