Day 11, 3 June 09
Today was a shopping day! I was in Melbourne for 6 days, and sad to say that the sightseeing only took a day, while the other 5 were all about shopping!
The beautiful morning was a good enchanter, as it made me smile :)
Nice view from YP's room
Before starting the battle of the day, we fed ourselves at a Korean restaurant, Kimchi, which was just a stone's throw from the condominium.
Bibimbap
Teriyaki Chicken
Then, we purchased the one-day pass and took the train from Glenferrie to Flinders Street station.
Flinders Street Station, a nice historical building
Tram
After walking around at that area, we took the tram to Smith Street. There were a few factory outlet stores, but the variety was not very promotive. I only managed to buy 2 blouse, from Roxy and Nike. Then, we went to DFO, Direct Factory Outlet located at Spencer Street. This was the place where we spent the rest of our day. Shopping was time consuming, as we had to choose, try it on, try it on again, and pay. It would be worse if the item we chose didnt fit, and the process would probably repeat continuously. HY bought a lot, while I only bought a Guess blouse. It was a tiring day, at about 4pm, I had my snack bite at the cafe alone, while HY and RT were still busy hunting for their preys. We left at about 5.30pm, as all the shops were closed at this time.
We had our dinner at China Town. I ordered a bowl of dumpling soup, but actually the mixed-soup taste nicer, though it was cheaper. Late at night, we moved on to Crown Casino located at the Southbank. We wanted to take a glance of the casino, but too bad, I were asked to show my IC, and I didnt bring it along. This was definitely a compliment :) So we ended up visiting the shopping arcades instead.
Crown Casino
Mountains of cakes~~~
Romantic Yarra Prom
The ever famous ceremony outside Crown Casino
Flinders Station, late at night, very cold... And finally, it was time to go home, and I was exhausted!!!
