CibbuanoFun Date Ideas
June 19th 2006 01:43
This week I'm dedicating my posts to a list of fun dating ideas. Some are good ideas for new or first dates, others can be good for spicing up a stable relationship. Eitherway, I hope they give all the couples out there some ideas for fun activities other than the boring, generic options. Enjoy.
1) Check out the live music scene – You don’t need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to see some quality musical showcases throughout Australia. Smaller venues will host new up and coming bands and there are plenty of styles and genres to choose from. To find local gigs in your area try searching Citysearch, FasterLouder or Liveguide Australia. These sites give good coverage of many live gigs happening in all major Australian cities and some regional centres.
2) Go high rolling – The local casino is a place everyone should visit at least once in their lives. It is like an adult version of a trip to the zoo and you don’t have to spend big to have a bit of fun. On a lucky day, you’d be amazed with how long $10 in a 1c pokey machine can keep you pounding the button. To the non-gamblers, a casino can seem a little intimidating. On my few ventures, it felt like stepping into a surreal world. But no one seems to mind the odd novice wondering around, watching daily wages compressed into tiny chips and flung across velvet tables. For non-gamblers, a casino adventure is an experience to be had.
3) See a play – Seeing a live performance is a nice change from the cinema screen and like live gigs can be very affordable depending on the playhouse you choose. Small independent playhouses throughout Australia will regularly host performances of their latest works. Depending on your mood, finding a local comedy or drama is never too hard. Look up Citysearch or a local paper to find out what is showing in your area. A few of the small and mid-sized independent theatre companies will have a website to keep you up to date with what is on. Other resources for cheap theatre are local universities, community organisations and drama colleges/schools. You’ll have to do some digging around as many of these small theatrical societies cannot afford a newspaper spread. The best bet is to look in community based publications or websites for advertisements. $5 to $15 can get you a great night of theatrical entertainment.
