"I wouldn't want anybody here in Sydney to hear me say this, for fear of execution, but I think Melbourne's better than Sydney. Streets ahead of it. Sydney's all flash and glamour, like the beautiful younger sister. She catches your attention first and you're beguiled, seduced in a moment. But then your attention slowly starts to wane and suddenly you notice Melbourne. The quieter, more demure sister, on the surface. Until you discover that still waters run deep and Melbourne's the one you really fall in love with"
Now, I'm not saying that this quote reflects how I feel about Melbourne vs. Sydney for fear of execution by Christine Yi or Amy Chang (the only "Sydney people" I know). But here I am posting it, because all unrealistic fears aside, I think the author summed it up perfectly =]
Maybe I'll read the whole book. The annoying thing is, I lost my student ID so I can't check out any more books from my favorite library on campus for a while. So sad, I just twiddle my thumbs all the way home on the train now.
