Well I’m bored so I figured I’d update.

Melbourne was AWESOME! I recommend everyone going there. There was plenty to do, even in the cold rainy weather, transportation was easy enough to understand (they have a wonderful tram system there), and some great wine bars. I believe I had such a wonderful time because of the company I kept; however, I still believe it is a city worth seeing if you are going to be in Australia. It is nothing like Sydney which is much more modern and to me was really trying to be like New York, but just couldn’t. Instead, Melbourne had a wonderful charming old school feel with beautiful architecture. The people in Melbourne were easily the nicest people here in Australia that I have ever met. When we were lost, all we had to do was pull out a map to look where we were going and someone would come up and offer us help. Not only are they helpful they really did know what they were talking about

One main tip:

Visit the Queen Victoria Markets – this is a huge market area with cheap prices. They sell touristy stuff as well as fresh produce. Also it is a good area to catch food with a local food court right in the area. It is beautiful there and very worthy of visitors.

Currently it is Tuesday and since all my friends are off traveling (I’m running a bit low on money to keep traveling) I am here at school alone and very bored. I have been using this time to my advantage since its been so nice and sunny; however, I have started to run out of books to read and night times can get very boring. Boo for that.

Over all I’ve just been reflecting on my time here. Hard to believe that I have less than 2 weeks left! I’m just trying to think of thing I want to do. I’ll update when I figure out what that will be. Happy travels everyone!
