Arrival

16th July 2009, it is my day to fly to Melbourne.

After 7 hours flight on the plane, I reached to Melbourne International Airport finally. I spent more than an hours in the airport including passed the custom (make sure declare sort of products listed on the travel list card honestly, it is not hard to proceed the security custom if u have provided with clear and sufficient information). After pass through the check point, I bought a local telephone card immediately from Vodafone. It cost me AUD9.95 for the starter kit and AUD29 as top up credit. However, the actual credit contains in the phone card is AUD150 + AUD10 from starter kit (kind of marketing strategy to attract more users??). I took the Skybus from Melbourne International Airport to the Melbourne Central (domain interchange btw tram, bus and train) in city, then transit hostel Skybus to my hostel at Russel Road, Victoria Hall Hostel (All in one cost with AUD16 p/p). It was almost 10pm when time I have arrived to hostel. It was too late for dinner. I bought a hotdog from 7-11 to fulfill me stomach (such a poor and cold night to me).

** What I saw in the Melbourne street?
There are multi races in the street especially Chinese. Instead of saying Malaysia is multi races, I think Australia is much more races than Malaysia.
