This is Sea~~~Wave writing from Melbourne
sorry for writing in English .. I am in internet cafe
:27:anyways .. Melbourne is great .. its very cold here
so u better bring heavy clothes with you
my trip to Melbourne was very good al7emdellah
although the flight was delayed 3 hours
due to a technical problem
Emirates airlines is the best .. so don't think about other airlines
.. the trip from Dubai to Melbourne was 13 hours
they served us with 3 meals
The on board TV was so entertaining
they have many many movies, TV shows, and songs
I arrived Melbourne @ 8:30 a.m.
and the immigration officer was so nice
you have to mention every thing you have in your bags
in the customs form
it took me less than 15 minutes to get out from the airport
its better to arrange your temporary accommodation from Saudia
I stayed at Rydges Hotel at 205 Bell St. Preston 3072
its 15 minutes to Melbourne Uni and 20 minutes to RMIT
and there is a free shuttle taking students there every two hours
I don't recommend this hotel for families .. its rooms are too small
I stayed 2 nights @ the hotel then moved to my permanent accommodationg at CBD area .. 10 minutes walk to RMIT
I spent the last two days walking in the CBD area
I got familiar with the area now
the major street in CBD is Swanston St
Its full of resturants, cafes, malls,and markets
alot of trams are moving along the street
the Yarra river is so beautiful
I had the chance to walk along the river yesterday
I took some picutres while i was walking
there are many rowing boats you can rent
in additon to taxi boats which carry people to
different places on the river banks
I opened a bank account so easily in Common Wealth Bank
It took only 5 minutes to open the account
all you need is your passport and $500 deposit
I got a mobile sim card from
Optus Company so easily as well
To the ladies .. Don't worry ..
Hejab is very common in Melbourne
Alot of women wear Hejab
there are a lot of muslim women working and living here
I even saw a woman wearing Ne8ab
and no body is staring at her
:29: .. so no worries
I will leave you with some pictures I took yesterday & todayd
Enjoy them
If you have any enquiries .. feel free to ask
Best Regards
