Happy New Year. I'm gonna fly a bird, baby! Let's play in my catwalk. Let's sing with our eyes. Let's spend this night together. Let the fire burn inside our hearts. Let's open up all the pleasures. Welcome to Melbourne! One, two, three, four. Six, three, five. Oh, it's cute! Leaving all our bags here. Oh my goodness. The city of graffiti. Like we're like in New York. I like the scallops and the pomegranate. That's so cool. Wow, Melbourne is really so artsy. Made it to our first shop! Sold out of everything. Everything. And we're not even that late. But we picked up a haji chai latte just so, you know. We felt like we went and did something. It's good though. We're sticking up. I don't usually like haji chocolate, but this is nice. We're now heading to Queen Victoria Market. We've been here for like, what, 30 minutes? And we're like, considering moving. Everyone just feels like, come here. We've made it to the dairy haul. And there's all these breads and cheeses. And deli meat. Pies, cakes. First food for the day. Spicy lamb and veggie p- Not pide. Borek. And I didn't know this existed until I googled like, must eat. And then we also got cheese bratwurst. Bratwurst, bratwurst. What do you think? Shall we try the bratwurst? What do you think? I'm excited. I mean, I like it. We ordered three madeleines. And then, and then, the Korean garlic bread. They make these with cream cheese. It's like sweet and garlic-y. It's gonna be amazing. And then also got some tea. She said we should have that first. Yeah, the garlic bread. I really want to try this. I know. Oh my god, oh my god. And then like, the jelly. It's like a whole potato. It's a little gold leaf. So good. I'm so full from eating like five desserts in a row, so. Planning on taking a little walk around. And the entire goal of walking around is to make us all hungry again. Because our next stop is another food trip. Let's just do a couple rounds of the block. Everything's too close to each other. Because I was like, oh, we'll walk then and we'll be hungry. But it's a ten minute walk. So we have to keep walking past it. Nighttime Melbourne. I love the buildings here. The alleyways are so cute. That one's kind of like ugly. Yeah. What is that? I don't know, but it's funny. I feel like I look like this. Oh, I see the similarity. I wanted to say that. We need to take a walk. Another state library. It's almost closing time, so we can't go in. But we came. We are here. Can we try some flash photography? Oh, yeah. Can we try? Yeah. Both of us used to like hate taking photos with flash. But then now, like every time. For some reason, yeah, they turn out good. But like, maybe we should try it. Right, like here. Pass me your phone, poor buddy. You have to hold still there. Oh, okay. Yeah, wait, wait, yeah. You'd be cheeky, yeah. Aw, they're so cute. There's one coming, there's one coming. We just stumbled upon Sobin. Maybe we should go after. Should we go? I feel like we can't not go. My heart like leapt when I saw it. I didn't feel, I feel so like, you know, 감동. When I saw it. I know. Oh my god, I haven't seen Sobin in so long. I mean, we're having an early dinner anyway. Yeah, exactly. We can just get one bingsu, you know? How many will we plan on getting? It looks like we just came to a food court. But this is actually Michelin star. The only like, Michelin star meal under $10. Yeah. But like, does he still have his Michelin star? I don't think he... Okay, wait, listen. Don't disrespect him. I just want to know. This is our first night's dinner. I really wish they would play some music or something. Because like... It's so quiet here. We can sing, we can sing. Play like bang, bang, bang. We'll be busking. This is the soya chicken hock. And then this is the chashu pork with rice. Also got some cream and croissant plantain. Which is really good. So this is what they're known for, right? I don't know which specific dish. But probably this one, right? I think it was that. This was number one on the list. Oh my god, it looks really nice. Red. Red in Sydney. Yeah, what? Why don't we have lanterns? Huh? What the heck? Even the red car lights. Is this like a club or something? Yeah, is it a club? A club. Oh, they're lining up for a Shanghai news play. Oh, cute. Oh, dumpling house? What is a club? Just join the line for serving. Look at them. Oh, is this the original store? Why is he everywhere? And why doesn't he go to like a bar or club? It's Friday night. Why is he in office work? Go to the club. When we were planning this Melbourne trip, we like saw someone say that they bumped into Troye Sivan. What was the call? And I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. And then yesterday, I see someone bumped into Troye Sivan at a cafe. Troye Sivan lives in Melbourne, by the way. I only just knew this. I didn't know he was Australian. Wait, no. Nez was like, it's so weird. Like, wow, he's going to such random places. And I was like, what do you mean? He like lives in Melbourne, right? And then Nez is like, wait, isn't he just on tour here? And I was like, he's Australian. He lives in Melbourne. And she was like, wow. That's crazy. I literally thought he was American. He's an Australian icon. We like claim Troye. Like, that's really cool that we had Troye Sivan. I literally didn't know that he was Australian. But anyway, we learn something new every day. So now that I know that Troye Sivan is Australian, and he lives in Melbourne, and people are just bumping into him everywhere. No, he's everywhere. So I was like, maybe we'll just bump into him somewhere, right? I literally just opened my phone, and we passed office work today, guys. And we said we were going to go. We literally said. Like, we literally joked, like, oh, we should