melbourne

it's been 2 days since i arrived melbourne. i spent 9 hours on the way driving to here. we depatured from adelaide at around 3 pm and arrived 12 am. my 2ed time drive between adelaide and melbourne. there's a small town called murrary bridge located along the a8 high way, the boarder town of telling adelaide apart from melbourne. really nice place to visit: tranquil environment, gentle villegers and attractive sunset... anyway, it's the best attration out of the whole a8 journey. didnt take any piture of it because we were in a hurry about our long trip.

honestly, i started miss adelaide right after i arrived melbourne. not as quiet as adelade, not as friendly as adelaide, not as easy as adelaide... melbourne is really a big city, thus there are much more omplicated circumstances than adelaide. plus, much much more asian here than that in sa. really huge number of asian here, you can servive even you know nothing about english, because it probably take you quite a while to pop around through out the whole china town. one moe thing i have to mention: traffic. there is no difference about the heavy traffic load between melbourne and any other big city in the world. always get stuck durning the rush hours not only in city but sometimes also on high ways. additionally, roads in city center are very narrow, plus lots of high constructions lie beside, you will feel squeezed when driving between the feet of those big buildings. while in sa, all the streets are very wide and not so heavy-duty in the rush hours as melbourne does.

once i turned to my own business i'll feel frustrated. i did get the release letter from bradford but there is another problem lying in front of me, my visa. according to the related document, visa 573, what im engaged in at the moment, is specialised for uni student while tafe visa is 572, another grand of visa. so i must deal with my visa down grade before i go to tafe.

anyway, there're plenty of affairs need to be done before i go to the new institution.
