Are you planning your next holiday? If you would like to get your vacations sorted for the year, then hop on down to the Flight Centre Travel Expo at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre this weekend to speak to the travel experts.
Whether you need some inspiration for your holiday or are ready to book your next trip, you will find plenty of information and ideas to whet your appetite for travel.
The Travel Expo is an Australia wide event which kicks off this weekend with a 2 day'er in Perth on Saturday 2 February and Sunday 3 February 2013.
I recently shared with you my top ten rules for getting the most out of your op shopping experiences.
So now you may be asking where are Perth’s best op shops?
Being the passionate op shopper that I am, I’m a tad inclined to suggest to you that ALL op shops are the best!
However in order to point you in the right direction, I’ve summarised some of the top shops I think you should visit whilst treasure hunting in our lovely city.
Op shopping in Perth and across Australia is having an amazing resurgence of late.
Why, just recently the winner of the Fashions on the Field at the 2012 Melbourne Cup was wearing an op shopped number!
And who hasn’t found themselves humming Macklemore’s latest tune, “Thrift Shop” at some stage?
It seems second hand shopping is no longer just for those in need of cheap, affordable clothing & furniture and it’s no longer something to be embarrassed about.
And being an avid op shopper in Perth, I’m here to tell you why.
Speed networking will arrive in Perth at Rydges on Thursday, 31st January. Similar in concept to speed dating, speed networking is a great way to quickly introduce your business to a host of potential new clients and partners.
Dominique Pratt, TV presenter for Channel 7's lifestyle show, will be the guest MC to get us warmed up for the night’s activities. Dominique promises a fun and sociable night of making new contacts, along with a possible surprise or two!
If you would like to meet new people and find out what others around town are doing, the event will be a great opportunity to make new connections for your business all while supporting a worthy cause - all proceeds go to the PMH Foundation.
So what exactly is speed networking?
Like most major cities in Australia, Perth is a very diverse metropolis.
The state capital of Western Australia attracts plenty of international tourists (700,000 overseas visitors in 2011), as well as expatriates and immigrants.
Most recent arrivals originate from other English-speaking countries, such as New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK, and from an array of Asian countries.
It doesn’t come as a surprise that nearly 50% of all people in Perth don’t speak English at home: they prefer their native languages instead.
There are several reasons for Perth’s popularity.
Fasten your seat belts for the Fringe World Festival in Perth which will begin with a bang on the 24 January 2013. You can look forward to a star studded line up of shows - some guaranteed to tickle your funny bone, others to shock, and some that are purely great entertainment.
If you are on the fringe about going, don’t be. It's the perfect chance to witness new talents just hitting the stage, famous celebrity performers, or better yet, be a part of the action. Fringe Festivals are popular all the world over, and Perth’s own Fringe Festival has made its mark in the arts world around the globe.
