Perth - Day One

Hi guys, just got back from a week of travelling in Perth and i'll be writing a few blog entries on the days i spent there. So here's the entry for first day that i spent there. Er, if you are looking for photos, i'm afraid you'll have to wait awhile till i processed them.

Before going any further, i like to give thanks to the people who made my stay there as wonderful as it can be. First on the list - Dy, for sharing whatever space he had with me, allowing me to save quite a fair bit on accomodations. Not only that, also for easing some of my transportation needs as well. =) Secondly to Dy's housemates and neighbours - Ga, Ri, Se, Ja, Fe, An. Really warm people with lots of laughters and joy. =)

Took a early 9 a.m. flight to Perth and on board the plane, had a good chat with an Aussie guy, presumably in his fifites, seated right next to me. Poor bloke was on his way back home from london and this was his transit flight back. Says he couldn't get to sleep on flight, so hadn't any rest the last 24 hours. Made worse by the fact that the inflight system was cranky on the plane before this, kept restarting. Decided to give up the entertainment. Whew... 13 hrs without inflight...

Landed very much on time but the customs took quite a while to clear though. It's really due to their strict quarantine measures but the officers did their best to ease the traffic and speed up the process. Cleared everything in less than an hour and was greeted by Dy rite at the gates. Not only that, i was greeted by lots of flies as well. It's a common thing in late spring and summer. Haha, they are pratically harmless, just that they keep buzzing around you.

Had my first meal in Perth and it's drive thru at Chicken Treat (a fast food restuarant). It's somewhat like KFC. By the way, they do have KFC there but according to Dy, it tastes sort of funny unlike the ones we enjoy back home. See that time was early after the snack we had, we headed down to Mill Point (which is along Swan River) for a skate. Hey guys, just to let you know - Perth's no place to skate and you got to really appreciate East Coast Park. The tracks at ECP's so much smoother.

Later in the nite, we headed to a chinese resturant in "Chinatown" for dinner and to celebrate Se's birthday as well. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

PS. Guys, I'll send you a disc with the rest of the photos i taken once i'm completely done processing them.
That's day one! =)
