The Immigration Museum/Chinatown

Me, Lisa, Amanda and Taylor decided we were going to check out the Immigration Museum in the city. I wasn't really sure what to expect or if i would enjoy it but i thought it was worth a look!

The first floor has various artefacts to do with the colonisation of Australia. There were clothes, shoes, propaganda; all sorts. It was interesting but it didn't take us very long to make our way around it.

After we'd had enough fun in the loos, we made our way upstairs. Now the best part of the museum was on this floor, and it was a replica of a ship. It was quite big and filled the entire room it was in. We spent quite a lot of time wandering around it and trying various things out.

After i was done trying things out/on and everyone was done laughing at me trying to get out of that life vest, we decided to go to Chinatown for dinner. Lisa and Taylor said they went to a nice resturant there a while back and so we wandered around trying to find it. Of course it was at the opposite end of C-Town but it proved to be a good decision in the end!

We all ordered our own dishes but ended up trying bits of everything. Their Beef in Black Bean Sauce didn't taste quite right but their Spring Rolls were pretty delicious! And Taylor being the absolute sweetheart she is; payed for my meal as a birthday present!

Walrus!.....Man, i am too fucking cool.

Its blurry because Amanda was having a dispute with her camera haha!

We then had a wander around C-Town and i found a really cool little asian bakery. I decided to buy myself an early-birthday treat and got a small chocolate mud cake. It was possibly the best cake i have ever had, and their coconut tarts were pretty amazing too!
