My Melbourne day 1 trip video is now available on YouTube.

I miss traveling with my sister, Joanne. We are the only singles left in the family and we really wanted to travel lots before we got tied down by other responsibilities. It was a lot of fun traveling with her to Melbourne, although the Scorpio had to do all the travel research.

It wasn’t the best time to visit Melbourne since it was late fall in May. But since my sister hadn’t experienced any cold weather, I thought it would be “cool” (cold to be exact) to show her autumn and finally she could wear jackets and boots that she wasn’t able to in Malaysia.

Joanne said to me before the trip that it was hard for her to imagine how she would feel living in 10C weather. As soon as we reached Melbourne, she could feel the coldness in her every cell. 🙂 haha.

We decided to go with Joy’s homestay which is located in Glen Huntly (20 minutes from the city by Metro tram). It was a little inconvenient to live in the suburb, but I really wanted to travel and to live the local way, so I chose homestay accommodation.

I’ve planned to do travel research online, so I was caught off guard to find out that there’s no internet in the house. Ooops!

So, I had to use other options: internet cafe, guide book, visitor center, or just ask the locals. 🙂

I loved how my sister and I just hung out, spent time together, to do whatever. It didn’t matter. Siblings are forever.
