No Japanese typing... nor reading here in Tongala.


Well, I said I shall go to MELBOURNE, that's not lie.


However actually where I am staying is 3 hours away from Melbourne.


This beautiful country town is called "Tongala" where my friend Carmen is.




First of all, I have to thank God, I believe he must love me!!


Because I could get the 3 VACANT SHEETS IN ROW!!!!!!!!


It made my FLT quite confortable. I could use 3 sheets so I did not need to recline my sheet having been scared by the man sitting behind me. Even I could use 3 pillow and blankets, you know. I believe that was the best FLT I've ever had.




After landing Melbourne Airport, Carmen came to pick me up and we spend a whole day together. ...Actually spent almost 1 day @ Melbourne Museum.


Well we went to her old church at first, then head to Melbourne Museum and the IMAX Theatre. The museum is way too good! If you are interested in Animals in Australia, or Geography, or Human beings, this museum is for you.


Also I believe it was great way to start my holidays in Australian Country. I could get to know the name of the animal which was hit on the road... oh my goodness.




After enjoying the Big Screen of IMAX Theatre (it was on Marine Biology... well actually it was like NHK documents on Ocean, but much more dinamic and so powerful), we had lunch @ Calton Street, it's a kind of Italian Town.


I had the BEST SEAFOOD PASTS I've ever had...




We dropped @ the Victorian Market before going back to the Museum. It was also interesting. Meat, meat, meat, meat.... and sausages...


Can you really eat that big lump of beef??? Seriously??????????




Back to the Museum, the rest of exhibisions were Australian history. How can I leave that? Anyways, it was a great day.






Today I spend with her daughter Jacqui, she's 21 years old girl.


We went to Murray River Boat Tour, and enjoyed the City of Echuca.


Echuca is quiet lovely city, just like I had Time Trip to the age of Gold Rush.




Me and Jacqui shall go on Horse Riding tomorrow... ta-ta now.
