Day 1;On the first day I thought I’d get lost at the city. I got to the station and met Lauren & her mum [Karen] there. Karen was worried about Lauren & me being in a group alone so she talked to Mrs O’Brien. Mrs O’Brien said we could go with Caroline, Jarra & Rebecca – which was good because we’re friends with them & with them we wouldn’t get lost. Their way smart.We went on the 9:02 train to the city.We caught the city circle tram to the Docklands, it smelt so badly. Like fish & polluted water – blah. We answered some questions then walked around for a bit, we found THE BEST ice-cream shop. Ever. Then we just walked around & browsed the shops until it was time to go.Then we went back to Flinder’s and went home.Day 2;On the second day we met at the station and caught the same 9:02 train into the city. But we got off at
Richmond, because we were going to see the MCG that day. I didn’t like it. It was the most boring thing I’d done all week. Blah. Then we got hungry so we went to the food court. All the food was Asian & most of it had meat. But I found some [vegetarian] fried noodles. Then we got thirsty, so we bought boost juice. YUM ^___^So we started walking to the
Rialto, we didn’t know what to do, but we knew that the
Rialto is huge, so we walked toward the biggest building we could see. And when we got near it we asked someone if we were going the right way, and we were.
We had to talk to the person at the register for ages, because I don’t think she believed we go to Croydon. When we finally got in the elevator it was woah. Gravity, much?The view was okay. Not too exciting but not bad. Lauren & I lost Caroline, Jarra & Rebecca, but we found them. So we left to go to
China
Town. It was so boring. Me & Lauren went into a shop for a while and Caroline & crew went to another shop.Then we went back to Flinder’s and went home.Day 3;On the third day I was getting used to being at the city all the time, but it was the last day. I brought some extra money for the Queen Victoria Market.We caught the train to the city & went to the Ian Potter Gallery. I didn’t like that much either. I don’t have a thing against art but a lot of it was just Australian crap. Which bores me.
Australia is boring. Blah. And we weren’t allowed to take photos of the ones we like.We had nifty little chairs that we carried around though, they were so cute.After the gallery, we went to the Crossways vegetarian restaurant. FINALLY a vegetarian restaurant. I was so reluctant about eating it though. The food looked horrible. When I got to the counter I asked the guy that was serving if all the food was vegetarian and he goes “yes. Is that a problem?” like in a ‘you meat-eating bitch’ way. And I was like “no. I’m a vegetarian…” and he was like “That’s so cool!” and he gave me a FREE vegetarian cook book. Jealous?The food was sooooooo nice. And if I go to the city again anytime soon I wanna eat there.After that we went to the Queen Victoria Market, Lauren & I were looking around for about an hour. We were going to buy two shirts, one each. Two for $20. But they said some um…things that our parentals wouldn’t like.We found some ducks. And chickens. And I decided I wanted one. So I called my dad and he didn’t answer. So I called Granpa and asked. He said no. So I kept asking until he got mad & hung up on me. Dad called me back and I asked him & he said yes. I bought a duck. And I named him Rodney. He’s sooooooo attractive♥. Even though Granpa killed me when I got home.After the market we went back to Flinder’s station. And went home.
