Hello Sandwiches,

If you fly Qantas this month, look out for the six page article I wrote about Tokyo for the inflight magazine. It's in the July 2013 issue of Qantas The Australian Way Magazine. You can also read it online here or download the PDF here.

Lullatone Split a Banana Split

'Splitting a Banana Split' is just one of the super cute songs on Lullatone's new 'Summer Songs - EP' album.

According to Lullatone the new EP could be a good soundtrack for:


• ice cold drinks (with foam things around them to keep them extra cool)
• anything by a pool
• just cruising on a skateboard (without too many technical tricks)
• making sun tea
• bonus juice at the bottom of your shaved ice
• itching after sitting in a patch of really really green grass
• making a funny sound while walking around in flip flops
• sweating
• eating dinner outside
• hammock naps
• spraying a friend with a garden hose
• wishing you were wearing more clothes in the freezer section of the supermarket
• pretty much anything involving a backyard - and -
• eating way too much watermelon

Don't miss it!
