In this post,I will write more story of my first holiday. I went to my first host family’s house and Monash University. After that I went sightseeing in Melbourne city. If you want to go to Melbourne from Japan, it's about a ten hour flight.

Now, I would like to talk about a little information . Melbourne is one of the most comfortable places to live in the world. Also, another cities of Australia are comfortable city to live in. Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria, Australia. Before Canberra was fixed in capital of Australia, Melbourne was capital of Australia. Melbourne was founded on the Yarra River. Yarra River is a very famous river in Melbourne. There are many museum about the colonial period of Melbourne, so we can learn about the old days. In addition, the Flinders Street Station is a symbol that is British style building and Federation Square is a modern architecture. These two buildings are expressed nowadays of Melbourne. Do you know a tram? If you go to Melbourne, it is a useful transportation because the tram is a favorite means of transportation used by city residents. This is typical sight in Melbourne.

There are many things to do in Melbourne. For example, there are many streets where we can eat delicious food. Also we can go shopping. There are many zoos and aquariums, but we can't hold a koala in Melbourne, because state law prohibits holding a koala. Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Park are World Heritage sites. The F1 Grand Prix and grand slam of tennis are famous in Melbourne.
