100 km/h. They said it's a milestone of my life. Hmmm... and so i asked, what's next? 150? 200?
Anyway, i did a fair bit of driving (3pm - 9pm) to familiarise myself with some places within and just outside canberra.
Wet market isnt a common thingy here as most of the our needs can be bought from the local supermarts and they are everywhere. I visited one of the 2 wet markets around, and indeed it was an interesting experience. It's like bugis junction, but with single storey shops, all enclosed and air-conditioned. Surprisingly, the place didnt smell too bad as what we would expect in a normal 巴刹. It felt just like doing shopping, not for clothes this time, but for fresh poultry, seafoods, vegi, etc.. There isnt much room for price comparison or bargaining. From memory, i think there's onli 2 butchers and 1 fish-seller. Heaps of fruits, vegi, flowers and other groceries though.
Also in our visit list was a new shopping centre, 20min-drive from the wetmarket. Land spaces here are like 免费. Although the centre is onli 2 stories high, but it's very spacious within. Imagine a 2 stories jurong point with those '杂货店' in the middle all gone and of course with less people. Also, twiced the height of each storey! That's gonna be super spacious. White marbles flooring and sun-roof. The whole feeling was pretty relax. A wonderful place for shopping.
Tourist centre. Spend quite a fair bit of time collecting more info for our next trip probably next week or the week after.
Our last stop after a quick dinner was a book sale. It was a good sale, and we were told there's more to come. I bought 2 book which wld normally cost more than a hundred, but bcos of the sale, the damage is onlin 30 bucks.
