Day 184 to 192 - First week in Melbourne

Over a week ago now I flew into Melbourne and moved into St Kilda. I am living with a gorgeous English lass (Andrea) that I met through Oz Intro, and 5 other fabulous chicks :D

One of the quirks of Melbourne city
Our house is right by the beach and the sun has been beating down all week so naturally I have been to the beach nearly every day :) . I've also taken a trip into the city for some exploration, and to meet a friend. Melbourne city is beautiful, very arty, very cultural, and there are lots of cute markets and odd shows going on. I made it here during Comedy Week so I spent a couple of hours just watching some hilarious (and free) comedy acts from all over the world. In the evening my friend and I hit up China town for dinner and who know I could successfully teach someone to use chopsticks. That's something for the CV, ha ha. This was followed by drinks in a bar suspended from a bridge across the river. Clear skies, outdoor heaters, views of the city lights... stunning.

The view from the bar...

 All the frolicking with my new friends has also been amazing. We've explored St Kilda night life, danced like crazy people around the house (for no reason other than we felt like it), crashed a house party, found a 24hour night club, been for spontaneous girly cinema trips (followed by ice cream), and just generally hung out. Even if I don't find a job here I can't see myself getting bored anytime soon.

Coffee by the beach - approx 2 min walk from our house :)
