We had bak kut teh & stir fry vegetables on Friday.. The spicy peppery soup is to-die-for on a cold Friday night. 1kg of pork ribs here cost CHF 1.60. I can't remember the price back home so I can't really comment.
Saturday is a day of shopping & activities.. the brave husband decided that he really needed a run.. and off he went in 6 degree celcius - in his running SHORTS and T-SHIRT! He ran all of 3.8km and came back frozen like a Popsicle! He then decided that we need to get the proper gear pronto! So off we went to Allaman Gare, the train station at Aubonne. The 6 minutes trip cost us CHF 2.60
Aubonne is famed for 2 things: IKEA (YEAH!) and OUTLET STORES (YEAH!!).. http://www.outlet-aubonne.ch/en/
The outlet store carries the usual sports brand - Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, Ochsner Sports etc. Whilst not as cheap as the outlet stores in the states, it is much cheaper than the shops back home! A pair of Adizero LT (running shoes) is about CHF 55!
This is even better than the 30% discounts he gets back home!
Jem and I bought a pair of Adidas running tights each and Jem also bought a pair of gloves.
I think we could have bought a lot more! Maybe next trip!
The good thing about Ikea is the familiarity. It looks, feels and even smell the same! Their good ol' cheap and fashionable furniture to the yummylicious Swedish meatballs.
I have fish fillets and chips and Jem had is pasta with meat balls. The place is packed! It seems that loads of people will come over from France to shop there as it is the nearest Ikea to them! Gosh I wish I founded Ikea...
