I went to Australia last November: Day 4 Part 2

After the wine tour, we sleepily decided to embark on our last night in Melbourne. We took a trip to their very strange “Target.” (yes there was a period in the name) and then rode the tram to Chinatown. Katie’s stupid “Flat Stanley” really wanted to take a pic in Chinatown so I obliged :(

In Chinatown, there is a restaurant called Flower Drum which is apparently the most expensive restaurant in Melbourne. Their soups were $120+! ($120 Aussie but that’s irrelevant).

This is the inside of the really expensive restaurant. KT kept telling me to be discreet when I was taking these pictures, but seriously, we’re at a really expensive restaurant. These people obvi want to pretend like they’re famous and we’re the paparazzi.

After creeping on this restaurant, KT and I decided to go to a much more wallet friendly restaurant across the street. Here is a picture of our spinach dumplings. They were delicious. Also I think we may have still been slightly tipsy from the wine tour because we were sooo sleepy.

This is a picture of our pasta dish, which was really delish. But it probably wasn’t as good as the $120 Aussie soup. It’s making me hungry.

After the food, we went to the Sofitel Hotel, which we had heard had an amazing view of Melbourne from the Ladies’ restroom! And it did! It was on approximately the 18th floor, and the restroom had a picture window. See, there is some stadium and a tall building. So cool.

Look at how the amazing incandescent light just makes our skin glow. The juxtaposition of the incandescence is just wonderful with the sunlight outdoors. I swear we didn’t use self tanner in order to look like Oompa Loompas. Ok, maybe just a little. You got me.

Cute pose, guys. We always try to take pictures in mirrors so that people can see our true reflections.

Merry Christmas! Those Aussies sure do love their Christmas. There were Christmas signs everywhere and Santa postboxes. In November!! In America, since we traditionally decorate Christmas trees after Thanksgiving, I wonder when Aussies start putting their decor up. This was right before American Thanksgiving. I bet they put their Christmas decor up in November.

Freaking Flat Stanley. Gosh she was annoying. See, you can even see her underwear!! If that’s not indecent, I don’t know what is. Katie really should have laminated her, because Flat Stanley’s hair started falling off (and one of her shoes, too, I think.)
