A lovely day

Its been one month since i first come to Mel. Streets, houses, restaurants near the house i live ... has become less strange now. But I am still not used to the new life yet.

Yesterday can be considered the most lovely day i ever had since I left my hometown. The trip to Melbourn central was very nice with wonderful things that i have never experienced before.

From a skycrapper in the City, i could see most of the scenery below with tiny roads, cars and people walking around. Unfortunately, I left the camera at home, so i could not capture these outstanding images clearly. With an old MB everything was a bit dark.

Capital cities in Australia

Statistical Divisions (SDs) are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as areas under the unifying influence of one or more major towns or cities. Each capital city forms its own Statistical Division, and in Australia the population of the SD is the most-often quoted figure for that city's population. Statistical Districts are defined as non-capital but predominantly urban areas. The Australian Government treats divisions and districts with more than 100,000 people as metropolitan.

Statistical Divisions are in bold, the rest are Statistical Districts.
