Discover Tasmania!

Holiday to Tasmania was GREAT! The best part of the tour was not only going arnd visiting the places of interest but to actually spend time together as a family. My family memebers have been very busy. Parents having work and siblings school. As for myself there is nothing much to explain as u all know by now. But we gave time off from work and personal things to spend time as one Happy Family.

Tasmania.. very nice place.. its a place more for appreciating nature and God's wonder rather then shopping. haha. We had to stop over Melbourne before finally reaching Hobart around 10 plus. First day, didnt do anything much. We stayed over at a nice house. One thing hit me wen i was there. I finally faced the fact that i wont be eating any chicken or beef there cos there is no halal butcher. So it will be seafood!

The problem about the weather in Tasmania is that it is unpredictable. The temperature can be so cold but the sun rays is jus piercing through ur skin. the UV reading was around 11 and thats very bad. N the rain... it can be so sunny one minute and the next, it starts pouring. haha. The weather on whole, i got to say is good. Its neither too cold nor hot. Perfect.

I went for a Ghost Tour.. believe it or not.. haha. it was like super freaky la. it scared the shit out of me! One not nice thing to see is the dead bodies of animals by the expressway or highway. You can acutally see the body of the animal (wombats, rat and kangaroos basically) squashed. Their body parts are also everywhere. Its really horrible to see. Yucks!

One things which Singaporeans shd learn from our Aussies counterparts is to be more friendly! People there always smile and greet each other. Be it if they know them or not. Its really good to see such behaviour.
