city again~

This morning we went to Brandon Park at Glen Waverly. It's a shopping centre and not a park as its name shows..we woke up early and went there by the free shuttle bus provided by our uni. Our objective was to buy fruits, vegetables and some meat. I saw a sign that displayed dog meat! Eww...

After that we went to Melbourne city to go to Victoria Market. There were a lot of things sold there - it's sort of like a pasar malam which sells food like vegetables, meat, fruits etc and stuff like clothes, shoes, souvenirs, jackets, toys etc. There're quite cheap, for instance, I bought a blouse at $2 and a pants at $3 and a pair of shoes at $15! My friends and I made a conclusion: if we live here and earn money here, we don't have to spend as much as we do in Malaysia...and my friend said that first-world countries are like that...wow, so nice!

We had our lunch at Hungry Jacks - a fast food restaurant which is similar to McDonalds. Their burgers are large, luckily I ordered junior burger..hehe..it's already very fulfilling!

Our next destination was Yarra River. We saw jellyfish! Unusual right? The river is near to the Federation Square which has a unique building structure. It's also a distance from the casino - as long as you're over 18 you can go into the casino! Unlike Genting - you have to be 21 and above to go in..hehe..but we didn't go in the casino though coz of time constrain. Well we did what we love - taking pictures!


The famous Yarra River (though I only know that it's famous after I came here =P)


They have this on the side of the bridge! And some other structures too..and names of coutries with some descriptions on glass panels beneath them...

Such a pity that Yu Wan didn't come with us.
