MELBOURNE

Hey guys! I'm Maria, and this is my own blog on blogger. Today I'm gonna show you one of the most crowded cities in Australia. This city is called Melbourne, and it's the biggest city in Australia. It is the capital of the state of Victoria, named by one of the British Queen's name. It has been the capital of Austalia for 26 years (1901-1927), and in 2011, it was chosen as the best city to live in in the whole world. Melbourne has its own flag:

There is a river which goes through Melbourne, so the peope takes ferrys to go from one side to the other one, just like in Seattle.

The city of melbourne hass too many atractives, but the place in Melbourne i liked the most, is Chinatown. Chinatown its located within the center, and the east of the city. There are plenty different restaurants in the area, but the best thing of Chinatown is the Asian food festival, which is held normally in Sping. In this peculiar festival,there are cooking demostrations, food stalls... Furthermore, there are a lot of shops, and my favourite one it is in a shopping centre located in the middle of Chinatown: Victoria's secret.

I also went to another place, where at the begining, I wasn't really happy to go, but in the end, i liked it. This place is Queen Victoria Market, which was built by the British empire. Queen Victoria Market, is one of the biggest open air markets. Currently, the Market is a big attraction for tourists, and the market sells all kinds of fruits and vegetables, meat poultry and seeafood, and delicatessen food. There is a non-food related market, where clothers, shoes and jewellery are sold.
