Well, I went to Melbourne for the first time in over 10-15 years, a few weeks back.
Besides seeing Bobby walk past me around 5-6pm
I must say that Melbourne has turned out for the worse.
Over-populated, especially with taxi and traffic!
It's no longer 'spot the white person', more like trying to 'spot the Greek' amongst all that foreign new immigrant influx. Blacks, Yellows, Browns and Greens are everywhere.
Hardly anyone around wearing AFL fashion (obviously a minority of just 100,000 die hard fans).
Skyscraping buildings everywhere now and the Yarra crossed by many walkway bridges. Everything seems 'closed in' and oppressive, like a desperate bid to shove as much into a shoebox as one can.
Again, it's no different to Sydney.
It's another city that has become a lost cause.
Sydney is full of Yellow people by majority
Melbourne thinks its part of Asia for starters
with its obsession with Sport.
(after a while, the average conversation of 'sport' in Melbourne becomes very boring and one wonders if Melbournians even know where Australia is?
)
If you like Sydney or Melbourne, then you probably like existing like a Gay or a Redneck, either way - they're both the same (s***, different smell).