go to office work. I opened my phone, and someone bumped into Troye at office work. That's literally. Isn't that the guy who, like, worked there? Yeah. And he went to that office work. But what is he? It's a Friday night. We didn't go to office work today. It's literally a Friday night, though. We literally passed his office work today. We literally. We probably walked by him. I swear to God. No, you remember how. Yeah, we were like, he looks like Troye Sivan. On our way to the hotel, we were like, being like, oh, to be with Troye Sivan. Melbourne will be a failure if we don't see Troye Sivan, I swear. We have to see him now. It's personal. What? Someone commented. Of the 10 friends that I know in Melbourne. All of them have seen him. Four of them have bumped into Troye Sivan. So we have a 40% chance then. Almost half that we'll see him. We have to keep our eyes peeled. We have to bump into Troye Sivan. We have to keep our eyes peeled then. Let's go, because we have to go out to increase our chances. We've got to go now. I don't care, babe. I can't believe I didn't know he was Australian. He bumped into you. Yeah, he's literally an icon. What if we actually bump into each other? We'll start laughing. Good morning. My face is so swollen. We're currently in line at Loon. We came pretty much around opening time, so there's not that much of a line yet. They still are lined up. But I heard that there's usually an hour wait, so I'm really glad. If you don't come to Loon, it's like you didn't come to Melbourne. Well, people say this is the best croissant in the world. Really? That's what people say. Not in Paris? No. It's right here in Fitzroy. Thank you very much. Walking to our next cafe. Loon is takeaway only, so we don't have anywhere to sit. We have to eat them before we get to eat coffee at Loon. We pull up with a Loon bag. These streets are all so pretty. That house is too rich for me to comprehend it. Oh my god, there's two. They have a wrecking ball on each side. Oh, it's a lamp. It's a lamp. I was like, they just have a wrecking ball at their house. It's so cool. Oh my god. The flakes. Good? Oh my god, look at how pretty. Wow. It's so good. Maybe this should be too much. Actually. Thank you. We literally have stark difference when we have coffee. Absolutely opposite. Is it good? A bit in your coffee. Should I stir it? It's like that rock salt thing, you know? Just walked into a random gallery. It's so pretty. A jacket, a vest, and... Today we're just going to be exploring this area around Carlton and Fitzroy. It kind of feels like Newtown in Sydney. Very artsy, hipster. Art galleries everywhere. They're pretty cheap as well. Newport in New York. You should get it. It's the Shocknator soundtrack. Get it. I get the Jazzy New York and you get Shocknator. Made it back to Sydney, guys. Came to check out this funky glasses shop. We saw that statue and we have to come in. Do they accentuate my eyes? Yeah, you don't even need to do your eyebrows anymore, look. Thank you. Let's just get that then. I really, really, really, really want that. Wow, wow, wow. That looks insane. Coconut brew. I'm so excited to try this. Oh my god. Good? Oh my god. How is it? You should try it. Wow. Look at that. It's like... It's glistening. I don't know why mall places don't do this. It's really good. Cool, right? Yeah. I'm like shaking. Me too. My legs are shaking. We just stumbled upon the cutest store. I don't really know what the concept of this store is. Colourful. It's just colourful. It sells everything. And everything is so colourful. I love this mirror. You look like a fly. This is ultimate style. Why does Sydney not have falling leaves? Look at her. You can actually see leaves falling. I've never seen that before. We haven't seen so many things. We haven't seen moving cranes. We haven't seen work in construction. We haven't seen yellow taxis. I haven't seen yellow leaves either. Lots of yellow. Dogs wearing clothes. Yeah. Greyhounds. Just so many greyhounds. Look, I'm crunching the leaves. That's just so full vibe. Wow. I've never done that. We can do a whole leaf pile. Oh yeah, you can sit here. Do you want to sit here and throw some leaves? Yeah. Have a leaf fight. How do you say latte? Latte. They just say latte. What the heck is going on? Whoa. We just came to pee. And we got teleported. Oh my god, they're wearing the gladiator sandals. I could have just leaped. They're just like, aye, aye, aye. I've done it. I feel like new people. And we're ready to take on this museum. The dinosaur exhibition was booked out, guys. Oh, it's world class triceratops. Yeah. It ain't just like normal. It's like the best triceratops you'll ever see. Devastated. Yeah, come with us. Hi. Whoa, look. It's the entire bridal procession. Do you see the bridal? Look, look, look, look, look, look. Just watching the fourth or fifth bridal procession behind us. Where is the bride and groom? There we go. They're so cute. Can you hit the end of the veil? That's going to be a good shot. Look at the light. It's so beautiful. We came to the park at the perfect time. Yeah, we caught the best 20 minutes, right? Yeah. And now it's like so peaceful. Can you look like- You have to like look back in wonder. Sorry, that was cold. Okay, look back in wonder. It is quarter past six. Oh, 6.20 now. So we need to go. We've just been chilling for a bit because we're so tired. We've walked 13,000 steps to get here, guys. It wasn't eight kilometers or something? Yeah, we walked eight kilometers. Now heading out for dinner and going to Seven Star Pocha and meeting Pam and Rachel who are from the Bubble Tea Club. Like, you know, just local things. Yeah. Welcome to Melbourne. Stay calm, Rachel. There's so much happening. Yes. It's the one.
