Hello, I'm Angelo and I'm from Rome Italy. I've just come to Australia from Italy. I'm going to stay in Melbourne for a while and I've gone to the other states. I wonder if Melbourne is going to be as small as a mouse like the ACT, or if it’s going to be as big as a T-Rex like Western Australia?
I want to go see the Eureka Tower cause I've heard it's the tallest tower in Melbourne, I wonder how ugly Federation square is? I wonder if there’s going to be a mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral while I'm here? I wonder if I can catch a train from Flinders Street Station to the hotel? I keep hearing words of yummy cotton candy. I'm starting to get hungry. I wonder if there's any 5 star restaurants around?
I'm thinking tomorrow I might go to the zoo. I wonder what animals are going to be at the zoo, maybe giraffes, maybe they'll have a safari? I wonder how popular the zoo is? Maybe I might find some friends in Melbourne, because they've come from Italy too?
I wonder how interesting Melbourne would be because the other states were interesting? My favourite thing in the Northern Territory was seeing Malcolm, Malcolm, Malcolm… Whatever his name is, he was really cool, he even gave me some souvenirs. Ohh my favourite thing from Queensland was Dreamworld, it was so fun that I stayed and watched the light show until it’d closed.
I actually think my parents brought me here when I was about 3 years old, they'd also come here for their honeymoon. I've heard there's a show called the Melbourne show, if it's on, I’ll see if I can get tickets, and if I do, I'll go see the Masterchef Kitchen. I've heard it's really big! I wonder if there will be any other cool things there? Maybe I'll invite my other friends from Italy for a party!!!
I really don't want to leave Melbourne, but I have to because my leader in Rome said I can go overseas for 3 months, and my 3 months are nearly over, I only have just under 5 weeks left. So I'll have to make the most of for my last few weeks. I'm very very sad :-(
I had a good time in Melbourne, but at least I've ticked everything off my list. I really don't want to leave Melbourne, I'd had a really good time. I'll miss Melbourne, it's been my fun vacation ever!!!
For a while.
