Adelaide Botanic Garden
my favorite spot in adelaide :)
The Rundle Mall Pigs
i'm a swinophobic so it was a rare occasion that i found myself agreeing to take photos beside these statues. Jen told me that it is a must for first timers in Adeleide! Oh ayan! haha!
Birthday dinner at Hog's Breath Cafe
lovely birthday dinner! i was touched by Jen and Norman's birthday surprise! as childish as it may sound, i heart people singing happy birthday to me. i get all giddy and hyper. and so, i was grinning like a kindergardeter when the staff sang happy birthday to me PLUS i got to blow a birthday candle. Bliss!

Final Thoughts about Adelaide
Adelaide will always be dear to me. This was my first time to celebrate my birthday away from home and it was truly memorable. I have met and gained new friends which i think is an added bonus to this overall bonanza.
This whole australia trip may have gained me a few pounds, caused me a shade darker skintone, burned my pocket, but it also made me emotionally, mentally and physically healthy. Suffice to say that i went back to Jakarta in a more steadier disposition and i have to thank my oz family for that! Charoooooz! hahaha!
Dear Australia, i'll see you very soon! wait for me, will ya? oz oz oi oi! Fondly, Madel
