6 months probation means I cant go anywhere far during this period. I shouldnt complain actually.. should take this time to rest, relax, and clear all my travel related posts. (Update: i can start taking leave after september already hehe)

The more time I think I have, the lesser time I catered for myself to rest. Why am I so weird.. maybe its like how they say, I am too used to having too much on my plate and when I have the time to rest, I get into a panic attack. LOL.

So here we are, officially starting on my Melbourne posts! Oh god I love travelling so much! 😀

Landed into Melbourne Tullamarine Airport after our 6hours plus flight with scoot.

We walked out and saw this ePassport self service machine and wonder if we should queue for it too. It is our first time there and we really don’t know what to do. Lol.

So tourists being tourists, we followed the other people since we got ample time to spare.

Thank god we queued here because its like a fast lane for us. Once we insert our passport into the machine.. which is abit like singapore airport.. we will get a ticket to let us pass through another exit.

We continued walking without our jacket because it is not that cold YET inside the airport.

Welcome to Melbourne!

Anything else after that is self explanatory and since I am not allowed to snap any photos inside.. im gonna skip this part. :p

I was so excited because it was my first time to Aussie. You are the happiest if there’s no expectations!

It was spring in November and we were super cold. The wind is the killer I tell you. We were already shivering the moment we stepped out of the airport.

Our first stop is of course our airbnb, and to get there we have to get to the city first.

To get to the city, we had to take skybus. The counter is just outside the airport, and we bought the tickets (AUD56 for 2pax) and wait for our bus. It is pretty fast, if Im not wrong theres one every 10 minutes.

It was a 30-45 mins journey to southern cross station.

A cafe at the station! Didnt order any drinks here because we have like a week to try really good coffee from elsewhere!

Then we need to get a card for public transportation. Please keep all these cards for future use. A pity this cannot be used for other Places, only Melbourne.

Just sitting here and eating my burger I already know I will love this place. Doing this post makes me miss Melbourne but I miss Japan even more. 😀 Can’t wait to go back this year end again! I just realized that March is the only month that I haven’t traveled this year 😮 no wonder I feel so tired and I feel like I don’t have enough time to catch up on blogging.

I am so sorry that I haven’t update as regularly as before.

Now I got the next 3-4months to rest, I just wanna covered 8 more places first then will rest more so I can save more to go further 😀 I am very sad that I missed the chance to go Korea in September but it’s okay, my luck is good. More opps will come. hahaha. I have already psychoed Simon to go with me next year. He say OKAY!! YAY! FYI he don’t really like korea.

Anyway alot of people have been asking if my trips are all sponsored. They are not okay. LOL and I am proud to use my own money.

This is just the start of the many posts to come and I shall stop here and continue in the next post. I haven’t edit my videos for Perth and Japan too. oh well. SOON!! 😀

Till the next,
