Woke up the latest again -.- around 6.20a.m. . After the same old breakfast , we went to the Writers Centre to have a writing workshop with Mr Kevin. We learnt about how to write stories . He asked us to imagine and be creative. He ask us to close our eyes and imagine a character which i think most are sleeping . He do not mind if the character was very ridiculous as long as we are creative. we went to this awesome big field and played a game. The game was to close our eyes and walk straight while imagining someone having a chat with us. It was fun and many people walked weirdly.
We ate burgers and fries as lunch before going to the Art Gallery to learn about aboriginal culture and history through art . WE learn about how the moon and the crying bird was formed . WE also learn about the culture how they bury people etc . It was a wonderful learning trip. After that we went to the factory outlets to shop for clothes and etc . There were many discounts in most shops and I got my clothes at a very low price! Even the Cotton On clothes sold at such low prices at $5 or $10!
We had pizza before going back to the hotel. What a unhealthy diet today -.-

Second Day in cold Perth
Woke up at 6AM today which was extremely early. I did not feel like getting out of bed as I was that exhausted. Despite all that, I had a wonderful pancakes for breakfast before going to Wanneroo Senior High. There was a huge difference in our education system. They have laptops each provided by their school and their classes was very fun. I really enjoyed the 2 classes which was social studies and english where we did a quiz and a presentation on our country given by the teacher-in-charge. Before we end our day in the school, we went into a theater which was called 'Dungeon' and it scared me even though my friends were disturbing the 'ghost'
After we had our lunch at an Italian restaurant before heading to WA State Library. We learn about their facilities provided to the public, such as reading newspaper from the year 1943. We also see the difference between the past and present.
Today had been a perfect and fu;filing day.

Perth: Day One
Landed in perth 30 min earlier than expected . The weather was cold like in a super cold aircon room .
Our bus uncle , Uncle brandon , was very kind to explain to us about every place we pass by and brought us to wonderful places that gives out the old feel.
After that we went to Cavernsham Wildlife Park and learnt a lot about kangaroos , koalas and cute wombat :D We also get to feed the kangaroos too.
My favourite part was the visit to the Parliment House but sadly, we were not able to take any pictures of it. We got to enter the legistative room and sat on chairs where various ministers sat on before. Plus we acted out based on the scripts, how a conference is held. Sitting on the chair made me feel superior.
Tomorrow we will be visiting the Waneeroo Senior High School and attend classes with them. Cant wait to see how different our education standard is.

Not to be missed !
Here are some famous sightseeing areas introduced by <lonely planet> and other web sources
1.Valley of giants, a place where giant tingle trees live for up to 400 years. They can grow up to 60m tall and 16m around the based ! Where people walk amongs the ancient empire and explore the relevated realm of canopy on the magical Tree Top Walk .
2.Marine Park where people are able to see beautiful corals and also maybe dive into the underwater world where whale sharks and manta rays can be seen :O But in order to see the sharks , the most suitable timing are between the month of May and July .
3.Caversham Wildlife Park now features about 200 species, and more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles; most housed in a walk-through environment. The park is the premiere development of its kind in Western Australia, attracting visitors from all over the world. Such is the park’s status, that some of its breeding programs are officially recognised by Australian Zoos.
4.Wave Rock is a natural rock formation that is shaped like a tall breaking ocean wave. The "wave" is about 14 m (47 ft) high and around 110 m (350 ft) long. It forms the north side of a solitary hill, which is known as "Hyden Rock." This hill, which is a granite inselberg, lies about 3 km east of the small town of Hyden and 296 km east-southeast of Perth, Western AustraliaWave Rock and Hyden Rock are part of a 160-hectare nature reserve, Hyden Wildlife Park.

Religon and the Culture :D
The main religon in PERTH is Christiany . There are about 23% who are Roman catholics , 28% whom are Anglican(another form of Christiany), 11% are not specific as to their beliefs while the remaining are either Buddhism, Islam, Jewish or Hindus
To me it seems like Perth is a very artistic place. It is the home for the West Australian Opera , Ballet and Symphony Orchestra . Such as place like the one below the maritime museum ,
The Swan Bell
All have a very artistic Look . It looks diffrent and very special :D
Perth it is not only artistic , they also have the Largest inner -city park in the world called Kings park , is located in central Perth between the CBD and the University of Western Australia, at about 4.06 square kilometres
Another interesting place is the Perth Zoowhere houses a variety of Australian and exotic animals from around the globe. The zoo is home to highly successful breeding programs for orangutans and giraffes, and participates in captive breeding and reintroduction efforts for a number of Western Australian species, including the numbat, the dibbler, the chuditch, and the western swamp tortoise.

Perth and it's little history :D
Perth is the capital and also the largest city of Australian state of Western Australia, which was found on the 12 of June 1829
It have a estimated population of 1.74 million living in Perth metropolitan area ! We are estimated 3,916.2 kilometres (2,433.42 miles) away from Perth and it takes 5 hours from here to reach there , a rather long flight to me ... X.X
As part of Perth's role as the capital of Western Australia, the state's Parliament ,Supreme Court, as well as Government House and the residence of the Governor of Western Australia are located within the city. :0
Now .. Abit of history on perth ^.^
Before the Europeans colonisation , the area was actually inhabited by the Whadjuk Noongar people for OVER 40,000 years based on the evidenced by an archaeological findings on the Upper Swan River . The wetlands on the Swan Coastal Plain were particularly important to them both spiritually and in the source of food. The area where Perth now stands was used to called Boorloo by the Aboriginals living there at the time of their first contact with Europeans in 1827.
The first documented European sighting of the region was made by the Dutch Captain Willem de Vlamingh and his crew on 10 January 1697 .
