I purposely
chose 10/10/10 this special date for my flight 21 months ago, it’s indeed easy to
be remembered and memorable. In fact, I couldn’t recall anything special happened
to me on 11/11/11 but definitely I want a fabulous day on coming 12/12/12.
There will not be any 13/13/13, 14/14/14, 15/15/15……etc. Therefore, do cherish the
very final remarkable day this year J
I arrived in
Melbourne International Airport early in the morning. Took a deep breath at the
exterior, I felt moderately cool during that spring. It was all fine for me
though. I then took a Sky Bus leaving airport to Melbourne CBD.
I stayed in
the King Street Backpackers which is pretty closed to Southern
Cross Station. An old friend from my hometown was in Melbourne too for her
business and vacation trip by chance. Consequently, I was excited to call her to
meet up. She actually has a brother who lives there. I was glad that they came
to my hostel and picked me up to visit their place, on my first day in
Australia.
I had a long
talk mainly with my friend. I was told that her brother is a chef in a hotel.
That night, he cooked a decent dinner for us …yummy lasagna!

We continued our chatting at the balcony after the dinner, enjoying the night view of surroundings. After promising to see them again the next day, I left their house.
The next day
before I met them again, I grabbed the chance to walk around in the city. So
far I knew the Queen Victoria Market is one of the popular places that travelers
would like to pay a visit. I went there. There are so many things to see, buy
and spend money. Well, it’s not a bad idea to buy from there if you are looking
for some inexpensive souvenirs. So many unique styles and choices of
merchandise those vendors could offer.
Two features
in Melbourne that attracted me the most are the architecture and the tram
transport. They
make this city a stunning place to visit!
