Dickson is a place relatively near my hall and is a nice quaint area with interesting cafes and shops. I go there quite often, mainly to get groceries from the aussie version of NTUC called woolworths. They have an aussie version of cold storage in town (also near my hall) but i prefer NTUC (woolworths).


Actually, Dickson is also considered the Chinatown of Canberra as it has a few chinese groceries stores and restaurants. I ate 14 dollar, tasteless laksa from one of the restaurants here.

I like dickson as i feel that the area is very quaint. You can find small cafes/bakeries sprouting at different corners. There's this place called cheesecake shop selling sinful looking cakes. I like to shop in this shop called harris scarfe as it often has huge discounts etc. I bought my pan there at 60% off. So i check it out sometimes. Oh, i like dickson as it reminds me of Ang Mo Kio central. Check out the pictures below. Resemble AMK central, or clementi central or some central in singapore hor?

The last picture is random. I saw some parrots on my way back. There are so many of these parrots around.

Just showing a glimpse of my australian hang out place. Not as cool as queenstown, but not too bad already.
