Some time ago i went to trip to Canberra with a few guys from my college. Canberra is the capital city of Australia, which does not resemble a capital city whatsoever.. haha!
The tallest building there is probably 20 storeys tall... Basically the city is a planned city, started from scratch.. They plant the trees, make lakes, roads, buildings and stuff, pretty cool, and quite a nice place to be.
We went to have a look at the parliment, which is somewhat a version of Putrajaya itself.. IMHO, i prefer Putrajaya in some sense.. The parliment is located in the center of a triangle, an imaginary line drawn in the city. There are 3 landmarks that represents the ends of the triangle, one of them being the Telstra communication tower, the others i'm not very sure...
Here's a pic of the parliment..

I realised that i'm kinda draining my quota by uploading the pictures, so i'll keep this to a minimum... haha!
Later that day, we went to the War Memorial, which i think is the best place in the city to visit... there are so many exhibitions and things to see, u'll need at least 2 days to finish the trip..
We ended the trip with a visit to the Telstra tower. It was freezing cold there, and i took my favourite picture from there. The skies looked magnificent and colourful... hehe!

The trip home took us about 3 hours of ride... it was quite a nice trip, and has been a valuable experience for me..:) Now i know where is the capital.. I used to think it was Sydney.. lol!
The pictures are in links because if i posted the read pictures, it would be too big.. I'm trying to apply some html scripting to it if possible.. for now, this is what i can do.. :)
Guess i'll log out now.. :)
