Canberra!

Short Trip at Canberra!

Transport: Murray Bus ($53)
Accommodation: YHA ($34 per night)

We stay at a dorm with 8 beds.

Rooms looks old and the pillow provided are yellowish.
The blanket looks thin but it actually quite warm during the night.

But I don't like they separate us in different rooms and have to share with strangers

Also, we had a free 'drama' at the midnight.

Shared bathroom and toilet

Clean with nice design as renovation just done

i like the idea that separate the bath area and have a small place to put cloths

ensure that the cloths wont get wet

Day trip starts

Unlimited ride for one day

with concession $ 3.80

National Library

First Stop : The National Science and Technology Centre

by Australia and Japan

a rock that produce sound with some physic theory

The oval shape is Moibus puzzle.

Twisted loop with no end

This is Szillassi Polyhedron.
Every side have seven edge if not mistaken

This is flickering leaves

Do you notice the red and blue oval? This pair is a whispering dishes.

Still remember when we were young, we stick cups at the two ends of thread and talk.

This is something similar with this idea but with no thread

This thing is awesome.

It use Physic to create path for balls to roll around.

Aha, look at all these small toys.

They are actually bacteria or microorganism that we learned during form1

got red blood cell, amoeba etc

Notice the different?
Right hand is Vacuum pump and the other side is pressure pump

water are pump up using these pump

If you have purchased the ticket,

this must try.

put your head and hands in the hole.
Then the sensor will move the "knife" upwards then drop it down at a fast speed.

For sure you will get scared as you can feel the wind at your neck.

Cam Wave

air ship

Still got lots of thing in Science Center but we didn't purchase tickets to enter.

Next Stop : Old Parliament House

Following Stop : New Parliament House

when we reached the parliament house was closed for visit.

Next Stop : Australia National University

something like urbanest

ANU Faculty of Business and Economics

we only manage to visit small part of ANU.

ANU is at least 5times bigger than Macquarie.

Then we went the Sunday Market at Kingston Street and have lunch at Manuka.
No photos taken.

Conclusion : Canberra is indeed a dead city. Is rather quiet and peaceful over there.
