Archives for "Travel"

I think trams are fun only when you are sitting the right way. Sitting backwards gives you a bit of a headache. Sideways isn’t too bad but not for a journey more than an hour. You get to see a fair bit of a city in a tram. You get to meet all sorts of people too.

It’s a shame Brisbane got rid of them in the 60s but I guess that is what makes Melbourne so different. Every city has their own little charm.

It’s been raining again. Boring.

You know what, this sitting backwards and blogging is making me sick. I’ve got to stop here. Till next time.

So tonight I’m spending by myself since I’m not meeting my brother tonight. This means I have to find myself some dinner. Now this shouldn’t be hard since Melbourne is a gastro-mecca but I’m alone, it’s cold and my god, what is good? I am almost contemplating going back to so called old faithful… Pho. We will see. But now that we are talking food, I think all I have done since I have been here is eat and work. Shop perhaps not as much as one would expect. I am amazed at the amount of food I have consumed. LOL. Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Mexican… omg, the list could just go on and on. So far the best meal has been at Flower Drum. It is a fancy Chinese restaurant in the heart of Melbourne Chinatown. It has service that no other Chinese restaurant can compare to… they don’t throw plates at you and tell you that you don’t have time for dessert. I think we took 2 hours to eat. It was neverending… that is until we left. I hope to go back there again, when someone else is paying.

My brother and I tried the sister bar of D.O.C.S (Mozzarella Bar), the Pasta Bar. It was pretty good stuff and so quintessentially Italian. Loved it. We should be headed back to D.O.C.S again.

Well I’m finally hungry now, so I’m going to go hunt for food. Cross fingers for me!

I’m loving these pictures at the moment. I will post more when I’m back home.
