"Whatever" Street Mall
In Australia, they like to involve a street in a shopping mall. As word, part of the selected street is sealed combining opposite shop lots to be a shopping mall like below picture. So no vehicle is allowed to drive thru the street. The purpose is to allow consumer could access shop around freely.

House Auction Experience
Because of a friend, I companied her to a house auction to earn money. Let me explain, its a mobile phone Apps "Field Agent" that only accessible by Iphone. Something like survey company pay for people to help on them.
Okay, back to topic. What would you think about a house auction. For me it must be inside a hall and auctionee will chair the price and slide show about the house something like that, isn't it. However, its a bit different that in Australia, it is conducted at the real house.
So, before the auction, participator allow to walk in the house for inspection and have a rough idea about the house and prices. When the time for price, all will gather at the front house, and auctionee will use his loud voice to chair the auction. I enjoy the show like although it do it casually but actually is talking about million dollar.
I can't really describe how was it but it really awesome to participate.

Indulgent Melbourne
Almost end of my journey in Australia. Between Sydney, Perth and Melbourne, Melbourne is the my favourite city throughout the whole vacation.
Maybe I came here right before Christmas, the city is warm enough by surrounding with christmas atmosphere. I am deeply indulged by the city. Caucasion here are stressless, hence people in this city looks more beautiful. It's pace faster than Perth but slower than Sydney which just nice to me. Honestly, lifestyle in Perth is far more layback to the other two city, that's why handsome and pretties are everyway in Perth which quite comfy to my eyes. Same as in Melbourne, handsome and pretties are everyway which live in a more happening city.
Without a specific planning, I just did my vacation casually by following my mood and feeling. So fateful that Melbourne is my Christmas and New Year city in Australia. Maybe is because of didn't work in this vibrant city so I can fully relax and enjoy the city.
Melbourne is a brilliant city which full of graffiti street. Can't really explain the reason, but those graphic on the wall are really perfectly match to the city. This is how Melbourne could court my heart.
Apart of graffiti street, Melbourne is famous with coffee. Coffee is not my favourite. But most of friends who are stayed in both city of Sydney and Melbourne, they comment the same thing that Melbourne coffee is better. Mainly is because of barista in Melbourne is higher quality according to them.So, is a must to try a cup of coffee in Melbourne even coffee is not your cup of tea.
For some reason, I locked out of my apartment on the second day of Melbourne. Sound bad yet I have nothing to rush, so I walked to nearby park to have a look. Sky was getting dark and weather was getting cold as well, I chose to enjoy crepe in a restaurant to escape from the cold and kill time.
However, after hours, the restaurant was about to close too, so I got no choice that have to wait my friend right infront of the apartment as my phone out of battery as well.
Although felt awful but still okay, not that cold after the dinner so it was a quite comfy waiting period for me. I saw people and car passed by one by one until two caucasions were coming. What so special about them was they were screaming to each other at the opposite road, frankly they scared me but I try to ignore them and been caution. The nearer guy as I expected talked to me when he passedby, I can see he was drunk as he was holding a bottle of beer. Was trying to be polite, I answered his question as I scared if I ignored him totally, he will angry about my arrogant.
Luckily, they passed by without any dangerous happen. However after some while, the one talked to me came back and tried to help me via very polite manner, so I accepted his helping. We catched up a while and we kept in touch for weeks. I like him as a friend. He enrich my time in Melbourne. I will definately miss him after I back to my country.
Hopefully I can back here for another vacation but I knew that I won't do this as I believe that to keep a place beautiful forever in mind, you shouldn't visit again that give a chance to spoilt it.
I am sure I'm gonna miss the city after the vacation.
