Let's spend this night together
Let the fire burn inside our hearts
Welcome to Melbourne!
1, 2, 3, 4
6, 3, 5
Oh, it's cute!
Leaving all our stuff
Oh my goodness!
The city of graffiti
Like we're in New York
Sold out on everything
Everything
And we're not even that late
But we picked up a hojicha 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 hojicha 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 happier
Dairy haul
And then cheeses
And deli meats
Oh, pies, cakes
First food for the day
Spicy lamb and veggie pi-
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
It's good
Really good
Shall we try the garlic bread?
We ordered three madeleines
Coffee, vanilla
And then, and then
The Korean garlic bread
Make these with cream cheese
It's like sweet
And garlic meat
It's gonna be amazing
And then also got some tea
She said we should have that first
Yeah, the garlic bread
Okay
I really want to try this
I know
Oh my god, oh my god
It's like a whole banana
It's a little gold leaf
We're all from eating like five desserts in one go
So we're 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 truck
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 10 minute walk
So we have to keep walking past it
Nighttime Melbourne
Love the buildings here
The alleyways are so cute
I like the block
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 in flash
But then now like every time
For some reason, yeah
Maybe we should try it
Like here
Pass me your handphone
Cool buddy
You have to hold still there
Okay
Wait, yeah
Be cheeky
Aw, that's so cute
There's one coming
We just stumbled upon Sobin
Maybe we should go after
Shall we go?
I feel like we might 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
Wait
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
The only Michelin star
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
Wait, I just want to know
But like
This is our first night's dinner
I really wish they would play some music or something
Because like
It's just so quiet here
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 spring 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 would be that
This was number one on the list
Have a plate
They cook really well
Oh my god, it looks so nice
Pretty good in Sydney
Yeah, what?
Why don't we have lanterns?
Huh?
What the heck?
Yeah, is it a club?
A club
Oh, cute
Oh, dumpling house?
What is a club?
Thanks for serving
Oh, it is the original store
They were planning this Melbourne trip
We like saw someone say that
They bumped into Troye Sivan
How was it?
How was it cold?
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 was 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 so crazy
I literally thought he was American
He's an Australian icon
We like claim Troye
Like, that's really cool
I literally didn't know that he was Australian
But anyways, you 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 I
We passed Officeworks today, guys
And we said we were going to go
We literally said
Like, we literally joked
Like, oh, we should go to Officeworks
I opened my phone
And someone bumped into Troye at Officeworks
Isn't that the guy who like works there?
And he went to that Officeworks
But what is he
It's a Friday night
We literally went to Officeworks today
It's literally a Friday night though
We literally passed this Officeworks today
We literally
We probably walked by him
I swear to God
No, we
Yeah, we were like, he looks like Troye Sivan
On our way back to the hotel
We were like being like
Oh, do you think that's Troye Sivan?
Melbourne will be a failure
If we don't see Troye Sivan, of course
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 been
Four of them have bumped into Troye Sivan
So we have a 40% chance then
Almost half
That will be 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 can't believe I didn't know he was Australian that day
Yeah, he's literally an idol
What if we actually bump into him?
We'll start like 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 like 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
So that was one almond, one creme brulee and one flat white
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
Otherwise we'll pull up with a Loon bag
The 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
Oh my god
The flakes
Oh, good
Oh my god, look at how flaky it is
It's so good
Maybe we should meet tomorrow
Next week
Thank you
We literally have stark difference when we have coffee
Absolutely opposite
Dip it in your coffee
Should I stir it?
It's like that rock salt thing, you know?
Just walked into a random shop
It's so pretty
Today we're just going to be exploring this area around Carlton, Fitzroy
It kind of feels like Newtown in Sydney
Very artsy, hipster
Art galleries everywhere
Newport in New York
You should get it
It's a Shocknator soundtrack
Get it
That's so funny
I get the jazzy New York and you get Shocknator
To Sydney, guys
Time to check out this funky glasses shop
We saw that statue and we have to come in
Do they accentuate my eyes?
You don't even need to do your eyebrows anymore, look
Let's just get that then
I really, really, really, really want that
Wow, wow, wow
Coconut fruit
I'm so excited to try
Oh my god
How is it?
You should try it
I don't know why more places don't do this
It's really good
Cool, right?
I'm 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 working construction
We haven't seen yellow taxis
I haven't seen yellow leaves either
Lots of yellow
Dogs wearing clothes
Greyhounds, just so many greyhounds
Oh 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
They didn't say latte
They just said latte
What the heck is going on?
Hello
We just came to pee
And we got teleported
Oh my god, they're wearing the gladiator sandals
They're just like AYY
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
It ain't just like normal
It's like the best triceratops you'll ever see
Devastated
Woah, look
It's entire bridal procession
Do you see the rainbow?
Look, look, look
Just watching the fourth or fifth bridal procession behind us
Where's the bride and groom?
There we go
They're so cute
And if 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
Even now it looks 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
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 8 kilometers or something?
Yeah, we walked 8 kilometers
Now heading out for dinner
And going to Seven Star Pocha
And meeting Pam and Rachel
Who are from the bubble tea club
You know, just local things
We have some friends
Welcome to Melbourne
Hi
Hello
Stay calm Rachel
Thank you
Cheers
There's so much happening
Yes
