Melbourne, Victoria
Melbourne is my favourite city of Australia. I was there yesterday and my trip was a fruitful one. I met up with a family member, chatted over fish and chips at the Crown Casino.
I also spent the day, walking from Crown to DFO, next to Southern Cross Station where I did some shopping. I am very impressed with Melbourne's contemporary and Victorian achitectures that co-exist harmoniously. I walked along Bourke Street, had lunch at QV Centre, Melbourne Central and headed to Swanston Street to cross the Yarra River to reach Crown. It was a big circle I made. I always crave for the Japanese hand roll ( I would recommend Sukiyaki Beef, definitely!) whenever I'm in any Australian city. It's really delicious and it's very Australian I thought.
I am certainly looking forward to another Melbourne trip for which I plan to conquer The Edge, which is part of Eureka and visit the Immigration Museum. Already, I have missed a rare Guggenheim exhibition at National Gallery of Victoria. What a waste, truly.
