The best meal I had this week was Sunrise Ramen from Ganbaranba in Cairns, Australia. The ramen was made up of sliced pork loin and pork belly. It was served over noodles and pork broth, infused with garlic and chili flavors. We also tried some spicy edamame and got my favorite appetizer, pork gyoza, which were both delicious!
I listened to some Latin music to dance to at the Miami Marketta. We learned the Brazillian dance style, Forro which is similar to salsa. I also listened to Laufey and some house music while getting ready for my ferry rides.
