Weekend warm up!
Many people think that the best nights happen on the weekend, however a great night can be had at the Mona Vale hotel on a Thursday night. The hotel offers a great array of bars and music to please every bodies tastes, the hotels offers great food.
On a Thursday the hotel gets very full and can often lead to a long line out the door with a wait to get into the doors, I would recommend on getting there early and enjoying cheaper drinks (happy hour), and good food. Check out there website for more info at http://www.monavalehotel.com.au/

AS PROMISED!
Unfortunately, last weekend I didn't get out much!
But as promised, I went out this weekend!
Sunday was my nan's 70th and as such, we went out for a family lunch at La Colina (her favourite restaurant)! The restaurant is situated in the heart of Castle Hill in Terminus St in a restaurant hub and has a very warm and hospitable feel to it (see the picture below)!
The food there was excellent, and was accompanied by great service and an overall great dining experience! However, if your a beer sorta man, I can't say I would recommend this eatery with a choice of just 3 beers!
However, with such great service and great food, this surely is a place to check out for yourself!

Having A Good Night On A Relatively Small Budget!
Hi there guys,
This weekend I didn't go out, at all!!!!!
As you all no, I am a university student and unfortunately at the moment I am BOMBARDED with assessments! However, I promised myself a break and last night I headed to the "Bull n Bush" (http://www.bullnbush.com.au/) in Baulkham Hills (Out West, Off the M2 motorway)!
Now you all may be wondering, how can you have a cheap night at a pub? Well my friends, the answer is simple, free poker hosted by the APL (http://www.playapl.com/ )!
Now this poker is not just on at one venue! The APL is a massive poker tournament organiser and hosts thousands of events around the country with most being free! The above website contains all the information you need to find out where the next event is!
The following link will take you to a YouTube video on how to play poker for those of you who want to gain some confidence before playing the real thing!

Sunday 12nd September
This sunday I had a feast party at Macqurie University Village.
My house held a feast party, over 30 people participated in our party. Every person brought their national food to my place. It was a great multinational feast party.
I made a sushi (cucumber, avocado salmon, tempura asparagus and deep fried calamari)
Also, my friends could try their first time to make sushi. I had a very enjoyable weekend.

Friday 10th September
This Friday I travelled to Castle Hill RSL Club!
The clubs website can be accessed at www.castlehillrsl.com.au/
Over the past few years, Castle Hill RSL has made itself the place to be on a friday night for local teens that are over 18 years old. The club transforms itself for this night with guest DJs and the transformation of the dart room into a vibrant dance floor. The club is enormous with numerous indoor and outdoor sections!
One of the clubs main features is the vast array of activities that you can do here! The club has poker tables, pokey machines, roulette tables, pool tables, snooker tables, blackjack facilities and a cafe' that stays open late (great for late night drunk snacks)!
Getting to the club is easy with numerous buses running to and from the location and a courtesy bus for members that takes you to your front doorstep! However, the worst thing about this location is that you unfortunately need to be a member or with a member to get in, making it hard for some out of towners to join in the fun!
Be sure to check out Castle Hill RSL next friday and tell us your thoughts!

Our First Blog
This blog has been created by four Macquarie university students documenting our individual weekend. Each week we will all blog about our weekends, giving followers tips on places to go in Sydney.
Over time, the content of this blog and design will change! For the time being, we have decided to go with a simple white on blue template with the text on the right and links to follow, comment etc on the left side of the page. This blog is using a simple and plain background as we are going to be uploading a lot of pictures of our nights out. These pictures will be predominantly dark and won't clash with the background we have decided to use.
You can see the storyboard of what we expect our blog to look like in the future:
