In Melbourne city~Day5

The last day, I enjoyed going around rest of Melbourne city.

I confirmed if I can enter or not, I had a look in St. Paul Cathedral. When I went to St. Patrick's Cathedral, I could not take a picture in there because of a service. Can you see a beautiful stained glass?
Thinking about traffic routes, I went to the Albert Park. This park is famous for a venue of Formula One Melbourne Cup. I used to watch F1 with my father in Japan. But, there were nothing related with this big event. It was normal and so quiet that I could not believe that the event was held in here. I wanted to come here during the event...
One of important events of traveling for girls is shopping! I walked along Chapel Street in St.Gilda. Unfortunately, I did not have enough money to buy clothes. In addition, if I buy many thing, I can't take them to Japan...I bought only a tea assort set as my souvenir. I really wanted to have a lunch at the Pancake Parlor which was printed on many guide books. I was satisfied having a last rich lunch in Melbourne.
The last point is the Immigration Museum. In fact, I didn't know about it and included my traveling plan. But, it was very useful for me to study. I want to recommend especially ELSSA students to go there! Many immigrant from several areas were introduced in a specific section. A delegate of Japanese immigrant who spread Japanese traditional NOU and KYOUGEN seemed to be born in Yamanashi. I want to be proud of it!
If I can speak English better, I might have enjoyed the travel more and more... I need study...This travel made me notice the purpose of staying in Australia!!!

Miho,
That is a beautiful photo of the cathedral. It sounds like you had an interesting trip to Melbourne.
As to shopping, don't worry about buying too much, as you can always send a box back by mail! ;^)

To Mr.Henneberry
Honestly, I prefer Melbourne to Sydney because of atmosphere.
I didn't buy so much. But I got many memories without money!!
