Melbourne

I came across an old journal of my 3 weeks stay in Australia back in 2004. I didn’t realize I’d write down so much details of my experience there. It was the first time I’m away from home on my own for such an extended period of time.

The first 2 weeks in Melbourne were especially memorable. Lessons, Swanston Street, Victoria Market, Lygon Street, King’s Domain, Saint Kilda’s.

So young, carefree, naïve.

I always thought there’ll be a chance to revisit these places. But now, it's impossible to do so without a tinge of sadness.

Too much has been lost.
