Last holiday, I went to Melbourne, Australia with my family. The reason we went there is to accompany my sister and help her settle there since she is going to be living there for the next three and a half years to continue her study there. It was an amazing holiday.
We depart from Jakarta to Melbourne on the 20th of June and arrived there the next day. On the first day there, we didn't really do anything because we were very tired since we barely got enough sleep during the flight. At night, we went out to a Japanese restaurant for dinner.
On the second day, we went to two malls called Melbourne Central and QV to buy food and cleaning supplies for my sister. We also went to Max Brenner Chocolate Bar to get some hot chocolate. At night, we went to Chinatown and ate at a Chinese restaurant.
On the next day, the weather wasn't as friendly as the previous days. It was a stormy day, but we still went outside. At first we went to the Indonesian Embassy to report our arrival and then we went to the bank to set up an account for my sister. We also went to Melbourne Central to buy some food for dinner.
On the fourth day, my sister and I went to the movies to watch 'The Fault in Our Stars'. My parents didn't join us because my dad had to meet with a guy to see other apartments and my mom was sick.
On the fifth day, we met Caleb's family in my sister's apartment building because Caleb's sister would also stay there. After chatting for a while with his family, we went to an ice cream shop called Messina to get some ice cream for me and my sister. Even though it's winter in Australia, we still wanted to enjoy delicious ice cream :D.
On the sixth day, my family and Caleb's family walked altogether to the Melbourne University Campus to join the parents' meeting.
On the seventh day, my dad and I went to a shoe store to buy a pair of shoes for my aunt. My sister didn't join us as she had to go to school. My mom couldn't join us because she wasn't allowed to go outside since she was sick. In the evening, my sister and I celebrated my birthday in a Nando's restaurant and we also bought some food for our parents.
On the eighth and ninth day, I didn't go anywhere since I had a fever and had to stay and rest at the apartment with my mom.
On the tenth and last day, my parents and I said goodbye to my sister. We were very sad to leave her. We went home and arrived in Jakarta at night.
Overall it was an amazing trip. I really enjoyed it even though there was some not-so-good moments in it.
