Here it is, my post about Australian food. To makes it clear, not all the food that you've tried in Australia is a genuine food from Australia. But, you can find these kind of food at Australia. Don't worry, I also give you the genuine food from Australia. So if one day you are planning to have holiday at this land down under, maybe you can find these food around.

Lolly is how they call candy here. Why it is different. First, the shape. Australian lolly's shape is magic. Like this chewy candy called chico. Shapes like human, and taste like chocolate bar, but chewy. For me the taste is strange.

Then they have banana lolly. Shape and color like banana, but sweet like bubble gum, and soft and melt inside your mouth. This one is my favorite. Beside that, you can also find the killer phytons. A looong lolly and colorfull. Milk bottle, racing car, red frog, snakes, etc.

You can find them sell in one shape per pack, or try to find the party mix pack. Which you can find them all in one pack.

Another lolly that you can find here. But this one is not really come from here, called LIQUORICE. Maybe some of you already know it.

Do you know this delicious chocolate biscuit? This Tim Tam is come from Australia. What makes it different than other Tim Tam that we found in our shops? Their range of flavors. Beside dark chocolate, white chocolate, double coat, and chewy caramel, in Australia you also can find Messina salted caramel and vanilla, Mesinna black forst, Messina Choc mint, and Messina choconut and lychee. How to get it? Easy, just come at coles or woolworths.

This famous jam is already part of Australian identity. My boyfriend said every man who was born and grew up at Australia must be like Vegemite. If you not try this before, I suggest you not to put lots of  this jam at your toast.

Because the bitterness of the taste, and also salty. So for the beginner, just pust a small amount at your toast.

Made from yeast extract for making wine, this vegemite is really healthy. It rich of vitamins B. Even it's salty, but it just consist of 3.45% sodium and no sugar, fat, or any animal content. It also have halal certificate. You can find all around Australia, and with many sizes.

What makes this pie is different is the size of the pie that smaller than any fruit pie we have seen at television. And inside they feel it with meat,yes, meat. Beef, chicken,pork, kangaroo, you choose. Because the size is smaller, it' easy to bring it everywhere.

It also sells everywhere. From supermarket until bakery shop. This meat pie have been the must have pien in every bakery at Australia. They also have the mini size of this pie, it call party pie,fit to be serve at party.

This pie good for quick lunch, and cook with tomato or barbecue sauce. The safest way to eat it by open the upper crust, because when it's hot, the meat inside is boiling. So open the top crust help it getting colder.

Just like any popular food in Australia, you can find this Aussie pie at supermarket around. Just look at the frozen food isle.

What is the differences between our normal burger with Aussie burger? The filling. If burger that we knew always fill with meat, cheese, and sometimes vegetables, Aussie burger's filling is more unique. beside meat, cheese, and vegetables, they also put beetroots and sunnyside egg, plus sometimes they also add pinapple. The meat is also 100% the best Aussie meat. If you come to Aussie, don't forget to try this burger.

You can find this burger everywhere. Maccas, Hungry Jack, or another restaurant. Try the burger at Grill'd, their burgers are awesome. The nearest Grill'd of course at Colin St. Melbourne.

The base of this cake is sponge cake. The differences is at the middle of the cake, they put vanilla cream, and dipped it into chocolate, and sprinkled it with coconut shreds. Soft, sweet, and really makes you want more. This is one of my favorite food here. This food can find in every parties or occations. and also you can find it at the nearest supermarkets.

Since it made from sponge cake, it is so soft, so it is not a best food to be a gift for your friend or family. It easy to destroyer. But if you want to try it, don't forget to see the expired date.

You can easily made this fairy bread. Take the toast, put a butter and sprinkle it with colorful sprinkle. The more you add sprinkle, the better. Then cut it to be triangle shape. They said, this fairy bread is Aussie's children favorite. Could be because of the sprinkle.

Don't have a time to make it? Just buy it, all supermarkets in Aussie have their own product of this fairy bread. And don't forget, they also have fairy bread ice cream.

This sweet biscuit is made from wheat and coconut. It was the biscuit that sent to Australian army at war by their wifes at World War I. The name, Anzac is taken from Australian and News Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).

Today, they produced this biscuit in a huge amount, like other commercial biscuits, and can be found at any supermarkets in Australia too. And this biscuit become one of the thing for charity, the fund that has been gathered from buying this biscuit goes too RSA (Royal New Zealand Returned Service's Association) and RSL (Returned and Service League of Australia). 

