About Footscray
|
| Footscray
is a suburb of Melbourne. It is the nearest city in Victoria. When you talk
about Footscray, you have to talk about Vietnamese at the same time.
All the shops in Footscray will have Vietnamese on their signals. There
is something different, you feel it the moment you walk in. You realise
that a Vietnamese cafe is more than just a place to go and buy a meal, it
is a cultural club, a meeting place, the Vietnamese equivalent of the old
style bar in the local pub. |

| Even you
can't speak any English as long as you can speak Vietnamese, you can get
your shopping done, bill paid and problems solved. There is very convenient
public transport to get you to Footscray. Footscray train station is right
in the centre of Footscray business area. Also on the main St, there are
different routes of buses and trams coming or going to different direction. |
