A Few of my Favorite Things in Melbourne

One of my favorite things to do is to explore and discover new cities. So it's been a little over a week since I've gotten here now and every day I've been going into the city just to explore. Sometimes by myself. Sometimes with a couple friends. And I'm slowly, no quickly, falling in love with Melbourne. It's voted one of the most livable cities in the world and I can see why.

So here is a list of a few of my favorite things about this city:

1. Small town feel, but there's no denying that it's a big city with so much to do, see, and eattttttt :9
2. Well planned city with a nice mix of greenery/waterfronts/urban ares.
3. Greatttttt public transpo :) It's a real treat coming from the land of Septa :P
4. Little open air markets and festivals everywhere (but this may end with the summer :/)
5. Live music on every other street, buildings that look like they should be in a modern architecture magazine, and graffiti art lining the walls. It's artsy fartsy here and I'm lovin' it :)
6. Generally easy going and laid back people. "No worries" and "Fair enough"
7. Hidden laneways throughout the city that are lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops.
8. The diversity here is incredible. And I'm really appreciating it in the form of.... food! Malaysian food on one corner, then a Sri Lankan take out place down the block, tried a Turkish borek for the first time, then there's a Greek precinct with amazing dessert. droooolllll.
9. The beach is only a trams ride away. The water in the beach is not grey! Whatttttt??
10. Alright this one is a little cheesy but I gotta say it: The sunsets here are beautifullllllllll! teeheee :)

I could definitely get used to it here!
This is my town now for the next four months >:)  muhaha!
