Best of Melbourne: Colonial Tramcar Restaurant Experience
People tend to ask me, what is the memorial thing I did in Melbourne? I simply tell them, the dinner at the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. The only moment that I can relate to its similarity is the Chao Phraya River Cruise in Bangkok or the Live Tango Performance Dinner in Buenos Aires Argentina. Melbourne is famous for its trams and having a dinner on a colonial tramcar itself is classic.

Cloudy Night on Philip Island, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
I love stargazing. I would spend hours on the beach of islands sometimes watching the beautiful night sky filled with stars. I used to have such luxury of night scene in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. However, I didn’t know how to use a proper camera back then.
Living in Kuala Lumpur has no chance for stargazing. The sky is either too bright or it is just too cloudy to see any of the stars.
Yesterday, I had the chance again. Before I went to …
