SAFAR NAMA
After getting green signal from Mr. Touqeer Khan that my trip around the world is Ok, I packet up my luggage and announce the date of departure, It was about fifteen days before my departure. Since then it’s a kind of party going on every single day on Sohni Dharti place. B.B.Q and Sham Kalian is part of it.
On the day of departure few of my friends were on airport to see my of, it was a very good and smooth flight from Auckland to Melbourne, about 8 O’clock our Quanta’s Plane touch down on the soil of Melbourne. It was a high season for the Hostelling and back packing because a Australian Open Tennis Tournament. At the Melbourne Airport system was very good to hire place for accommodation but due to this Tournament all Hotels and back packer were fully booked. We rang most of them and answer was sorry, we are fully booked due to this Tournament. In mean time we can across with a back packers Hotel agent, who was offering few of German Tours in central back packer Hotel. (Martta kia na kartta) I settled on a twin bedroom, from Airport to back packer’s rides was free. So it saved us bit of fund. In back pack Hotel it was very long Queue for those people who wanted to get him to back pack hotel. In this case we were lucky that we came to an agent, which made this whole lengthy process quite short. After setting our luggage in our room, have a long hot shower then we went out to see biggest open air Market of Australia. It is a kind of flee Market in Auckland but how big it is, it took us about 3 hours to roam around not even half of it. In this Market we discovered Mangoes, before leaving Auckland someone told me that it’s Ok you are going in very cold season but you want to be able to eat the specialty of Pakistan. Seeing these Mangoes they were exactly like Pakistani Mangoes and even aroma & taste of these Mangoes was like a Sindhree Mangoes in Pakistan. That was one of my wish to eat Pakistani Mangoes which was fulfilled prior to get in to Pakistan. In my sense if you go to Pakistan and Mangoes is the thing you must eat.
Melbourne is a Capital City of Stat Victoria, and Stat Victoria has got three other names like (the place to be) (Victoria on move) and (the garden Stat) after eating Mangoes we rang Marshal one of very best friend who lives in Melbourne for last two years, he asked me where I’m living and I told him back packer address and I told him the reason why I’m living in back packer, because we want the experience of Melbourne on over own. The concept of Melbourne on our own which he couldn’t understand & in a next hour he was on reception of our backpack hotel. He took us to his place and again it was a party on situation with one of my other best friend Malik Sohail. (Yarran nal Baharran) this is the concept and the one the Motto of my life. I couldn’t resist their hospitality and the seeing the Melbourne on our own was slipping away, I excused him for three nights to see Melbourne on our own. So that night we came back in our hotel had good rest and next morning we grab the tram from central city to un-known place. At the end of this journey we find out high point shopping center, its looks like every thing is massive in Melbourne. Calling it massive Melbourne wouldn’t be wrong. To cut the story short all say is take whole day or may be a whole week to check out what is hot and what is not.
As I said Melbourne is a massive City, its roads are massive, Suburbs are massive, houses are massive and rooms of those houses are massive as well. Lawn on front massive and lawn on back massive as well. This is not the story of one or two houses; almost every single house is massive. Sweetest thing on top of it, they are very cheep to buy, hundred thirty-five dollars of Australian Money you can buy a massive three bedroom house with all the basic facilities in. Most of Melbourne peoples enjoy a good and stress free life, there is no element of racism because most of Melbourne’s are immigrants from Europe to Arabs. Whether this hotter than Auckland and the land is very dry, in these months of January and February you wouldn’t be able to see green grass, or kind of forming as we see in country side in New Zeeland. Victoria is a Stat on a Plato of Barren land & it looks likes that you are running through a desert without desert storm.
THINGS YOU GOT TO DO:
Austria is vast continent, whit only 14 Million very sporty population, where ever you go in Australia from Perth to Sydney you will find big stadium in every Stat and as I said Melbourne is a massive Melbourne so it has cut Australian massive stadium M.C.G. which can hold about 1 Lac. Of spectators, you can go and see the stadium while game is on, otherwise you can go any time to see your fantastic sporting museum. No visit to M.C.G. is complete without eating a pie, the contents of which will always remain mystery.
PLAY TANNIS:
As we all know Melbourne is the home of tennis, and you will find more tennis courts then churches. It looks like the tennis is the region of Melbourne stat, and good things about Melbourne, then you can hire the courts where Champion usually play, which may be little expensive but otherwise all tennis sports are very reasonable.
YAARA RIVER.
Next to the casino flowing river Yaara, on the bank of Yaara River you will find amazing fountains, amazing night lights, restaurants, bars and cafés and don’t forget to check out the joint flame of casino crown.
POO WITH A VIEW:
This is the place where you can view all over the Melbourne without paying big money from the top of a skyscraper. Try out the bathrooms on the thirty fifth floor the softest tower, and how some view is for free. While doing the most important job of the day ‘POO’.
PAKISTANI.
That’s right; folks take tour to Watson’s streets, some day you may need to star but most days you will need some one from Pakistan.
MELBOURNE MUSEUM.
As I said early on, Melbourne is a massive it has massive museums as well which is biggest in Australia. It is so massive you can spend a day trying to see everything. I will request all museumgoers one day is enough; otherwise you may be reported missing.
B.B.Q:
One other interesting thing in Melbourne is the free Babay Q on the river bank of Yarra, just take few things to cook and a lot to drink. Sit back and relax watching beautiful nightlights and butterflies ‘if you can catch’ of Melbourne city.
