My brother and I started our day by eating chocolate muffins/cupcakes and studying the SAT. Since I finished the book I was working on the other day, I got to start on another lovely (sarcasm) book.
This book was exactly like the other one, boring, monotonous, and outdated. Again, this is not worth your money and all copies should be burned!
After I folded some clothes, my mom, my brother, and I took the free shuttle to a park and then walked the rest of the way to a bank. At the bank, my brother and I sat in some comfortable chairs. While we were waiting, the bank people began asking us questions like:
-What country did you come from?
-Why are you here?
-How long are you staying?
Though these way sound like ordinary questions, I think that they are going to get plastic surgery to look like us an then steal our identity!! It could happen...
After that, we kind of got lost but eventually found our way. We then visited a butchery and bought some fresh sausages and aged filet mignon. We also went to the fruit and vegetable market where we bought some potatoes and bananas. Then, we travelled back to our hotel/apartment/motel, exhausted. Later on, we ate our second home-cooked which was delicious. We ate delicious steak, mash potatoes (courtesy of me), and steamed broccoli and spinach. Personally, I think the steaks tasted a lot better than yesterdays $32 ones. The vegetables were awesome to but needed quite a bit of salt.
The other day, I visited a retail store and I was looking at the shoes and clothes. While I was studying the shoes, I noticed that many of the shoes were sizes 6 or 7 so I'm guessing that most women have small shoe sizes. This may be very far from the truth but it's just a guess.
While we were walking, we walked through this huge (and relatively famous) park that had this interesting tree.
Well, I've typed long enough! Bye!
So, this blog is about me traveling and writing random reviews on things I've done today. Hope you enjoy!
The Luna Tourist
So, first things first, this is a blog about me touring the world in the eyes of a young tourist. The name of this blog doesn't necessarily mean that I only travel at night because that would be stupid. Anyway, lets get down to business. I will try (and probably fail) to write everyday but DO NOT count on it (though I doubt anyone will come to my blog everyday but it's nice to have hopes). Enjoy and live through my strange, but amazing adventures.

July 11, 2011 Nothing, Bread, and "Thai" Food
In the beginning of the day, my brother and I began studying the SAT (Yay?) and I read this:
This book was okay at first but then went downhill in a flash. The connections became more distance and eventually just ended. This book is not worth your money.
Once 4:00pm rolled around, my mom, my brother, and I walked around and reached this small market where we bought this amazing olive bread and some other stuff. I can't show you a picture since we already ate most of it! We have bought from here before so they gave us a free already wilted spinach. Delicious...
For dinner, we bought from this lunch truck where I bought an octopus ball with butter rice (Don't knock it until you've tried it!) and then my parents bought this pork fried noodles and chicken with garlic and pepper sauce. These dishes were questionable Thai and very bland. The food I got from the lunch truck was delicious but a bit dry, it needed a bit more sauce. The locations (for the Thai place) is:
Kanniga's Thai Food
18a Carlton Courts
Corner Bearley Avenue & Papanui Road
The lunch truck was right next to the other place but don't count on it being there since it's......a lunch truck thing. Bye!

July 3rd, 2011 Pie Face, The Melbourne Museum, and Alpino
So, for lunch my family and I came to this Australian food chain called Pie Face. Pie Face is a trendy, fashionable, light take on the famous Australian meat pie. Though the pies aren't the best, they get the job done in a light, non-messy, way
After lunch, we travelled to the Melbourne Museum. This museum is about as interactive as a potato. Actually, a potato is a lot more interactive. This place is mainly centered towards adults and only have a few things younger audiences will care for. My favorite part of the whole museum was the forest inside the museum. Even though this was my favorite part, it still had some flaws. One of the worst flaws was the fact that they had an exhibit for certain animals, yet no animals could be found. In fact, there were absolutely no signs of life in those glass cages.
Soon enough, we became hungry and started to search for a good Italian food. After carefully looking through every menu and turning down some great offers (ie, you get free wine and it's 20 percent off if you come here), we ended up in a small restaurant called Alpino Restaurant. Here, the food was to die for but relatively pricey ($35 dollars for a lobster? Who would buy that?). Here, I decided on getting the Salmon(e) and Spinach Fettucini which was about $22. This dish was SO good but there wasn't enough. Anyways, if anyone is deciding on coming to Melbourne, Australia anytime soon, here's the restaurant info.
