Canberra~~~~~

We went to War Memorial.

My group’s guide, Tom brought us to different areas of the museum.

He told us more facts about the two major world war;

World War I and II in detail and showed us galleries of war uniforms, badges, weapons and shields, machineries, war artifacts and elaborated more.

We also get to watch some historical videos.

I gained further understanding of the war histories of the two World Wars!

Later on,

We went to of to learn more about the history of Australia.

Australia has really many interesting histories and facts,

such as the big laundry stand which Australian kids like to swing on it, insects and animal species of and the Aboriginal people.

After that,

we got up to the coach and drove towards the motel and check in to our rooms.

The motel’s room was really cozy and I liked it!

We had our dinner at the motel’s restaurant.

Our dinner at the motel’s restaurant was nice but

I really missed Asian’s dishes. (T_T)

I ate so much fish and chips, beef, sausages, corn and peas in Australia!

I had a high fever on that day. (T_T)

After that, we got our rest.

My room mates and I could not sleep and therefore we watched some television programs before we went to bed.

Deal or no deal and Mean Girls : D

The next day,

We went to the nearby National Capital Exhibition Centre to learn more about the decision that made Canberra, Australia’s capital city.

We also watched a video on how the architects and government started designing, building and establishing .

I felt that is a nice, quiet and peaceful place.

Next, we went to the Parliament House.

Our guild showed and introduced to us to the different areas of the Parliament House.

She brought us the Queen’s Terrace, where we were to see a life-sized statue of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who opened the Parliament House on 9 May 1988.

She also brought us to look at some artworks, portraits of the members of parliament, Senate and House of Representatives.

After that,

we went back to the motel to have dinner and rest for the day.

That night at the motel was the best!!!

My friends and I gossiped, chat and played truth and dare.

It was really fun! ❤

The best night! (´∀｀☆)

After that,

we stayed up late till 2 plus.

Lynn, Heather, Yan Ting and I shared and slept at a Queen sized and Melissa slept above us.
