This is going to be another photo dump. I find it easier to just dump the photos here and slowly reminisce and fill in the captions. This way, I can churn out posts faster.
Ok the actual truth is, I’m really lazy and I really wanna write about our recent Japan trip while the memories are still fresh in my 37 years old, sleep deprived brain. Sorry.
The following photos span 3 days where we kinda only go one place per day, this is our definition of a relaxing trip. Don’t rush, keep calm, walk slowly (my pace might not be slow at all, Claire scolds me all the time). Anyways, here comes the dumping:
Melbourne buildings were decorated with graffiti and murals, I think they were very nice, adding a unique vibe to the streets, here’s me trying to get Claire to look cool in the photo. What’d you think? LOL.ArtsyYoung Urban CreativeIn contrast, this cobble stone street would’ve been very nice minus the trash and disorganized graffiti.Late lunch at St.ALi’s. Finally, great flat white in the coffee capital of Australia.
The next day, we went to Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden up in the Dandenong ranges. Called an uber and it cost us approximately A$90 and 40mins for a ride from the city.
Totally worth it

And on the last day, we went on a trip riding on the historic Puffing Billy. It was said that everyone growing up in Melbourne would have ridden it at least once in their lifetime. Much like all Singaporean have been to the Singapore Zoo at least once in their lifetime. Hmm, doesn’t seem like a fair comparison. Well you get the point, don’t you?
And with that, we end our journey in Melbourne. It was a short trip, but totally fulfilling. Our minds filled with new experiences and our souls rich with precious memories. We woke up super early to catch our flight, good thing we chose to stay close to the Southern Cross Station. Airport bus was really convenient. Bye now Australia, thanks for hosting us.
