Exploring Glenferrie Road

It is 10 mins by train to Glenferrie from the city. Once you exit the station you'll see a huge plethora of cheap eats and Japanese food.

Here a lot students study at Swinburne, hence there are always a lot of people around that area.


They also have a great selection of cafes which are friendly on the student budget.

With all the traffic on the road it feels like India and Indonesia. Here there are always traffic jams.







A few stores that will remind you of Indonesia is Nelayan Bakery, Indomart and Laguna supermarket.

I know Meld has written up about these before but we'd also thought that we would write them here.







Nelayan
You might remember that there is one in the city. But there is also one here. This store is bigger and much cleaner. We will visit at some stage

Laguna
There are two stores, one in the city and the other on Glenferrie road. Laguna is an Indonesian supermarket selling all of your Asian eats.








Another store across the road is Indo Mart. It has all the same stuff as the other store but except it sells ready made food.









Here I bought a regular iced tea with topping for $4. How cheap are they considering that in the city you'd pay $5 for one of these



Students do come by when you have free time and not a lot of cash. This suburb is only in zone 1 and if you have a monthly you won't need to pay any extra than your usual daily fare of $4.
