Western Australian cities are full of arcades! Arcades as in those windy pathways through buildings, not the Street Fighter Dance Dance Time Crisis ones.
I've been in Perth for a week visiting my girlfriend.
These arcades are mostly full of the same stores. Each one has a Miss Maud Swedish cake shop, a Croissant Express, a Dome cafe and a Gelare icecream store. But they also have enough variety to keep me interested.
What surprised me the most about Perth was the size of everything. All the stores, parks, roads and schools are just bigger. And everyone walks slower. The city also closes super early.
Anyway I enjoy the arcades a lot. The kind of maze-like feeling you get from walking up and down and winding through buildings.
Maybe the real reason it's so enjoyable is that I haven't really travelled before. I've been to places, but I was only tagging along with my parents. I'd walk around myself sometimes, but it wasn't MY holiday.
I can imagine how fun it'd be to visit an even more matured city, at least some place with more than 200 years history.

Today I woke up, showered, caught up with Melbourne news on the Age, had Jap curry on toast for breaky, went to return a book to the Curtin Uni library, went to Freemantle where it was pouring down like no tomorrow, found an interesting spice store, walked through lots of arcades to avoid the rain, got to a Cincerella's (?) fish and chips store and had grilled fish, garfish, chips and battered oysters, went to L2 cafe near Freemantle station for a coffee and hot chocolate, bought Asian groceries at Northbridge, ran into the state library to go to the toilet, came home and gazed at some Korean drama (Oh My Girl?), showered again because I was so drenched, had udon with carrots and fishballs for dinner, thought about game ideas for school and watched 5 episodes of Honey and Clover.
