Wanderlust:Aching Feet n Persistent Flies

gina n i arrived in melbourne at 9.45am. we were supposed to arrive at 8.10 but there was a flight delay. it was a bright sunny day here in melbourne, except that it's windy, n it's cold. both gina n nana assured me that it's not cold. well, for me it is.

nana's apartment is next to subway restaurant. unfortunately tho, eventho the smell is sooo inviting, we cant just simply walk in n buy sandwiches there. i can hear the toll of the tram's bell ringing as it rolls by, n it's kind of weird to see mat salleh instead of malaysians. melbourne is not a busy city like KL. it's the antithesis of KL. nana said they r more interested in creating a family-oriented soicety that leads a slow-paced life. so u dont see a lot of cars around, altho' once or twice u'll hear the screeching of tyres. we took the tram n went to the Federation Square, where there is an art gallery. found that i'm not really into arts. cant understand y one considers squares of yellow n orange n black as the corruption in human's life..bla bla bla...we went to the Royal Botanical Garden next...n walked n walked...n god knows how long we walked.... i thot i was losing my feet. i noticed that there r a lot of flies around. n they r more persistent than their malaysian cousins. just imagine around 10 flies kacauing us... after stopping by the supermarket (australian version of Giant) n buying some groceries, we went back n had dinner.
