fifth day in the land of the roos...todae was a early day..started at bout 9 plus.woke up and went to the south melbourne market.the food there was fresher than fresh can be.the oyster that i had there was super fresh.could even taste the salt water inside the shell still.it was only 1 buck per shot.super nice.then after that we went for our grocery shopping.after buying all our stuff we went baq to prepare for our trip to the duty free outlet, aka factory outlet. but before that,we made the curry, more of that later.
went to hungry jacks (aka burger king), and then had an auzzie burger, coke, fries and a storm ice cream. the auzzie burger has the beef patty, bacon, egg, lettuce and beetroot [yuck]. the ice cream was something like a mcflurry.mine was cookies and cream with choc fudge innfused in it.
we thought that it was only the usual one unit so we decided to shop at the passing shops, where we, in passing, learnt that THE WHOLE PLACE WAS THE FACTORY OUTLET!!
that was where i got my levi's at like.80 bucks? and another pair of berms, original 80, down to 25. with a further 25% discount.do your math man. when we only went through half the mall, it was already 3 hours! so we decided to head off to st kildas (beach) but it was already sundown, and no pics could be taken..so we headed to get our roti prata. my uncle made the prata and cracked an egg on every prata and leaving 2 of the 5 as kosong. dipped in the curry, it was nicer than the ones we have at home. the chicken and potato only complimented the taste of the curry. now here i am, blogging. made a set of photos in flikr so its easier on the eyes. its

fourth day in the land of the roos...day started at 1045.ate breakfast at home and then went off to queen victoria market..on the way to the bus stop, we saw this group of kids performing tap dance.nice..it was like..10+ deg when went out. waited for the tourist shuttle (complimentary).THATS WHEN MY GLASSES TURNED UBER DARK.never before can.while waiting, this lady came up and commented on how she waited for the bus for 1 hour and it didnt come.then she kept asking if there was a number to call and she found it.asked if we had a phone to call.she kept wanting to call.i was like.hello.its free.complain what. want faster? take public bus or tram la. after waiting 15 mins, my mom called. then talked to her.after another 10 mins. we walked down to take the city tram, which is also paid for by the taxes..half way through, the driver made an announcement, that there has been a strike, and that they had to reverse the tram.so we didnt get to out desti. in the end, we had to take a tram, for 6 bucks, to the market..once we were there, we started to walk around and recee for prices..saw something i liked and walked around more.it was 12 bucks, but found it at another stall at 3 for 10 bucks!! went for lunch.had a giant auzzie styled burger..and a large choco milkshake.nicer than the once we have at home.the guy selling it was like.bratwrust! 6 dolla! you gimme 50 cent (he sounds just like russel peters), i give you drink! and that is cheap.a acan of coke can cost up to 4.50.
continued shopping after that.waited for the tourist shuttle again but this time, we didnt get the bus..again.i think its the drivers who are protesting. then we fed up, decided to walk to lygon street.its where the italian community in melbourne resides. my aunty also told me that in the olden times, its also where the mafia often had their clashes.while walking there, we passed this spanish donuts shop (churros) and we decided to buy 7.for 6 bucks.not bad leh.walked all the way to lygon and took quite a few photos on the way. when we got there, all the cafes were open for dinner.we were supposed to have lunch there, if not for the bus delays. btw, qv market closes at 3..so.yea. anyways.we walked the whole of lygon and saw woodfired cafes, woodfired heaters and traditional fire places.nice..went to see some shops too.SUPA ex.its bcus of a minumum wage policy the govt here enforces.to prevent underpayment. waited for my uncle to come pick us up and then went to buy the NICEST fish and chips in the whole of melbourne. went home to eat and then watched a movie, just like last night.
stupid helicopters.fly around ALL day.you think petrol free ah.LIVE EARTH!!!
okioki.gtg sleep.long day ahead..check out my flickr..its linked in the previous post and on the navi bar. loves.
