Nothing much happened during the 3 days my mummy and cousin were with me. We went to the city everyday though, as it is walking distance from the hotel. They call the city Perth, just like our Orchard Road, and it's mainly buildings and more commercial buildings, and a couple of major shopping malls (David Jones, Myer), which are rather similar to our Isetan or Paragon. There are lots of shops along the street in an open concept manner, than shops in multi-storeys malls.

And there's this really interesting area called London Court, which is so Harry Pottery!
Shall take a picture of it next time.



One of the things I love about Perth is that the sky here is really clear. The "blue sky and white cloud" can get quite breath taking at times.

And not to mention, there are really lovely purple leaves trees here!

Christmas was approaching then, so the Christmas decors can be seen everywhere.

Oh. I must certainly mention that you can hop on and off the buses for free, as long as you're travelling within the city zone. And they have these CAT buses, which service just the city area for free.

On my first Monday in Perth, we decided to make a trip down to Fremantle. Took the railway for the first time, and it's rather interesting!

It's quite confusing at first, as there are multiple platforms, and you have to take the escalator up and down, to the other platforms.

Another confusing thing is purchasing the ticket. They have "zones" and you have to choose which one you're going to, and stuff like that. But once you get the hang of it, it's really simple. And just so you know, taking the railway here is more expensive compared to home!

A trip from Perth to Fremantle (somewhat like from CCK to Orchard), for an adult, is A$3.20. And you don't even have the $1 refund!

So the next time SMRT announces that they're upping the price, I'll keep my mouth shut.
*zip*

Their railway maps are rather similar aren't they?

On the way to Fremantle, the sceneries are great.
Blue sky, the water, the houses.

We didn't do or see anything at Fremantle, because it's only bustling on the weekend!
We didn't know about that, but still decided to head down anyway.
So we ended up at one of the mall there, just idling away.
Hahaha.

My mummy and cousin were supposed to be flying off at night, but they decided to change their flight to the next afternoon, so that they can spend half a day more with me.
Aww...

Sitting there at the hotel lounge with them, while waiting for their cab to pick them up to the airport, makes me feel so down. How I wish I could fly off with them!

After they're gone, I spent a night all alone in the hotel, before heading off to the homestay the next morning.

But that, will be another entry!
