We went to Paddy Market, Market City, Townhall and Queen Victoria Building for shopping and rush to other suburb met my old friends, and ex-boss & ex-colleagues.



I`m pretty much spent entire afternoon travel from one suburb to other suburb till I think I spent almost A$50+ and amount of hours >_<" Also, on phone calls and texting till my finger sore o.O" keep trying to confirmed the dinner with everyone

But, cant complaint because many years haven't back to Sydney to meet everyone and limited time.

Sydney Fish Market

We have to woke up very early in morning and get ready go to city - Central train station and catch the light rail to Fish Market.



The reason why we have to early get there because the Fish market closed at 3pm! and we got a long schedule planned for entire day. Also, I got bad experienced which happened last year. I bring my friend from melbourne and she never been to fish market and by the time we arrived they closed!! At that time we arrived about 5pm, and we were thinking could have dinner. This is all my fault for not checking & not planned everything ahead.



I swear to god & promised to my friend I gonna bring her to Sydney next time again and stay longer.

Omg, you have not idea I have to crack my brain to think locations, timetable and wanna catch up with my old friends & ex- boss & ex-colleagues and everyone is working since is Friday! unlike us. It was complicated and I really dont wanna miss the chance to meet everyone since I`m at Sydney.


Okay, Let`s move on~~~



In light rail, similar to tram. We bought the daypass which easy for us and unlimited travel, unless you really wanna walk all the way back to city >.<' Because it was still school holiday we cant used the discount voucher which only cost $6 daypass. Damn!

This is the network map.

We catch the light rail from Central to Fish Market, unfortunately we don't have enough time to stop by every single stopping point especially STAR CITY aka Sydney Casino, PADDY MARKET, CHINATOWN and etc. But, we save it on evening time. :D




Yeah~~~ Fish Market and the moment to step out from light rail and can smell some fishy >.<' ahhahahah
On the way~~~

very excited!!
