Great Italian Restaurant! La Porchetta.

It is best restaurant in Australia for me. This restaurant also has Pasta. Most of foods are very yummy.

I recommend Super Special Pizza and Carlbonara pasta. The restaurant is located front of the Queen Victoria Market on Victoria Street. Or You can find same restaurant this page.

But the restaurants are not all same price. Especially, the pizza is 3 dollars high price if you go to out of Melbourne. and Pizza is about 2 dollars cheaper if you take away to your home.

I went to Melbourne

I went to Melbourne for short term holiday because of finished exam. Between Sydney and Melbourne are very near by the map but the distance about 1000km. For example, Between Tokyo and Fukuoka also about 1000km.

I went to Melbourne by car and most of roads are free way and we can drive up to 110km/ph. But I spend about A$200 for petrol. Finally, I drove 1760km for return with 12km/L a car or Paseo.

I had been Melbourne 6 years ago and it is almost same compare with that time. I found Taiwanese and Japanese woman's friend in there. I satisfied about the travel. And also my ex-share mate is Australia U2 Show's vocal and I met him a little while in Clifton Hill Hotel.

I went to Bathurst for meet my friend.

I went to Bathurst for meeting my friend. There is about 200km away from Sydney and 40,000 population, elevation is 650m. So there is cold city compare with Sydney.

The city dont have Backpacker's and my friend is staying public bar on 1st floor then I could stay there for free because I just drop in bed. We took dinner about 19 o'clock and we went to public bar.

I also visit my friends shop which is a carpet shop. Then they gave job for replacing photo from their website.. I will get some fee if I complete replacing. It is the webiste.

Then I went to Sydney for meet my honey. and she helped my homework. But I got shocking news about she is going to Cairns for her studies for long term. I lost a honey.........

Get two phone number then save money.

I thought Australian phone is very expensive! But not anymore^^ I found a way to save phone bill.

Firstly, you should get Optus Sim card from Optus shop then top up $30. you will get 100 minutes free call between Optus and Optus. It is important because many of my friend do it and you can call 100 minutes Optus phone and $30 for other phone.

But I thought $30 is not enough to other phone. then...

Sign up another phone and I recommend vodafone. Just pay $29 dollars for Jumbo Cap in vodafone shop(can not do it expect vodafone shop). Then your credit balance become $130 So you should have 2 phones.

For international call, I recommend Skype. It is only $0.23 to Australian Mobile phone, $0.02 to Australian Home phone, $0.0266 to Japanese Home phone, $0.175 to Japanese Mobile phone, But Skype only accept credit card. So I recommend issue credit card before you leave from your country.

Why aren't Australians vegetalians?

Woolworths is always selling many roast chickens, and it is selling them at discount price: 10 dollars to 6 dollars before closing. It is still expensive, even 6 dollars, but I bought roast chicken today.

I did not buy roast chicken because it is not only expensive but also pitiful. I can image chickens easier when they are alive. I imagine they were burned even while they were alive....

It was looks very delicious, but it is not so, especially the inside. As I was feeling bad, I gave the chicken to another backpacker.

I also think strongly about human beings killing other animals. I have not decided to become vegetarian yet. But I understood the mind of vegetarians now.

Japanese supermarkets do not selling roast chicken often and I never think about killed animals strongly. I am shocked about roast chicken now.
