The land of Oz.. Redux

Aussie is such a great place to go.


I haven't felt so relaxed in a damn long time.

There's something about the lifestyle there...



Although i slept on the couch for 6 days, it just feels better. Maybe its the air. Not so humid, and cooler. Was getting warm as i was leaving though. ah well. Timed my visit juuuust right.




Melbourne city abounds with vitality, the streets vibrant with colour. In many senses of the word. In my opinion, the population of Melbourne seems to be 50% Asian... i see as many chinese people as there are caucasians. Beware all... We are taking over the world!!! YELLOW POWER!!!





(no racial supremist comment intended no racist remark insinuated.)


Highlights...

Funky stuff at the markets and bazaar... Including cookies so good that they smile when you smile at them... (A little unnerving...)

<-- From The Arts Centre Sunday Market. Anyway the Aussies really know how to make pastries... cakes, cookies, you name it, they have it... And they do it good. More than good. Mouthwateringly good...






If you have a chance to visit the Great Ocean Road and you don't, you ought to be shot. Simply amazing. More informative for the Geography students amongst us, but its a marvel of the modern world. Nature's raw beauty astounds. Breathtaking and stunning. The 12 Apostles, London Bridge, Loch Ard Gorge... Unforgettable. The most common view of the 12 Apostles-->
Bitch. For some reason, blogger is refusing to let me put that photo up. will come in next post.



Next marvel, the Little Penguins of Philip Island. Actually, its just a daily ritual where the penguins will come to land to roost for the night. However, humans being consumnate voyeurs and unable to resist a look at cute young things, decided to build a viewing platform to earn money off the cuteness of the Little Penguins. (And it works. KAWAII!!! Those penguins are damn cute.)

<--- This is an actual sign on the island...



More in next post!
