it's a note i typed for Irene few minutes ago. maybe someone wants it as well. it's Melbourne in my eyes. if u have some opinion, plz tell me!

why do i love Melbourne? cuz the buildings, the people, the air, everything. even the same places, with different people, it's another face for me. sometimes u can see the street performers. some are powerful, some are weird, some are funny, some are... 

======================================================

some information about Melbourne

first, go to information centre on Federation Square. take a paper called "Inner City Map and Transport Guide" with u. this map is useful. then u must know two "free" public transportaion. one is circle tram and the other is "Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle".

in CBD, u can go to Queen Victoria Market. on Wednesday, there's a night market only in summer. if u like to drink coffee, u can try some on a small street between Swanston Street and Victoria Street. don't forget to go "into" VIC State Library. go for the roof. when u travel by the free shuttle, u can go to Lygon Street. it's an Italian Street. i didn't have enough money to try the food there, only tried some ice-creams. do u like museums or gallaries? lots there! go for it! at night, u can walk on Yarra River and go to Crown Casino. it's the biggest one on the Southern Hemisphere.

on Sunday, u can take the train to Camberwell Station. there's a secondhand market. after this market, u can go to the Italian Restaurant, Sofia, for lunch. then u can take a tram to Chapel St.. it's between South Yarra Station and Windsor(maybe i typed wrong word) Station. u can see many wonderful stuff made by local designers or u can find some secondhand stuff with lovely price. if u think u finish window shopping, u can take a tram again to St. Kilda Beach. u can see penguins there. sunset as well. BTW, near St. Kilda Beach, there's a Sunday Market as well (maybe until afternoon)

if u want some different cloths or u want to see something different, u can go to Brunswick Street and Smith Street. on the streets, there're many designers' stores and cafe.

take a train to Brighten Beach and u can see so many colorful houses. the beach is not beautiful but the houses are cute.

of course u should go to Phillips Island for Little Penguins and go to Great Ocean Road for Twleve Apostles. if u can find a lift or go with some backpackers, it's cheap. u also can go by day tour. there're many tour agencies in CBD.

if u find some great places, plz tell me cuz i'd love to go there again and again! :) enjoy!
