A tram service is very good, sometimes we killed our time just going around in this tram because we have weekly ticket. In Melbourne we can buy one ticket daily,weekly or monthly could be used for all land transportation mode, trains,trams and buses.

My hearth fallen in Melbourne, this city is my second home town, we visited Melbourne many times and stay long. Melbourne is a place to be, has a gentle landscape, the pleasant climate makes it and attractive place to visit all year round or to live,but some people hate the weather there, because the weather will change suddenly, but I like it clear atmosphere not much pollution.

Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia, located on the Yarra River.

The people are friendly with multi ethnics, the public transportation system are good and efficient, we may choose trains, trams, busses, taxis and boats. In the city they have a free tram City Circle, the old tram but it is run well.

A lot of place to see around Melbourne, Botanical gardens, Fitzroy Garden,St Kilda Beach,Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne Zoo, Rialto Tower, National Meseum, Crown Casino, City Walk, Museum of Victoria.

Melbourne has a lot of Universities, i.e.Monash University,Melbourne University, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Victoria University.

As Asian people we don’t have any problem about food, they have a plenty of Asian Restaurants and Asian Supermarket. We like to purchase daily needs at Queen Victoria Market, the price are competitive.

When I was in Melbourne I popped in a cafe, they provided hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, truffles, chocolate truffles, hot cocoa, cocoa tea, hot cocoa mix, chocolate fudge, fruits with chocolate, vanilla fudge and others.

I bought some products from the supermarket chocolate chip cookies, cocoa butter, peanut butter fudge chocolate fudge, vanilla fudge and cocoa powder as token.

At one night we went to Max Brenner Chocolate Bar in the city we ordered Truffle made of 70% cocoa (Truffle served with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and blueberries with choice of warm chocolate) , Melting Chocolate Heart Cake (warm chocolate cake with a melting heart of dark and white chocolate served with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, fresh strawberries and blueberries with raspberry sauce served on the side)

Recently, I dropped in at Hot Chocolate Cafe at Waterfront City, Dockland I had Hot Chocolate Shots ( the ingredients are shot of white chocolate, coconut syrup and coconut flakes ) with Flourless Chocolate Mint (the ingredients are chocolate cake with minty center, dark chocolate sauce and very vanilla ice cream)

Melbourne is a chocolate heavens we can find a lot of chocolate choices with different brands, and the chocolate products are cheaper than in my country, we bought some chocolate because I and my family are chocolate lover.
