After living in the U.S. for almost 2 years, Lana and Chris will be leaving for their home country Australia next Wednesday. As a close friend of the couple, I stop by at a little get-together that Lana had organized last night at the International Restaurant & Pub in the financial district of Boston. Because the pub doesn't serve food after 6pm, we had decided to go to Houston's in Quincy Market for a sumptuous dinner; but the long line deterred us from eating there. I am glad that we finally ended up at Nebo, a hip, upscale pizzeria in the North End, since it gave me the chance to say hi to some SDMers who were dinning at the restaurant. It was my first time at Nebo last night and I immediately liked the place. I think Nebo is a great location for chat over a glass of wine and some antipasta dishes or gourmet pizzas - note to self, this is a great date location.

But food aside, Lana and Chris will be missed. They are the most genuine and generous couple I have ever met. I thoroughly enjoy their company during their stay in America. Fair Dinkum, I have also picked up a lot of Aussie slangs from Chris. Listening to Lana and Chris's talk about Australia last night made me want to visit Australia again. I am definitely planning to make a trip to Down Under some time soon. To Lana and Chris, have a safe trip back to home and all the best in your life in Australia.
