Melbourne Trip

I'm back from Melbourne! I'm so tired now.. The train ride back was a bitch.. Next time I'll either fly or get a sleeper compartment..
The first day, we were heading to the airport for our flight to Melbourne, and because of the heavy traffic, some of us couldn't reach the airport in time and we missed our flight! this is the first time in my life that I missed a flight.. Luckily the people there let us get on a later flight at no extra charge.. really felt like I was in the Amazing Race.. haha..
Melbourne is a nice city but I think I would still prefer Adelaide.. The first thing I noticed in Melbourne was that the pace of life was a little faster than Adelaide wonder how I will cope when I'm back in Singapore! haha.. The people in Melbourne were walking faster than us and everywhere we went we were like 'swakoos'.. We were like, 'Wah here got HMV!!', 'Wah here got Starbucks!!!' or generally, 'WAH!!!!'
Also met up with Jiahui who brought me around to eat Thai food.. the food in Melbourne is not bad.. especially the Gelati!! haha.. Had it 4 out of the 5 days i was there..haha just like when we were in Germany and we bought gelati everytime we passed by the shop no matter how cold the weather was.. We also tried the Metre long pizza they had in one restaurant.. it was not too bad.. The Melbourne Comedy Festival was also on and we wanted to watch it but didn't in the end cos there was no time.. and they were showing Mamma Mia too which I missed in Singapore.. hope they come to Adelaide..
The transport in Melbourne is freaking ex.. so ex that even most of the locals don't pay for the trams.. We also didn't pay the full fare.. So we were always on the look out for the conductors.. We could have been fined 150 if we were caught.. haha... So if we saw them boarding the tram, we would get off the tram.. luckily we only encountered them once..
Another thing I learned during this trip was that it is a really really small world! everyone seemed to know someone else and they were all interconnected! Freaky!
On the last day we saw Max Brenner's!! haha went to have the suckao and the chocolate souffle.. really miss Max Brenner's man.. and the milk for their suckao is free flow! spent a really long time there.. haha..
Before catching the train back to Adelaide, we visited the casino.. Now I know why gamblers keep on going back for more.. It's quite addictive! And also casinoes make shitloads of money! haha.. Went around the tables looking at people winning and losing money.. After that went to the train station for the uncomfortable ride back to Adelaide.. Pictures soon!
