Joyous Spring in Canberra

Canberra was my last recess week trip and also my first solo trip. I decided to go for the Floriade Spring Festival as this is my first time experiencing Spring! Traveling alone wasn't that bad as I can do whatever I want. Although when I reached Canberra at night, the place was kind of scary. There were drunkards everywhere along the streets and I can here shouts here and there. Luckily I made it to my hostel safe and sound! :)

I saw this scene of white everywhere the next morning and I thought it was snow! I was so touched but later I found out there were just some plant spores. What a pity, I still dream of really seeing snow one day! Missed the chance to go to snowy mountains during winter cos I hesitated too much! :(


Then I headed to Floriade, I was greeted by a million colorful flowers!! What a beauty! :D







So this is what spring is like! If only Singapore have seasons.


There were many other showcases like gnomes and gardens in the festival.



Buskers were everywhere! Though they are around in Singapore too, but we're always too busy to stop and look at them.


It was a great way to end the recess week, lazing in the midst of spring and listening to talented musicians. It would had been perfect if I can share this joy of spring with someone special. :)
