Western Oz Adventures: Swan Valley

One of the highlights of my trip to Perth was going to Swan Valley. Jex was able to visit it during one of his work trips with some of his office mates and brought home a lot of nice goodies. He wanted to take me there but a prerequisite of going around Swan Valley is a car (or some sort of transportation to bring you around). After summoning my Google-fu I found several Swan Valley tours that we could take but eventually chose the Speed Grazing tour with Taste Bud Tours.

Western Oz Adventures: Vegemite for Noobs

Vegemite is a popular Australian food spread made from yeast extract. I think I only know about it from the different travel shows I've seen. Other than knowing that it's an Australian thing I didn't know anything much about Vegemite until the day I decided I would try it.

Western Oz Adventures: First Fridate

Last Friday Jex took me out for dinner and to explore the Northbridge area. The last time I visited Perth I only stayed for two weeks and my exploration of the city was limited to the central business district, where we were staying. If you go on Tripadvisor and look up Northbridge it will say that it's "Perth's cultural and entertainment center" and you'll see a lot of negative reviews about the neighborhood. Well, as an area known for its night life, I didn't really expect much.

Hello Again, Oz - An Instagram Update

I'm back in Perth with Jex again. I've been looking forward to this trip with Jex because we'll be here for more than a month! Last time I only stayed for two weeks. I also get to spend my birthday with Jex, unlike last year.

Another exciting bit (well, for me anyway) is that I'll get to experience Perth winter. We've had oven weather in Manila for months now and I'd really like to escape to some cold weather. Wish granted! The night morning midnight we arrived it was 2.6°C!

Visiting Perth a.k.a. Honeymoon Part 2

I am a lazy kangaroo, just like in the photo above. Today, I am finally posting about my trip to Perth last December. Prepare for photo spam!

My Vacation So Far

Well-deserved or not, I'm loving my vacation so far.

My flights were on time and I enjoyed the food on board. I didn't get to go around Changi so much, even with the 2 hours layover. Getting out of the Perth airport took a while but was pretty hassle-free. Jex also surprised me by fetching me from the airport. He said he almost missed seeing me because there were so many people at the lobby and I was walking so fast. Reason was I was rushing to go the toilet haha.

I haven't taken a lot of photos because I am lazy. I forgot to bring my kit lens so I only have my 50mm and unless I have the luxury of time I usually just take photos with my phone.

Here are my instagrams so far since the start of the trip. It's not a lot, though, but whatevs. Oh, and most photos are of food, by the way, because I like food.

Bought some sunnies from Cotton On in Changi T2.
They had a 2 for  $20 deal and teal frames so I couldn't resist!
