Greetings from Victoria, Australia.
Good day, mate!I've been in Aussie land for one week already and it's all good. (: Weather's pretty cold here even though it's summer right now. -.- But i'm starting to get used to the weather here. I love the weather actually - sunny and cool. You can walk and walk and walk under the bright sun but you will never sweat. That's the best part. Haha.
Still trying to get used to the food here though. I MISS GOOD DECENT CHINESE FOOD! *whines
Staying overseas away from home for the first time is definitely a good and eye-opening experience. I'm pretty sure after this whole year i'll be a stronger person, both emotionally and physically. ;)
Been to a decent number of famous places : Federation Square, Lygon Street, Swanston Street, Crown Casino, Queen Victoria's Market, Melbourne's Chinatown, La Trobe Street, Yarra River, and a few parks which i've forgetten their names. -.-
Yes, i own the park. :D
See how strong the wind is? Can barely open my eyes.
At Yarra River. (:
Turn right, turn left. You decide.
This is Chinatown, Melbourne.
Is this "chinese enough"?
Strutting down Chinatown. Felt a small sense of belonging here. =p
Melbourne's tram.
Melbourne's yellow taxi.
Spotted in downtown Melbourne city.
Some really radiant-looking pretty flowers found in the park.
A picture-perfect moment. (:
On the other hand, I shall let the world to have a small peep into the room which i'll be staying for the next one year...
Empty room with my bloody heavy luggage.
Cosy bed. (:
The built-in desk, shelves and wardrobe. There's LOTS of storage space.
The ceiling-to-floor sliding window. Me loves!
For the time being, there's orientation for on-campus students at Gippsland here starting tomorrow. And oh, i'm still getting used to the fact that every single person I see here is an ang-moh - cashiers, waiters, waitress, security guards, shopkeepers, anyone. And yes, the aussie slang can be pretty strange to the ears. -.-
Ahh.... I do miss home though. But i guess i'm coping well enough. Till then, enjoy the rest of the CNY for those at home! (:
