Richmond
Tuesday, 10 July 2007
Time to explore another part of Melbourne. Well, acually i've been to Richmond 2 years back and its quite a nice place to shop so i decided to go take a look at some of the factory outlets to see if i can get any good bargains.
I came across this very interesting street name so I took a photo of it. Funny right?

I think everyone knows that i get hungry easily. hehe.. so we decided to fill up our tummies before we hit the shops. While waiting for the food to arrive, i took a pic of this cafe. There are many of such cafes in Melbourne and they are usually very cosy and most of them serve a couple of dishes that are unique to themselves.

If you walk along East Richmond, or many other places, you will see that there is a mixture of old and new architecture. Back in the 19th century, gold was found in Melb. It was then that immigrants from all over the world came to Melbourne to join in the gold rush. These old architecture design were also part of what the immigrants brought to Melb.
Those 'lines' that you see hanging above the ground are tram lines. Tram are one of the oldest public transport in Melb. They are also the 'biggest' in road transport cause when a tram approaches, cars, buses even padestrian has to give way to them.
After hours of shopping, i only bought a wallet at a shoes and bags factory outlet. We decided to stop by this cafe to have a cup of hot choc. Nothing beats having a warm cup of hot choc in hand during a cold winter day....