No connection with Boston city, America, this one also popular in Australia. I really love this cake. With raisins mix at the batter, and the icing with coconut shreds, I can finish this bun by my self only in one day. 

I usually find this cake at Coles supermarket and only AUD4-8. You put this cake as a snack, or your friend to watch movie at home. Too bad, this cake is not long lasting. The longest time is two days, and the cake will be hard, and the icing melt.

Like chinese roll, the inspiration of Chiko roll indeed a chicken Chinese roll. This was a popular food in Australia. It is bigger, thicker and fuller than the chicken Chinese roll. 

For me eat one of this already makes me full, and can't finished it more than two. The full thing inside it really really makes you have no regret eating it. Even the name chiko taken from chicken, and inspired by chicken, but the meat is not chicken but lamb. 

Soft and crispy based meringue, with fresh fruit topping, pavlova is the idol of dessert in Australia. Taken from one of the famous Russian ballerina that visited New Zealand. The baker created this.

Really sweet and soft, this dessert is really good with the fruit topping and of course add a white wine. Perfect!!

They said it is easy to make this dessert, but, once again, if you have no time, just buy it at the nearest supermarket.

Lot of my friends asked me, can you eat kangaroo meat? The answer, yes, it can. Australian supermarkets also sells this meat. Just calm, even you can see the kangaroo at the zoo, it doesn't mean its population is endangered. The wild kangaroo population in Australia is the biggest population. Some even said it population even bigger than human in Australia.

What is the meat taste? Knowing they have lots of muscles, I thought it will be hard to bite the meat. Apparently, it is like eating chicken meat, even the fiber is look a like chicken. The taste is as same as if you eat chicken liver. How to cook? Just grill it, or friend it, or do anything you usually do with your meat.

Twiggy is one of my favorite sausages in Australia. They also sells hot twiggy. And you don't have to cook it, just eat it and it is delicious. Made it a snack for your self or at party.

The Australian supermarket always have the Australian snack, one of them also this Neenish tart. Shape like mini pie, fill with cream icing sugar and strawberry jam, and at the top cover it with dried icing sugar. Usually it combine with two different color. Chocolate and white or pink.

This chocolate is produce by Cadburry, shaped like frog. at inside you can feel the berry jam. Delicious? Sure. This chocolate actually made for kid, you can have three pieces for AUD 1. you can considered it as a gift too.

Even this chocolate is actually Australian made, but you can find this chocolate in England too, because the cadburry is a company from England.

Chiken Parmigiana or my boyfriend like to say "chicken parma" actually not real Australian food, but in Australia, this food is always at the restaurant menu. Fried chicken fillet, and topped with tomato sauce, chips, and salad become one. This kind of chicken parma is a kind that you can always find here.

If you want to try to make it, it is easy, but maybe took a little more time at cooking the chicken. Of just go to restaurant, or if you in the budget, you can find the microwave's chicken parma at the frozen isle in the supermarket. Put it at the microwave for 5 minutes, and it served.

Strange food name, is at Australia. One of them is Golden Gaytime. This ice cream is one of the bestest ice cream from street, or walls (what it call in your country? tell me at the comment). The combination of toffee and vanilla at the middle, then dipped at the chocolate and sprinkled with biscuit crumb, perfect!!

Beside stick, they also have the cone shape. But for me, the stick one is still the best. Because what makes this ice cream delicious is the joy of tasting the mix of vanilla, toffee, chocolate, and bread crumbs in one bite. While the cone,after bite the chocolate and crumb at the top, then you just can feel the vanilla.

If you go to KFC Australia, don't forget to order Golden Gaytime Krusher. This is one of the most delicious drink at KFC. LOL

Beside Tim Tam, Milo once an Australian product. But now you can find it everywhere. It's not a mistake if you want to try Australian Milo :)

Even it said ginger beer, there is no alcohol at all in this drink. It is 100% alcohol free. This coda drink made from fermented yeast and ginger. Refreshing. Different with any other ginger drink that served hot, this drink is better served cold. Best ginger beer product in Australia? Of course Bundaberg product.

There you go, the food (and drink) that I found at Australia. Some maybe not a real Australian food, some Australian food already well known in other countries. But while you are in Australia and not taste these foods, why not. What foods in this list that you have tried? Tell me :)

Most of us nowadays know some cosmetics brand. Some of us really love to put their make up routine at their social platform, etc. I do love make up, and I loooove lipstick so much. I even collect lots (not that lots lots) lipstick too.

