Finally we'd been to Royal Easter Show

Well, Royal Easter Show is an annual event in Sydney which takes place at Olympic Park, Sydney almost 2 weeks in April. Due to the place is not that far from where we live, we just kept our eyes shut for the past years for not going there. But, dunno why we feel the urge to go and wanting to experience what that is. We took a train from Auburn to Lidcombe (just one stop) and changed to another train to Olympic Park, as that was the easiest mode of transport to that event. Guess how long we spent our time there? 6 hours walking and walking..since there were a lot of booths and shows too see. I can say that it's not only celebrating easter by itself but rather it is a combination of a spectacular algricultural shows and theme parks and other commercial stuffs like from woolworths and sales on perfumes, women clothings, chocolates, all sorts of stuffs. We never seen anything than bigger fat cows rows by rows and well groomed! And we got to buy some cheap discounted ori Crocs sandals too. I also intrigued by the fact that how this kind of event appreciated cottage-like industries like there were many tournaments/ competitions on such as who make the best tea cakes, jams, chutney, painting, drawing, sheep's wool, etc..etc..and all were displayed. What a great idea..like my hubby said it would be nice in our country to have this kind of competitions like who make the best kind of nasi lemak, kuih karipap etc, etc..it must be a whole lot of fun.
Well, anough said, let's look some pics that we managed to snap..



All in all we had a nice trip. So much to see..but we managed to "tahan" ourselves not too spend that much and yes we did! Bile sampai rumah..masing2 flat.
