Perth, Western Australia (Day 5)

It's Mother's Day today.

Feel so 'pai seh' to disturb Mr.Wong and his family as they have 2 strangers to celebrate Mother's Day together this year. They were celebrating this special day by treating Mrs.Wong a delicious dim sum at Six Happiness located in city. It's our pleasure to join them. We bothered them so much today as they got to drive 2 cars to city for brunch. The traffic law there is very strict. 5 person in a car means only 5 and you can't tolerate even hand carry one more baby (fyi, toddlers below 2 years must be seated inside a car seat). So we can't squeeze everyone inside a car even the car is big enough to cater 7 of us like how we usually did in Malaysia.

The restaurant open at 10am but by the time we reached (around 10.30am), it was already full house. We took a number and wait outside for almost 20minutes. The waiting crowd getting bigger by the time our number being called. By looking at the crowd, we must agreed that this restaurant serves very tasty dim sum even we are yet to taste because comparing to the next door restaurant which only half of the tables being occupied. Emm....yummy, we are truly satisfied with the dim sum they served. I like the 'fried mini fish' with egg inside and 'fried baby crab' so much.

After the brunch, Mr.Wong brought us to the city centre and guide us the route for sightseeing and shopping. With the map on hand, we won't be losing our way. We assured them and they left us to explore the city by our own.

We walked from one corner to the other as per the route suggestion inside the map. I think we have marked a record of 5km walking distance in Perth City. *Phew*. Even though I find it quite tiring but it was a nice and relaxing experience. My only complaint : both legs' muscles were exhausted and so painful.

This is not statue but real women!

Time to go home now. We will be taking LRT and bus to go back to Mr.Wong house by our own. Not a problem at all. People there are helpful and there have a good safety environment, so we don't have much worried. Unlike Mr.Wong, he worried that we might taken the wrong bus or miss the bus station where we suppose to stop, he purposely walked to the bus station and wait for us. A big thanks to him!
