We were told back in Singapore that the temperature in Perth was about 18 to 23 degrees Celcius. When I came out of the airport, what greeted me was the coldness of the air. A check revealed that the day temperature was 10 degree celcius! Everybody was shivering to their spine with teeth chattering non-stop. I was worried as I did not bring thick clothing. To keep myself warm, I wore 3 layers of clothes - T-shirt, Jacket and A Wind-Breaker!

We boarded the coach and it took us to Fremantle. At the site, we toured the Monumental Hill where we took pictures of the ancient monuments. Next, we went to the Fishing Boat Harbour where boats of many sizes were seen berthing at the harbour. There were also many seagulls seen flying around the harbour looking for leftover food. After we toured the Fishing Boat Harbour, we went to the Fremantle weekend market.

The teachers asked us to get into groups of 4. My buddy and I went with the two girls from our group. Together, we explored the Fremantle market and visited some shops to buy some souveniers for our friends who missed the chance to go. I bought this keychain, a magnet, a bookmark, badges and more. When it was time, we went to the Chocolate Factory. Hooray!

Actually i expected the chocolate factory to be very big, but it turned out to be quite small. I did not buy any chocolates as i thought it might melt. Although it was expensive, but it was affordable. There was also this chocolate where the basket is also made out of chocolate and it was so mouth watering. But too bad i didn't buy it.

Soon, it was taka time(taka time means lunch time).We went to Sweet Lips for fish and chips to have our first meal in Perth! I sat with my friends from the chinese dance group and we had a fun time laughing. Hahaha! When the food came, there were 2 big fish with a lot of fries on the plate. I thought that I could not finish it and i was right. By the time I ate 1 and a half of the fish, I couldn't eat anymore. I forced myself to eat it finish but still couldn't. So i ate the fries.

After having a very full lunch, we boarded the bus to orchard glory farm. It was a 2 hours drive to orchard glory farm, on the way there many of us slept. When we reached the orchard, we toured around it. There were many trees. But most of them were orange trees. They showed us how raisins are dried and they brought us to this "stall" where there sell apricots, raisins and more. I wanted to buy them but i was saving money for the rest of the trip.

We proceeded to the farm to check in andrest. My cabin number was 10. I was staying there with 5 other people. The teacher showed us around the cabin and told us to meet outside the office in 1 and half hours time. Then our leader said that we should have a plan where we could save time and covenient those who has long hair. We unpacked our things and got organized while waiting for the time to pass.

When it was time, we waited for the teachers outside the office. When they arrived, we started our dinner. The dnner was very nice, we had spaghetti and salad. For dessert, we had ice cream and peach. After dinner we went back to the cabin to do our activity book and went to sleep. That was the end of the day of day 1.
