Travel in Australia: Brisbane (3)
After walking around, I returned to the entrance and saw a bridge for pedestrians and bikes—Kangaroo Point Bridge. Somehow, the view from the bridge reminded me of Zhujiang River. I guess some rivers do look similar on rainy days. I was about to walk further along the bridge, but I felt hungry since I tend to skip breakfast when I'm traveling so I can eat more at lunch. On my way to City Botanic Gardens, I've seen a pavement sign that said 'Express Lunch' with prices starting at $19.50. I hesitated between this restaurant and the café near Brisbane River, but my intuition told me the restaurant would be better. Luckily, it was. I had Wagyu beef, ancient grains and spinach salad, and salsa verde. The food was delicious, and it turned out to be the most memorable single meal of the whole trip. I also learned something from this meal, such as waiting at the entrance for the staff is considered good manners in some countries. In China, eating out is quite casual, and some people act like they're at home. My father gave me some 50-dollar notes, so I tried to pay with cash as much as possible. At the restaurant, I didn't quite catch what the staff said—I only heard the word 'correct'. I guessed they didn't have change, so I needed to pay the exact amount of $24.50. Luckily, I had a 20 and a 5 from buying a SIM card at the airport. I seldom use cash in my daily life, and some restaurants in Malaysia don't accept cash, so I suddenly felt a little confused about using cash in a foreign country. Over the next few days, I kept asking 'Can I pay by cash', and the answer from a girl at the museum was 'Of course'. I guess my question must have sounded quite funny to the locals.
It was pouring with rain that afternoon. Even though I took my umbrella, my hair, bag, and trousers got slightly wet. Shortly after we set off, my father found it a bit funny that I had an umbrella in my bag. Ha! Who was the wise one now! Anyone who enjoys walking around should take an umbrella—whether it's sunny or rainy, it's always useful! I spent the whole afternoon sleeping after such a long trip. Then we had Chinese food together and bought some souvenirs at Queen Street Mall. The shops closed at 7 pm, which sounds a bit unbelievable, but it's actually quite nice for people who work.

This is grammatically correct but long. We call these "run on" sentences. It would be a good idea to break this up like this: "I was about to.. but I felt hungry. I tend to skip breakfast when I'm traveling so I can eat more at lunch."

"I've seen" doesn't quite fit here. However, "I'd seen" would work provided you are describing something you had seen on a previous trip.

Can't quite explain this one, unfortunately. Something to do with English adjective priority.