Before I moved to Melbourne, I attended a beauty class by my friend. She is a good MUA and lots of people already acknowledge her beautiful result. She know trying to make her ability bigger at Jakarta & Samarinda. this is her instagram account, if you want to know her result. She actually my childhood friend. But not because she is my childhood friend I came to her class free. And her class also a private class. I payed her for having the class. Hey, as a friend should be support whatever their friends try to achieve.

Since this was a private class, I got a free snack too, and also certificate. Too bad, the certificate can't be used at Melbourne. But, eventually, I am able to do a make up for myself.

So she knew that I am not really good knowing about cosmetics. She really teach me from the beginning. What should apply first before makeup, how to do a blend, etc. At that time I even didn't know what Primer is. She really putting her time to gave me more knowledge about cosmetics.

And it worked. It made me want to have more than I have. Of course I didn't have primer, finish spray, or anything outside powder, lipstick, and eyeliner. Since I had no time before I moved to Melbourne. I though I would buy cosmetics at Melbourne.

When I already at Melbourne, I browsed some website that sells cosmetics here. Too bad, not much Korean cosmetics website at Melbourne. I found one, and they ship directly from Korea. You can see their website HERE.  But since the shipping fee is too much, and I had not enough money left, so I tried to find the australian cosmetic website. Then I found AUSTRALIS COSMETICS. I decided to order from this cosmetics company, beside it is cheaper, it also save.

The Australian cosmetics product is sells in a cheap range. It really fit for us who doesn't have much money for buying American or European cosmetics. Established at 1987, their cosmetics range are huge. Lately they had a cosmetic range that based on Korean cosmetic. Don't be afraid to use their product. Because this is a local Australian product, that is why the price is not that expensive. And also they are animal free and vegan friendly.

Vegan Friendly & 100% Cruelty Free banners at the website

If you really want to know that this product is cruelty free and vegan friendly. The very simple way is come at their website. The cosmetics and product who is cruelty free usually put the bunny logo at their website. In Australia it self, the campaign to stop the cruelty to the animal already there since 2016 by Choose Cruelty Free (CCF). This organisation have a  list  of Australian product that cruelty free. And, then they also had logo to be put at every producers that already at their list.

Cruelty Free Bunny Logos explanation

This Australis cosmetics, not just only sells trough online. They also have some retails partners if you want to buy them offline. The thing that really difficult for me is when I want to buy online, they charged me a shipping fee. If you bought online from  their website, you have to buy minimum AUD70 to get free shipping fee. Or if you want to buy from priceline, free shipping fee start if you buy minimum AUD100.
Sometimes it's better to buy offline. No shipping fee. But the other problem when I decided to buy offline. Some of the retail partner is not retail for cosmetics only, they sells huge range of things. Sometimes the thing that we want at online is not available at offline. Since we didn't know that the priceline pharmacy near our house also sell cosmetics (we thought they just a small priceline that their goods not complete), I decided to bought it online.

Australis Cosmetics Retail Partners

The Australis Cosmetics products are the very trusted cosmetics, and it also complete. You can find the best foundations, contour cream, primer, bronzer, setting spray, lipsticks, etc. Some of their products also the winner of Beauty awards, like their contouring pallet, or their banana powder.

I decided to buy it online, and it came in two days

here are my new cosmetics collections

Here are the products that I bought from Australis Cosmetics. First, I bought The Original Primer. Finally I have primer. LOL. This primer price is AUD14.90. Consist of Vitamin A & C. and it is so soft at your skin. It also make your make up long lasting.

Australis The Original Primer

Next one is the serum primer. When I bought this, this was a new product there. It called Midas Touch. A liquid primer that have a gold sheets inside. It sames like farsali rose gold. This primer consist of honey, to make your face fresh all the time, glow your skin, and also make your skin smooth. It price is AUD 19.95

Australis Midas Touch Serum Primer

Another product that I bought is Match Maker Shade Adjusting Drops. This product helps to leveling your foundation color. There are two shades of this product. Brightening and darkening. It cost only AUD19.95. The best way to use it by blend it with your foundation.

Australis Match Maker Adjusting Foundation (Brightening)

Luckily, when I bought the finishing spritz, the had a promo buy one make up finishing spritz, they give matte make up finishing spritz, free. This spray for finishing your make up routine. Makes your make up last longer and really light.

Australis Make-Up Finishing Spritz & Matte Finishing Spritz

So, these are my first Australian cosmetics. I did using it. And really satisfied buying them. With a huge range of the products, and also the really friendly price. This product really good for my face and my wallet. 

