Day 66

First time back in Perth city after 10 years away! It's been far too long.. Things have changed, yet haven't changed that much. Portmans and Sportsgirl (retail shops) are still in the same spot, so is Mr. Samurai (japanese restaurant) but the windows are covered up with japanese newspapers. The inside of Myers and David Jones (main department stores) all look nice and new, like they've been redone recently.

And most importantly, a very nice, efficient and fast train service and an underground train station that exits right into the heart of the shopping area! haha..

The weather has been crazy hot the last few days so having an underground train station is just too good, if only to escape the heat. There are a lot more expensive things here! Probably thanks to the mining boom and all the money flowing through..

Such a walk through my memories, I went to the Post Office Building and also a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream from Gelare's! Forrest Chase is still the same (haha)..and I felt like a young student again. It hasn't changed at all, I was a bit worried I'd come back and things would look old and yellow...but it's all still nice and new looking :) Happy :D

Day 38

Went surfing with Eric, went to mall to finish wrapping presents, then home. Then out shopping with Zain for more gifts, including a trip to Vinnie's (charity shop) for hopefully some gems, but none this time. A bit of a rush with watching Avatar but it was awesome! Drove down Gold Coast stretch at night.
