Around AU in 58 Days: Chinese Garden of Friendship

  The Chinese garden of Friendship is one of the many attractions in Darling Harbour. Honestly speaking it took us a week to enjoy almost all the attractions in Darling Harbour. The Chinese garden of friendship is just one big garden. Well for me it may actually be one big set of Mulan. Very Zen and relaxing in the area you wouldnt think you are in the city.

   Around the garden are different plants described and labeled. There are also some plants that only appear on certain season. They say its most beautiful in the garden during spring because its where all the flowers bloom.

     Whats very "mulan-feel" in this garden are the temples! situated by their man made lake, the only thing lacking is me in a japanese robe singing......when will my reflection show who i am inside"... haha. Everything has that beautiful oriental detail. Im not really sure what the temples are for because im not chinese but i do appreciate the design so much and hopefully id have a good budget to shoot here next time.

Im definitely loving getting lost in this garden. You could also get to wear a traditional costume for an additional cost. but i chose not to and heres just a stolen shot by mom with the cute kids in their costumes. I do really love this place its not like our ordinary chinese gardens in the philippines. This garden is well maintained

WHAT I WORE:

 Sweater dress from Topshop, Scarf:Gift, Boots from Cherrylane Uggs

Shades from Just Jeans AU

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Cairns Esplanade

                On winter season here is a picture of Cairns Esplanade. People swimming in a public pool at a park! How liberating right? I dont think this could even be possible for manila.How great is that you dont need to pay in for a water park. The Silver Fish designs in the public pool is a good Icon of the Esplanade.

        Its Relaxing to take a stroll at the Esplanade. You would also see some people either longboarding,skateboarding,walking their dogs, jogging, etc. At the Esplanade's Public pool you would also see the shoreline of the ocean, but by the time that we where there it was lowtide. Also the Esplanade has sand! yes Sand! Its a beach in the middle of the park! So Awesome right! but whats better than that is this!

       MAGNUM SANDWHICH! when is this gonna be in the Philippines because if that happens.Im surely gonna rush to the nearest store thats selling this. Funny story. It was winter and i wouldnt want to leave cairns without even tasting this Magnum Sandwhich so i ate it and then i had to make sure i had my jumper with me since it became more freezing:)