End of last June, was already three months I stayed at Australia. Since I still have tourist visa, even now I have one year multiple entry visa, I still have to get back to Indonesia. How do I know I should go outside Australia after three months? It was stated at the visa acceptance letter, or you can open the VEVO at Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection's website.

Visa Notice Grant from Australian Embassy

You can check your visa status too at VEVO

After knew when I have to leave Australia once every three months, next one is find out how long I should stay outside Australia. Because I already had ticket to Melbourne from Bali, and I should know when I have to go outside Australia for another leave after next three months. Since I still not a Permanent Resident (PR) of Australia, I should have return ticket (or ticket to exit Australia) when I bought my ticket to Australia. 

I just bring this

I really satisfied with all the public services in Australia, you can contact them everywhere. It so different from Indonesia. In Australia, most of the public services done by electronic, it is really rare for me seeing their public services helped face to face. But if you go to Bank or Post Office, they will help you face to face. Since we didn't know how long I have to stay outside Australia, my boyfriend decided to contact Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection's facebook. One night he putted his question at the comment column, in the morning, they already answered it. The result was I should stay outside Australia minimum 24 hours after the day I leave Australia. Means if I have to leave Australia today, I can come back to Australia tomorrow.

After we found out their answer, we then bought my ticket Indonesia - Australia, return. At the end, I spent 2 nights at Bali, Indonesia, then return to Melbourne trough Jakarta. Because I really enjoyed fly with Garuda Indonesia (cheap and complete service plus it's direct flight), so my plane is Garuda Indonesia.

But, returned to Bali not with Garuda Indonesia. It was my first time using another airplane for international flight. Actually you can find a lots of airplane companies that will take you to Melbourne. Of course you can choose Qantas, their national airplane company. Or you can choose Malaysia Airline, Thai Airline, etc. Most of these airplane doesn't have direct flight to Melbourne. For example, Qantas will transit to Sidney first before Melbourne, or Singapore airline that have to transit to Singapore first.

So, I flight with JetStar airline for my flight to Bali. The best thing is this airplane is budget airplane. We just spent AUD300 for my flight to Bali. Just like budget hotel, that AUD300 is for buying seat and ticket only. If you have luggage, you need to pay. If you want them to provide food, you have to pay. If you want them to provide entertainment, you have to pay. So, I have to add AUD9 for asked them to provide an entertainment, and we did it online. If you request it at the plane, you have to pay AUD10.

Too bad, I was late order my food. Apparently, I have to order the food at least two days before my flying date. Since I can't order food, they offer me to have food inside the plane. Of course, the food is a snack, not the main course.

Menu Book from JetStar

the food that they offer you

Japanese menu that only available at Japan flight :(

At their menu books, you can order something like sandwiches or some light snacks, and drink. Some of the food at their menu is not available at my flight. Like Japanese food, you will able to order it if the flight is at Japan route. Since this is Australian flight, so all with Australian Dollar, thankfully they only accept credit card.

Since I ordered entertainment, I already able to use the monitor in front of me. The different between Garuda Indonesia and JetStar is at JetStar they doesn't have remote control to control the entertainment without tapping the screen. But, worry not, the screen is really responsive, all you need to do just a light tap, and they already respond, while in Garuda Indonesia, sometimes you have to (literally) punch the screen. LOL

Who's not exited to go to Bali? Especially after facing a long season like autumn and winter. That's what I saw from almost all the passengers in this flight. They were so happy to know that the plane touched down at Bali. Some of them scream of happiness. Oh well... Welcome to Bali. mate.

I stayed at Grand Mas Plus Hotel, Legian. This was my first time stayed at this hotel. Because I want something new. Before, several time came to Bali, I always choose hotel at Seminyak area, around Sunset Road. While, Legian is the place that near everything, restaurants, 24 hour mini markets, souvenir shops. Beside, I spent two night at Bali, I don't want to spent my day at the hotel only. 

My Room, they call it "legian room" that big ants kissing ornament is cute

I arrived at the hotel around 5pm. This hotel service was excellent, I thought almost all the service in Bali hotel are really excellent. Since I ordered room without the breakfast, because I seldom have breakfast, I thought it would be easier to have lunch or dinner at their restaurant. Too bad, their restaurant only serve breakfast. Luckily, before I arrived, I bought three samyang cups, LOL.

So, after I cleaned up, I went out for lunch. Since I came to Bali, why wouldn't I looked for Indonesian cuisine? So I found the Indonesian restaurant (more likely Indonesian-but-we-sell-italian-food restaurant) near the hotel, called Warung Etnik. 

