Well, so SH ad I figured we'd have some fun, visiting the Royal Melbourne Show at the Melbourne Showgrounds (pretty much the same place as Manifest previously). So, basically how was my day? Brrr...*shivers*...COOOOOOLD and tiring (since I had to keep moving to feel anywhere near warm).
We met at 12 noon, headed over to Flinders Station, hopped on the express train and were there in like 13 minutes. Convenient huh? So gotta love public transport here! XD
By the way, if it wasn't obvious enough, it rained a lot throughout the day (so much for me liking Spring >.<), pretty much resulting in the excessive cold. It's FREAKING cold here when it rains, even if only a little. To make things worse the showgrounds are practically wide open spaces of land so the wind was totally impossible to escape, escept when we ran into one of the few buildings. I tell you I almost lost my umbrella thanks to the darn weather.
Oh wells, I'll leave the pictures to do most of the talking from here on out peeps. Have fun! ^^
Yeah, it was sunny at first - Mr. Orange-ball-in-the-sky is honestly teasing us >.<
Bought some yummy jam donuts from this place - seriously yum!
Meh, other food options...not an option for Muslims living in a non-Islamic country like me XP
Alot of those rides were scary...this one included - you try imagining how high it went XP

Yeah, you're probably wondering why I'm wearing specs in all these pics - I blame the harsh wind XP

So enough with the animals, this was where everyone went for Showbags to take home~
Lol, yeah, you can start laughing now XP
SH and I ended up stuck in the Foods department thanks to a sudden pour of heavy rain - don't think we can complain much there (ignoring our freezing limbs and wet clothes despite our useless umbrellas) XP
Shall start tempting people now - cookies and gingerbread men!! XD

Yeah, I'm way too lazy and tired to elaborate on details. People say "a picture's worth a 1000 words" anyway. I got like over 40 here. That should do it, right? ^^
