I read this article about some scientists uncovering evidence that London cabbies have inbuilt "sat-nav" in their brain .
Apparently, these guys have a larger hippocampus - a region of the brain that plays an important role in navigation.
Their brains even "grow on the job" as they build up detailed information needed to find their way around London streets - information famously referred to as "The Knowledge".
I reckon my hippocampus is super under developed. I can even forget how to get home from Ashfield sometimes. Sigh.
This was my most interesting lunch in Melbourne, claypot rice at Boxhill!
It's not your usual chicken or pork, but fish on the rice. The dark sauce is extremely yummy and the ice chrysanthemum tea was a perfect accompaniment.
