说到西式早餐，我最爱吃的还是French Toast。在威灵顿就吃过不同特色的法国吐司，尤其是那配上香蕉的法国吐司，更是我的“至爱”。每到cafe shop，法国吐司必定是我桌上的早餐。
一般周末，我们都会带着08/09年度～威灵顿版本的娱乐书(Entertainment Book)在威灵顿找吃去！有了这“书”，我们可以于优惠的价钱品尝不同的美食。上周六，本来打算去Felix Cafe吃早餐，谁知道那天路上的车辆特别的多，路边的泊车位真的一位难求！兜兜转转，我们最后唯有去了Courtenay Place的一间叫Jimmy Cafe的咖啡厅那里用餐。
说是早餐，其实是brunch才对，我们各自叫了Light Breakfast和French Toast。不出十五分钟，早餐就摆上桌了。
太太叫了这份Light Breakfast早餐，简单好吃！那黑漆漆一片的是草菇。这份早餐是NZ$15.00。
这又是另一种不同的法国吐司，面包淋上honey syrup和sugar icing。切一小块，然后沾上蓝草莓果酱，非常好吃！这份早餐是NZ$14.00。
Entertainment Book里有优惠固本(buy one main course with another main course free)，我们两份的早餐加上一杯Hot Chocolate和English Breakfast Tea，我们只付了二十多块纽币。
Jimmy Cafe是属于比较高档的咖啡厅，它位于St James歌剧院里，地址是77-87 Courtenay Place, Wellington。

Hi mae,
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I have never been to Perth, can’t really give a good city to city comparison, but I guess, one of the reason one would choose Perth could be because of distance. It is only 5 hours flight from KL to Perth as compared to 10 hours to NZ.
Wellington has recently (few days ago) rated the best small city in the world (will blog about time sometime), it is a lovely small city and you can walk from one end to another end of CBD in minutes, it is very friendly, peaceful, accessible, walk-able city. However, if you like hustle and bustle of big cities, wellington is not for you.
In general, skilled workers are still in demand especially IT industry. You can check the jobs that you are looking for at seek.co.nz website. If you can speak fluent English with good interpersonal skills, I don’t see there is any problem to find a job here. Most of the immigrants that they can’t find a job is because either they can’t speak English very well or they have no relevant working experience. Most people when first landed in NZ, they can easily find temp job while looking for permanent one. Temp jobs are plenty and do not have to go through stringent recruitment process. It is a good way to gain what they called ‘kiwi experience’.
Hope this help! Feel free to ask if you have other questions.

Thanks bob for your kind reply and advice. i agreed that the distance of these two places is one of my major considerations. i have not been to Perth; but in 2006 i visited few places in NZ, except wellington. although i have not been wellington but from your blog here; i am sure wellington deserved to be awarded the world’s best small city.
i understand that earthquake does happen in NZ, does it effected wellington city?
I enjoy reading your blog.
Mae

Earthquake is part of our life in NZ! ha!
Wellington is directly on the fault line. The last major earthquake in Wellington was 1855 at magnitude 8.2.
New Zealand is a small country, no matter where you live, chances of experiencing the earthquake are about the same.
