Just came back from a trip from down south... With Jack, Da Jie Jie, his parents and his nephew...

Lots of interesting incidents happened along the way...

Day 1

We set off at 8:00am and drove on... After 2 hours we got to Bunbury... then we drove on for a further... 2 hours? and we stopped at a place called Manjimup Chinese restaurant for lunch, cuz Jack's dad insisted on having chinese.

What are your first thought??? When I saw it I thought it wasn't open... cuz the curtains were all drawn... until I saw the open sign...

Went in, sat down, ate a plate of fried noodles and fried chow meehoon...

They provided a super super huge portion of noodles BUT it tasted horrible... the fried bee hoon had no salt (NO TASTE) and the noodles were too salty~!!!!!!!

That was all we had and guess what the bill turned out to be???

Da Jie Jie: $41
Jack's Nephew (Let's call him man zai) : $65-75
Kaiting: $35

Your guess???

$74.50 for 6 people...

OUCH~!~!!!!! We were very unhappy though... Firstly... we didn't ask for a 1.5 portion, they just took it into their own hands to do 1.5 portion for everyone... and who on earth charges $2 for a cup of chinese tea???? That's just crazy~!!!!!!

So the moral of the story??? NEVER go to manjimup chinese restaurant for food...

Then we went to this place called the diamond tree... the 3rd(I think) highest look out place... U could climb all the way up... it was SCARY... Imagine climbing 52m above ground and looking down... Sorry it's just not for me... I only climbed like 10 steps??? Max 20... and I already couldn't take it... Don't blame me for being scared of heights~!!!! haha...

Looking up~!!!!!!! Does it make u nauseous??? hehe

Next we drove on to Pemberton...

WE checked into a quaint little cottage house with 3 bed rooms, 2 having 1 double bed each and 1 having a double deck bed and 1 single bed... I absolutely adore the house even tho it doesn't have very nice bathroom and toilet... (Maybe cuz the tiles were green and the water had no pressure coming out of the shower head) BUT...

Where do you find a chalet with electric blankets in bed, a nice kitchen (mind you with utensils provided and stove, microwave and fridge... and even salt and pepper lest you needed to cook), a fireplace, TV and DVD player, plus towels and face towels and even hangers included...?????

They even had a backyard and bbq stove included~!!!!! The surrounding nature was beautiful... Lush green grass with chickens, sheep, dogs, and even a lop eared rabbit that I affectionately call bit bit (In my mind)