One of the corner of warung etnik

This restaurant is so unique. Almost all of the building is dominated by wood. A wooden stair, wooden door, wooden .

Spot that beautiful crafted door

So i ordered fried chicken, why? Indonesia  fried chicken is so different, before they fried it, they put some spices and let it simmer for a couple hour, and no flour. Hehe.. Plus, this fried chicken is really good with any sambal, and vegetables. Like the one I ordered, they gave me two different sambal, sambal terasi & sambal matah. Something that really rare to find at Melbourne.

ayam goreng with sambal uleg and sambal matah

But unfortunately, the sambal matah was so salty. But, the drink I ordered swept that away, plus this drink so fresh. I forget the name, but it was a mixture between strawberry and lychee. 

this drink amazingly really fresh and far from too sweet. Perfect for sumer

Since I had to woke up at 4am for my flight, after had my late lunch I just went back to the hotel and having a nap.

This is the corner where my bed face. Right in front of it is sliding door to bathroom

Woke up at 9pm, I was hungry. Since it was my first time to stayed at Legian, I didn't know much about the place. Luckily google map can show anything. So i found a Padang Restaurant near the hotel. I just had to walked a couple meters, and found this small Padang restaurant.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I thought this restaurant will served lots of menus that they have in front of me. Apparently, I had to came at their display counter to picked what I want to eat. So I picked the fried chicken, fried mashed potato (perkedel) and a little bit disappointment at the end, why I didn't order the rendang also. The vegetables, coconut milk soup, and the sambal include. That was so yummy. More important thing is this was the taste that I really missed since I move to Melbourne. 

NASI PADANG!!! with perkedel, fried chicken and their authentic vegetable soup

Since the portion of Nasi Padang was really huge (like you see at the picture), after returned to the hotel and have a small chat with my boyfriend by skype, we decided to sleep earlier. I was tired and so sleepy.

I rented a scooter the next day, so I can ride around. I spent Rp70.000 a day for rented it. Since I brought a lip gloss that my friend asked me to buy, I had to sent it to her. Then it was my first destination, looking for shipping company to shipped her order. Of course I depended on my google map.

After sent it, I had a plan to have another culinary trip. I really wanted to have Indonesian authentic food around, like bakso, siomay, penyetan, etc. Since this kind of food are street food, of course the google map can't showed me the places. At the end, I decided to go to Krisna, a big gift shop at sunset road.

Since actually I didn't plan to buy anything, so I just walked around this place. Suddenly a woman gave me a voucher. It said I can have a free photo using traditional Balinese Costume. Since it was free, why not. LOL. So it was indeed free for one piece of photo. You want more? You should pay.

Near Krisna, they had this small restaurant that had lots of food vendors. Lucky! They also sells siomay and chicken noodle (mie ayam). So I ordered each. But there was also gado-gado, I also interested with it. Luckily I wasn't ordered it. Or it will be wasted.

Mie Ayam (chicken noodle). Even the taste is actually not freaking delicious, but this is enough to cure my hunger of Indonesian food taste

Siomay... the taste just like what i imagine

Another destination was Etude House. Google Map showed there is an Etude House at Kuta square, near Kuta beach. So I planned to go there. But since I didn't know Balinese traffic, I thought I was trapped in the one way street. In order to avoided the police, I turn to one place that had starbucks in it. So I had to get inside the starbucks, to calm me down. I ordered cold cappucino by the way, because the wather was so hot, and also one slice of red velvet cake. It still my favorite cake at Starbuck.

Starbucks menu that I always choose. Cappucino plain (sometimes hot sometimes cold with no whipping cream) and red velvet cake

After I managed my panic, I asked the staff about the street that I thought was one way street. She said actually it's not. So I was right then. Oh well, back to the first plan, looking for Etude House.

I also asked the staff the nearest way to go to Kuta beach. She told me that I can follow the road, and at the end of the road I just have to turn left, then I arrived. But apparently i took the wrong turn. It makes me went to Seminyak beach. If I didn't have any plan, maybe I will stopped at Seminyak beach and enjoy the sunset.

Arrived at Kuta Square, I ride my scooter really slow to find the Etude House. But I didn't find any Etude House arround. So I parked my scooter near the beach, and tried to look at their beachwalk mall first. I thought I was like any other shopping mall right. You can find anything inside, include this Etude House. But, walked around the beachwalk mall I didn't see any Etude House around. So I walked out and started to walked to Kuta Square. I thought I might be missed it, so I walked there to find it.

