  May mga shops sa sydney pero personal experience ko mas maraming shops sa melbourne. May dfo sa southwharf, shopping centres in bourke, elizabeth, etc. pati sa mga suburbs. Magaganda kasi suburb sa melbourne like south yarra, st kilda, toorak, and malls like chadstone, highpoint, etc. di ko masyado na explore sydney pero marami sa melbourne. Mostly online nman ako bumibili
