Unexpected encounters in the train - Perth, Western Australia

-
When we were in Perth, we had two unexpected encounters in the train. First encounter happened when we took the train from Perth to Thornlie Station. An aboriginal man in his mid thirties came in and sat right opposite us. Everything looks normal until he started talking to himself. He kept on repeating the same phrase "I AM FUCKING TIRED" over and over again. Each time he repeats, it gets louder and louder. He stopped for awhile and started talking to himself again. Luckily he gets off the train after a few stations.

Second encounter happened when this australian guy came in with his aboriginal girl friend. He and his girl friend sat opposite us as well. Then out of a sudden, he started shouting "WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA" It was so loud that we got a shock of our lives! He continued with... there are kangaroos here (started jumping like a kangaroo inside the train), there are dolphins and kookaburras (echoing like a kookaburra) He cool down for a few minutes and out of the sudden he stood up and started pole dancing inside the train! His girl friend was so excited and started laughing and cheering.

After a while he walked towards the camera and started scolding and pointing his middle finger at the camera before he walked out from the train. I saw his girl friend holding a half empty liquor bottle so I guess he was a bit tipsy due to the liquor. Weird thing was most of the passengers inside the train acted normal as if nothing happened! Anyway glad that he did not come after me and gave me a warm welcome hug to Australia. :)



Train ticket from Thornlie Station to Perth cost us $3.80

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
