Melbourne

After a grueling 8 hours of flight , we have finally arrived in Melbourne. As this was my first trip to Melbourne, i was fully anticipating the joy of studying and growing up in this foreign contry. However, the moment I landed in Melbourne , there was a delay which was causing a human traffic jam in airplane. Furthermore, Melbourne airport ( the arrivel gate area) is not equipped with an elevator nor a lift , as a result, we all had to hand carry our heavy hand luggage from the plane all the way to the place where you collect those checked- in lugagge area. .. What a miserable start off ! Fortunately, we manage to pass through the custom after declaring all the medicines and all sort of so called " forbidden " goods. Thank god , everything went all right in this department. A lady, all by her own, was questioned and almost her entire luggage was ransacked.... my my.... Well, what to do , she brought fresh lemons which is part of the forbidden goods.

Before I go on to elaborate on my first day in Melbourne itinery, I just want to tell you more about MAS airline. Honestly , I am deeply impressed by the improvement which they made. I actually get to watch movies in the airplane , whats more is that some of those movies are not even screen yet in Malaysian cinemas. Speaking of that, we are actually allowed to choose them from 93 channels and since I am a TV addict, I was like watching and eating and eating and trying to stay awake at the same time. OOoooo... speaking of food.... mm mm. Their main course wasn't exactly pleasent, I ordered steamed chicken with vege but the dessert and breakfast were commendable. They actually served us MAGNUM ice -cream for dessert and super chocolatety muffin for breakfast, not bad right . HAHA.

Well, that's all for now , I will report more on my days in Melbourne in future. By the way, readers pls give me some advice on which subjects should i take - French or Japanese ?
