DFO, Olympic Park

Hi there!

The weekend was quite fun and of course, it flew by so fast! Sigh before u know it, it's time for school again haha. Anyway since on weekends, the day leaves me rather tired so here I am backdating my entries.

Well on Saturday, we went to DFO. It's called direct factory outlet. They have it in sydney and some parts of australia too like brisbane I think. It's a building on it's own and it houses many stores with brands u see in shopping centers. Just that supposedly it's cheaper and kinda direct from the factory?? I dunno.. but anyway went there and lots of sales and clothes and stuff to buy. But in the end, I only bought a bag for..... $5!!!!!! haha.. i'll put up another entry with some of my purchases haha!

Anyway I read about how to get to DFO from the brochure and it said the best way to get there was to go to Strathfield station and take a bus there. Still knowing that it is somewhere near the Olympic Park and Olympic Park is quite near our house, we still took the train and bus haha. So when it was time to go home, we decided to walk, of course we took quite long. Running home is quite near but walking isn't. ha but it was a good chance to look at the place. U see the various stadiums and centers for different sports. There are different kinds of birds around which I dunno the names of. We took some pictures but decided next time we'll take more. Took a shorter route home instead of exploring the whole site. The sun was shining so it was a cool day where u can walk around in ur t-shirt.


Some bridge we came across ha..


look at this! It's at some obscure place but when u look down from the bridge (another bridge), they spray mist to give it the impression it's like a deep valley! Quite ingenious n scary.. haha. Look at that great shot haha!

On the new train..
