Last days in Victoria (3-5 Sep 07)

Monday, 3 Sep 07
Many people talks about Krispy Kreme... what is that?? Some friends asked me to try, even I received a sms from a friend to buy a dozen doughnuts for her... Woah.......
Last year, during our trip to Sydney, my cousin bought these doughnuts and said very famous at that time in Sydney. As far as I remember, I did not have a great impression of its tastes. Since so many people asked me to buy and try it again, my boss' wife brought me to Chadstone to get it and bring back to Singapore.
The variations quite many... the price is very expensive compared with the price in Singapore or Indonesia. Original cost me A$2.25, with topping A$2.50, and if with filling A$2.75. But.............. if you really like doughnuts, you can buy 1 dozen and the price is slaughtered into half.. yes.. HALF. One dozen of original only A$13.95, Assorted A$16.95 (gila gak tuh!!!).
For the sake of friends... I bought back 4 dozens......
(ooppsss.. before forget, now in Victoria, you can get it from Turramarine airport also, no need to go to city to buy it).

From Chadstone, on the way back to Hoppers Crossing, we stopped by at Altona, Cherry Lake and Williamstown to enjoy the scenery and sunset as pictures below.

In the morning, by train I went to Melbourne city to meet up with my new friend, Mutiara at her office. I am so glad to find a new friend again... Blog is really wonderful..... Since she needs to work and I also need to go QVM, we only met for only about 15 min. But... we'll meet again next time.. either in Singapore or Melbourne... Nice to know you, Mutiara..

From Mutiara's office, I noticed that on the roadmany people carry cabin luggage with the hair like in the court in the movies... According to Mutiara, around her office many courts hall, from County Court until Supreme Court. So, those people actually are barister or Queen Counsel in the courts. Their jobs are to represent their clients, either the defendant or plaintiff. I believe, they are so lazy to take out the attributes when go out or go in the court room, and just walk like that on the street with their white wig.... New view for me! (the above info I got from Mutiara...)

Taking tram (no. 55 from Elizabeth St) I went to Queen Victoria Market to get some souveniers and cream... More story about QVM can be read from here.