Walked around Kuta Square twice, and still couldn't find it, I gave up. So I returned to the hotel, tired. Before I returned to my room, I told the receptionist that I will have a late check out the day after. Because my plane from Bali was at 8pm to Jakarta, and the real checked out from this hotel is 1pm.
For this time, my flight was Bali-Jakarta-Melbourne. It was almost a day journey. Too bad, since I asked to checked out at 6pm, they charged me Rp400.000. It was way more expensive than my own room. I payed only Rp200.000 per night for my room. But they offered me to check out at 3pm and I just only payed Rp300.000. Still more expensive than my room tho, but I should accepted it.

That night, I planned to eat at Lemongrass Restaurant. One of Thailand Restaurant I found around. Seems like the food at this restaurant is delicious. So I've tried to walked there that night. But, the restaurant already full. And I feel uncomfortable to had dinner outside alone, in the place that full of people. So I decided to take away pizza from the Italian restaurant beside the hotel. The restaurant called Bella Italia. 

Take away pizza from Bella Italia, taste good

Since it just beside the hotel, take away delivery wasn't bad at all. The pizza also delicious, and it already fit with Indonesian people taste.

Last Day at Bali

After checked out at 3pm, I arrived around 4pm at the airport. Said that because of the traffic jam there. Since my flight still 4 hours, I could try one of Balinese famous cuisine: Ayam Betutu. This ayam betutu restaurant placed near the domestic arrival terminal. So I came and order a quarter of ayam betutu (it just a maryland part of the chicken) and it came with the vegetables, fried peanuts, tomato sambal and sambal matah. I had to pay more to have a small portion of rice.

a portion of a quarter Ayam Betutu Khas Gilimanuk. The fried peanut, vegetables and two sambals are include,exclude rice

The chicken is delicious, too bad the portion is too small. Eat this chicken while it still hot. When it's a little bit cold, you can taste the fishy smell, but still delicious tho.

Since my flight was not yet mention, quick check in didn't help me a lot. Because I did a connecting flight. at that time the ground staff only able to help my domestic flight. They said the flight from Jakarta to Melbourne check in counter is not open yet. They said, all I going to do was re-check in at Jakarta. But I still worried, what if that Bali flight is delay? What makes me sure that the plane will not going to leave me. At the end, they told me to asked to the Garuda staff near the gate a half hour before my flight to Jakarta, about my name at Melbourne flight.

So I was right, the Bali to Jakarta flight was delayed. From 8.15pm schedule, it flew at 9pm. Luckily my connecting flight to Melbourne already have my name automatically check. The flight to Jakarta was scared me out. It full of turbulance, and made me really scared. I shaking so much, and my palm was so cold. I never had this condition before.

Arrived at Jakarta, I am amazed that Garuda Indonesia now only in one terminal (terminal 3). Before you have to change your terminal if you want to use international flight. to terminal 2. Not now. All in one terminal. But to get to the connecting flight, from the arrival gate, I had to go to the third floor, and walked far away to the international counter, which is at counter 2. While when I arrived at third floor, the first counter was counter 18 (the last counter).

Great things about this, that all Garuda Indonesia's flight now start and end at this terminal. I really like it, LOL. Same like Qantas in Melbourne. Qantas have their own terminal for their domestic and international flight. It's about time Garuda Indonesia.

This terminal immigration service also modern now. You can do self check for your passport in here. Since I didn't know that the machine already worked, I did a manual check. When I asked the staff, they said the machine is work perfectly fine, I can do my check there, but I already in front of this  guy, so I thought next time maybe.

I also had to let all my new face cleaner, conditioner, and hair spa cream away. Because they said no liquid at carry on bag more than 100ml. As long as I remember, when I went to Melbourne from Bali it 150ml, now it's 100ml. What a turd!!

When it board at 11.15pm, I already tired, plus I drank a sleeping pill. Because I never able to sleep at the airplane. So I took it before the take off. I was hopping I had my own seat, so I can sleep lying down. Unfortunately, I got four seated, and it already an old lady beside me, and another woman at the other end. But the middle sit is empty. So after a small chat with the lady, I finally fall a sleep, lying down. Too bad I missed the late snack, so I didn't get the wine.

Finally, after 6 hours flight, I touched down again at Melbourne. Strong and windy winter Melbourne welcomed me. Oh well, now having another story for the next three months before going back to Indonesia. Hello again Melbourne... :)
