THANK YOU LI YING VERY VERY MUCH for bringing me around Canberra (not around but to Malaysia Embassy and City and Parliament House)... haha... And letting me stay at your place and your bed... Thanks so much! *although i kept complaining and criticizing your pathetic room and lifestyle... haha... but Thank you worth 99% and 1% complain....
Let's start with the 1st day I arrived canberra... the airport... haha...erm erm... i nvr expect to see Liying after walking a few steps from the plane. But Liying kept saying the new airport is under construction... haha...
this is her Fenner Hall - which is her room... i dunno what to say... haha... like prison... coz i never see a room with study table and wash face basin next to each other... i cant stop laughing when i enter her room... haha... luckily there's no toilet bowl in the room otherwise, it is really a cell in the prison...
but it is really super convenient... i was sitting on the chair and I brushed my teeth and washed face while sitting...
my 1st meal cooked from LiYing... i am so honored! haha... everyone around me is so into cooking korean foods... mayz, liying, my brother and his housemates etc... but it's nice....
this is where the whole fenner hall's people cook and eat... liying said 4ppl share a stove or a compartment... i also cant stop laughing at this place... haha....
they have locks for all the fridges... there are few rows of fridges with locks... even though got locks, liying's juice still got stolen... she didnt drink it at all but i got drink a cup and it was lost... she was so so so so fuming angry! haha...
their 'metcard' super cheap... 10 X 2hrs only ard 10bucks... whereas melbourne is around 30bucks?
pathetic pancake parlour... normally pancake parlours in melbourne got very nice shop and designs but theirs... and canberra like to use places' names as their road names or building names...
this is their bus interchange and city... i dont need to explain more and you can see how different is it from melbourne....
while waiting for the buses...
after KM-ssss of walking, then we reached this area whereby all embassies are located around here...
finally reach malaysia embassy... we never expect this building to be malaysia de coz liying said she once past by and it was quite terrible.... but it's not!!!!!!!!!!!! we were so shock to see such a nice one...
when is the last time we see this familiar flag?
liying spotted this one... 5bucks for nasi lemak and char kuew tiow... haha... apparently, there were made by one of the staffs there... almost everyone who went there will buy... but we did not... we should have try...
embassy of France is one of the most modern and clean one...
liying likes this embassy very very much... she said very romantic... she wanna stay there... but i'm not interested at all... haha...
and here's the most most most GRAND one... super big and there are a few guards outside and AFP patrol cars park around the area....
after handling my applications, i need to wait till 3pm then only can collect. So we toured the parliament house which is a must go place when you are in canberra, the capital of Australia....
after a few hours walking and no toilets around.... needless to say, toilets in the parliament house very nice, clean, spacious... haha...
i was caught while stretching...
the greeneries are more than buildings... very comfortable...
waiting for bus again... when is the last time i took a bus?
see this pathetic liying... her body lotion caused her whole body to itch...
from 730am all the way to 1pm, walking and walking and a little bus rides.... we finally went to eat lunch and most important, i recommended her energy drink... haha... dunno got use or not... coz we always see that drink in TV... haha....
and finally, i got my passport!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whoooooooooooo.... but i wont show the inside coz the pic really ugly! liying said my previous and new photo in the passport seems like i had BOTOX!!!!!!!
this is their highway at 3pm... if it's in melbourne, the roads are filled with cars and lorries... but none in canberra... we crossed the highway like nobody business...
we crossed forests and rivers and many obstacles to go back to the main road... haha...
this is fenner hall... haha... liying stayed in level 1...
i already wanna go back melbourne badly after the 2nd day... haha...
anyway, thanks liying! come melbourne every holiday... be exposed to the real world... haha...
