Night Market & After 10 days in Melbourne

My friends and I went to the night market yesterday. It was crowded as it was the last day of the event. It was also the 1st time I had seen so many Australian in 1 place. The atmosphere is exactly like Singapore's but the feeling is kind of different. Food was the main topic of the night market here, there are food stalls from Dutch, German, Greek...etc, selling their country's famous cuisine. There is also a vegetarian stall, their banner is a picture of a Buddha with the word 'The vegetarian man'! What do u think!

It has been 10 days since I arrived in Melbourne, been getting use to the life here! Some of the different things, I have notice is that the civil servant is very, I mean VERY committed to their job. Everytime you walk past a carpark, you will most likely get to see a conductor checking parking ticket. I have also heard that if you play soccer in a park without booking it, the park ranger will chase you away!

1 other thing I have notice is that there are no cats here! Not even 1! Apart from that there is the tram which is a new thing to me. I have not ride on 1 yet but the spark it created everytime it pass through one of its circuit nodes at the cable on top of the tram, never stop to amused me.

Some of the things are cheaper here, like 1 large pizza cost just $9! A fruit bar cost just $3..etc, ofcourse, there are things that are more expensive. There is also Chinatown not far from where I live. All the places are within 'walking distance'. It is like you are doing 1-4km road march everyday! Bet my leg muscle are stronger now.

Joke Per Post (If I Remember)
Mexican American War

During the Mexican/American war, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances. Finally, an American general had a bright idea.
He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled "Hey Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied "What?"
The general shot him dead. This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out "Hey John!!"
An American replied "John isn't here......is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah!"...
