Hello I'm back for more Perth travelogue posts! I was really excited for the third day in Perth because I was finally entering the city after much anticipation. During the previous days of wandering, I've always seen the skyline from a distance so strolling through the streets within the business district really feels different.Itinerary for Day Three in Perth
1. Perth City
2. Kings Park
3. Fringe World
We took the Mandurah line on the Transperth train that goes straight into the city. The ride was very smooth and comfortable - everyone was really quiet and minded their own matters most of the time too. When we reached, we headed for NAB to settle some banking business with them (which I'd elaborate next time on why the banking processes here annoy me quite a bit). It was also the first time a true Australian (as determined by his strong accent) fail to understand me -inserts crying face-
In the city, we got ourselves lunch at one of the shopping malls in Perth, enex100. It was labelled as Thai food (Hi Thai) and costs us $10.50 for what we commonly know as mixed vegetable rice. The good thing is that the portion was quite big and that you are not restricted to choosing vegetables or meats, you can choose anything from the huge variety of selections. Of course I chose a lot of meat including sweet and sour pork which reminded me of the hawker centre food in Singapore, a great solace even just three days away from home.
The whole city was actually not very touristy, more of a banking and financial district with plenty of office staff milling about the streets... with the exception of the London Court which was very different from the rest of the skyscrapers. It's a stretch of shops and restaurants that is on Hay Street. It's nice to walk through it but there's actually nothing that attracted me to buy.
