Maybe as you aged, You don't wish to stay away from home for too long. I was glad that we were going back to Melbourne city and departing the next day. No itineraries were planned ahead, which is good as I really miss SHOPPING!
We left our car at the hotel because it was like totally impossible to drive without turning round and round and got lost :( Really noob, but we were glad we choose public transport and it really saves us time.
Target - Get More, Pay Less http://www.target.com.au/
Top on my list. Is it quite unusual? Why am I shopping in an American retailer when I am in Oz land? I am not sure if I am missing out on any good deals in Melbourne but TARGET is too awesome! It's near my hotel and I love cheap stuff! hahaha XD I bought mostly kids clothings that simply can't resist as those nice little dresses, tops, pants are all so lovely at a really affordable price that allows you to spam buy (I know there's no such word, to me it means buy buy buy buy buy)! Check it out if you are in the USA!
This smart All-Time-favourite white shirt, one of the great buy from Target.
I am a romper lover. I can't remember how much it cost, but I don't think I will buy anything more than AUD 10?
I had more girls clothings for girls but I am keeping it for CNY :) So, no preview hehe
Oh, the toys are great too when compared to Singapore. But still far too expensive when you compare to Amazon.
HarbourTown - There's no town like it http://harbourtownmelbourne.com.au/
Well, I really had too little time to shop, especially when the stores closes really early. I did manage to get some clothings for myself, and can't remember what else. They had a huge car park, so after we checked out of our hotel, we actually went back to HarbourTown, to park there and shop.
I got some simple tops and this cotton white dress from one of the shops over there. Simple style, simple price, quite a good buy. By the way the above pix are taken in Singapore, only to show some of the great (cheap) buys in oz.
Daddy & Girl enjoying the cookies they bought in HarbourTown and even "Tabao" to the airport and eat... (It's not very nice, I tried...) It's their great buy!
Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) http://www.dfo.com.au/home/
I felt that it's a waste of my time. Perhaps I am spoiled by USA factory outlets.
Queen Victoria Market - Since 1878 http://www.qvm.com.au/
Filled with lots of Chinese sellers selling low quality goods. Out of respect for the long history, I shall not make any remark. Anyway, I bought souvenir tees from an Australian (look alike) seller, thinking the quality should be better. Haha and the (pink) tee I bought for G, shrink into baby size...
Some random photos which I love, taken in Melbourne city:
Little girl, we don't have time for this...
Mummy, can I draw on the wall too?
You can tell that I love this place right? I love grafiti, Hosier Lane
Likes: =_= It was okay
Dislikes: DFO, crowded city
Bonus: Target store, Hoiser Lane
