The Clocks
What greeted us inside Queen Victoria Building was something unexpected. It has an old colonial design, impressively decorated with lights and coloured-glass. The interior was magnificent with ancient looking elevators (the one that you see in the Superman Return movie), and something that caught my attention was the numerous clocks this building has. I was too excited and busy taking photos that I didn't really slow down and observe the design and interior. Furthermore, we were in a rush and didn't really had the chance to visit all the boutiques. However, most of the shops are selling branded goods that I had no intention of buying.

Clock No.1
Queen Victoria.
We stopped by the second clock that we see dangling from the ceiling. To have a clearer view of the clock, we went to the top floor of Queen Victoria Building where Grace did a little introduction on the story behind this particular clock.
