-  There is a tall big stone with all the major supermarket name in the shopping centre.

We are not shopaholic, therefore when we talk about shopping I can’t write much.  I will write less word in this post, but focus on an incident that I saw right in front of the McDonald at Westfield.

-Black, White, Red and Gray.  A Special design and colour combination.

-  Can you see the overbridge?  I will blog about it in the coming posts.

-  Another Entrance.

-  Car Park.

-  This board specify the Term of entry and exclution of liabilty.

-  ”Please come again.”  … …We had come again and again within 3 days while we were in Perth.

Here comes the stories.  Can you see a red-shirt kid standing in the middle of the road?  Do you know what was he doing?  Besides him, I found a few of other kids sitting beside the road holding something in their hands.  I asked myself what are they going to do?  Were they going to fight with each other?  The answer is not.  They are cleaning the glass on cars while the drivers were waiting for the red light to turn green.  The drivers pay some tips to the kids.  It is a method to earn a living as a kid.

Not to be racist, but the kids have a dark skin, can someone explain why?  Is there any white-skin kids doing this as well?  I am just curious.

-  This camera house is located across a strees beside the parking lots of Westfield.  We just passed by and don’t have enough time to pay it a visit.  If have time, I would like to check if they are selling the step up ring for my camera.

We went to a shop calls Australian Geographic in city that sells a lot of interesting things, including telescope, microscope, kangaroo, and fun games for kids and many about Australia.  We hope we can spend more time there.

We walked a lot along the Albany Highway (around Cannington) because that was the area where we stayed for 3 days.  We walked to the “nearest” shopping area  called Westfield or Carousel Shopping Centre several times within 3 days to have our stomach filled and bought the SIM card for SiewPeng’s sister.

As I mentioned in the last post, while we were walking compared to sitting in a vehicle, the scope of vision is limited but we can see a lot of the details.  I had taken a lot of photos along the road while we were walking - the bus stands, the street sign, trees, roads, buildings and even the traffic lights.  The photos will be the records of my eye sights.

-The bus stand was made of transparents glass to block the wind during the winter but allow the waiting passengers to see if the bus is coming.

I enjoyed the cool air while we were walking but when the tiredness come we had to find alternative transports.  The taxi fare is not cheep, but there is another option, we can take the bus.  Yes, these are how the bus stand looks like.

-  Each bus stop is labelled with a number, and there is a detail time table to tell that which bus and the time they are coming.  There is an SMS number to request the time of the next coming bus to the bus stop, we have tested the SMS and it worked .

-  I like to see this types of  slim and tall tree.

-  The divider between road was decorated with rocks and plants.

There was a type of smell on the street that I can’t describe using words.  It is similar to the smell I got in Toowoomba many years ago.  I guess it was the smell from certain trees or plants that I cannot get in Malaysia.  Yes, I have a sensitive nose.

I believe we were the only walker on the road because we did not see other people walking there but I did see a cyclist.

-  A brown road sign.  The stand is brown, its wording is also in brown, and the border of the board are in brown too.

-  Another type of road sign in blue and white with advertisements on it.

On Saturday evening, we had our first walk that took only 15 minutes because we walked quite fast.  When we see the overbridge, we know the shopping mall was not far ahead.

On Sunday morning, the traffic was not jam.  We walked again to McDonald to have our breakfast, and hash browns were our only choice.   There is a free wireless internet connection in the McDonalds, SiewPeng’s sister was using a laptop to get online and updating her blog, while it was my turn to check our blog, the laptop goes to hibernate mode because run out of battery power.  That’s why there was no update while we were in Perth.  The Carousel Shopping Centre was not openned on Sunday.  After having our breakfast in McDonald, we proceed to the train station to visit the Perth city.

Do you know what is the meaning of “Bus No. 11″?  It means walking on foot. :p

While we were walking on the street I was the slowest because I walked, stoped, snapped photos, run to catch up with them, and repeat the process again and again.  Luckily they did not walk too fast, otherwise I won’t be able to catch up.

-  On the way to the train station, we walked pass this building.  It looked like a combination of shop and residential house.

If I am not mistaken, the price of petrol in Australia keep on changing all the time, unlike we have a fixed rated for months in Malaysia.  Wow, AUD$1.17  is about RM3, the petrol price is quite expensive in Australia compare to Malaysia.  No wonder the taxi fare is so expensive there.

-  The blue, white and red mini flags combines to become a big flag look attractive.  It is a place that sell cars which is just next to our hotel.

-  There are a lot of car sellers along the Albany Highway.

We took quite a lot of taxi in Perth which means one of the major expenses was on transport.  Next time, we plan to rent a car, cheaper, no need to wait, and we can go freely to anywhere.  The roads in Perth are not as complicated  as I thought.  A GPS(Global Positioning System) will be enough to guide the direction.

These two pictures are taken while we were on a taxi, as you can see these is reflextion on the car windows.

-  I found a pole with an advertisement on it.  ”I buy houses CASH” and a telephone number.  Don’t you think this is a type of pollution?  I believe it is not serious in Australia.  In Malaysia, almost every electric box on the busy streets are sticked with loan shark promotion.

I did not expect that I revisited Australia again so soon after I came back from my study.  I don’t either know when will be the next time I will visit Australia agian.  May be I might reconsider to apply for PR?  I am still considering… …
