First Trip to Australia: Taronga Zoo
After a good night‘s rest, our energy was almost restored, and we were ready to explore Sydney properly. And since the accommodation package did not come with free breakfast, the first thing we did was to hit the supermarket for a homemade brekkie to fill our stomachs and bring our energy level from 8 to 10.
One thing that surprised me was that the price here was not cheaper than in Singapore, even though Australia can produce most of its food, and Singapore imports nearly everything. Perhaps we should be more grateful for the good work those folks in Singapore‘s trade ministry have been doing behind the scenes. They must have negotiated hard for the best price of goods in our local supermarkets. The only produce that was much cheaper and tastier in Australia was their homegrown mangoes and blueberries. Oh man, you can never find those top quality in Singapore, even if you look in the top supermarkets. They were big, juicy, and very super sweet. So sweet that I can still feel their taste in my mouth, almost one year, since I last, savored them.
