澳洲之旅 (viii) - Melbourne

星期六晚上，朋友带我们到位于Boxhill的四川麻辣火锅店吃火锅。天气冷冷，吃火锅是最爽的了！可以感觉到温暖，哈哈。我们order自助火锅，由于时间不够，　我们赶紧order和赶紧的吃，因为人家１０。３０要打烊了。（好早哦）！忽然，来了８碟牛肉，难道你们不知道＂邓丽君＂叫８碟牛肉吗？哈哈哈哈！！！！！！　大家突然被着８碟牛肉吓着了。

早上，我们驾车到墨尔本的唐人街<<食为先 Shark Fin House>>享用早餐 - 点心。一大早就人山人海，还以为到了就可以马上吃了，哪里知道还要饿着肚子排队30分钟等吃。饿昏了。。。一直跟老公＂笑笑念＂我很饿啊～～～～！！！！！！老公顶不顺了，给钱我去买面包吃，然后到附近的广场逛－逛。无聊极了，拍拍照

Chinatown @ Melbourne

终于有的吃了，我们等待着Waiter/waitress安排位子。一进到去，啊～～～！！！好狭窄的一间餐厅，挤满了食客。过后就有服务员陆续的来serve我们了。那些服务员很有礼貌，服务又好，一直推那些点心，问我们要吃什么等等。吃饱过后，还要走一段路取车。当时的天气还下着毛毛细雨, 我也不知道走去哪里了。这天只是在市区一日游, china Town, Queen Victoria Market, Shopping Centre 和 Crown赌场看喷火。

还没到Victoria Market之前，本来要去St.Kilda Beach的Sunday Market跑一趟, 但是天公不做美的关系，摆地摊的人只有寥寥无几。所以我们就打消了下车的念头，而往Queen Victoria Market出发。

Queen Victoria Market 就好像曼谷的 Chak tu Chak 。里面分成了很多区，蔬菜区，水果区，肉类区，红酒区，等等和还有跳蚤市场。在这里可以寻找到很多便宜东西，我买了一些树熊包,钥匙圈等等。。。送给朋友,然后就cincai的逛一逛咯。

Queen Victoria Market is more than just Melbourne’s shopping mecca - it’s an historic landmark, a tourist attraction and an institution for Melburnians. This vast and vibrant centre of trade and commerce was officially opened on 20 March 1878 and has served consumers needs for more than 120 years. Last year the Market had over 8.5 million visitors.
The Vic Market as it is known by Melbournian's is a great place to get a feel for Melbourne's diverse cultures.

Spread over 7 hectares, it is the largest open air Market in the southern hemisphere. As the Queen Victoria Market is a traditional open-air market, it is recommended that warm weatherproof clothing (in winter) will make your visit more enjoyable. Almost one thousand traders sell everything from exotic Australian fruit and vegetables and local and imported gourmet foods, meat, fish and poultry to hardware, manchester, clothing and authentic Australian artefacts and souvenirs.
Wine tasting is conducted Sunday afternoons, providing a great opportunity to try some of the world class wines produced in many regions throughout the state. The market is the most popular visitor attraction in Victoria, and guided tours are available Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings.

Queen Victoria Market @ Melbourne

逛完了Queen Victoria Market, 我们就到附近的广场DFO 再逛一轮。唉。。。好闷哦！　因为没有看到喜欢的东西，而且价钱又不便宜，虽然有大减价，但是还是不值得买咯！然后就漫步的走到皇冠赌场Crown Casino等待看每小时一次的喷火表演。好精彩的表演啊～～～～！！！！！！在酱寒冷的天气下，观赏喷火表演，不但是一种视觉的享受，而且火焰也把我们的身体带来了短暂的温暖。

过后我们去footscray解决掉晚餐。这个区不太安全，当我们抵达时，就看到有人在骂架。看到酱的情形，就赶快闪人到安全的地方。好险!
