Memory in Australia Working Holiday - Victoria Park and Casino(2008-08-12)

Since last time to Fremantle, me, Paula, Pauline and Lai are play mate now, this weekend, we are going to picnic in Victoria Park with Pauline's house mates, 2 Korean guys and one Taiwaness girl.

There is one funny thing when we are in bus station, we ask service counter how to go to Victoria Park, an officer ask us where are we going in Victoria Park, what are we doing there? We feel strange, Why do we have to tell him what are we doing there and what does he think people will do in a park? Anyway we couldn't get an answer, officer just give us a direction and we have to find out by ourselves.

One day in the future, we finally realize why do him ask those questions, Victoria Park is not a park, it's a name of a suburb. All right, in Taiwna, we never call a place "park" if it's not a park and I think neither does Korean, because they don't understand why the officer says that either.

At least we find a park beside Swam River, although we spand more than 30 minutes to find it. Although we went pass it and never thought about it would be the place we want to go. But we are there at least.



Before we go, in front of Pauline's share with her house mates.



















That's the park in Victoria Park beside Swam River, actually, it's a belt of green area along Swam River, families have BBQ, kids play around here.




















Swam River, pelicans swim causually, in Taiwan, we can see pelicans in zoo only, so I'm excited to see so many pelicans.




















Let's begin picnic, we prepare sandwich, salad and lots of food.




















After picnic, we play some games like kids, games we haven't played for a long time. It's funny, remind me my childhood.




























Climb on the tree, nice shot, isn't it?


A crazy dad think it's fun and give his daughter to Rebecca on the tree.The crazy family...........



The lovely kid try to steal our drink.
I like these two trees

An art work of train, we pretend we are on the train.
Someone made a heart with petals, lovely.
The building behind us is InterCity Hotel, and casino is just beside it. After picnic, we visit the casino, it's my first time being in a casino, gambling is illegal in Taiwan. I win $20 this time, not bad.
