i have lunch with my colleagues at 11.30am in the city (aka melbourne). caught the bus across our house at 10.00am. then took the tram. i usually take the train but since the commonwealth game is held in melbourne, most people would take the train to watch the game. i would have driven my car but i brought it to my mechanic on thursday for a service. some roads in the city are closed so you can imagine how pack the trains are. i got off elizabeth street. since i still have 30 minutes to spare, i took some photos.

the old gpo (general post office) - the inside of this building has been renovated and turned into clothing stores which i think are very expensive. there are also cafes and restaurants.
