My Favorite City

---

Melbourne is my favourite city in the world. I would move here in a heartbeat except it is too far away from my family and I have no idea what I would do for a job since I still don't have an ATM card for a never-empty bank account.
First, Melbourne is a large city with many distinct and interesting neighborhoods. It has a wonderful tram system and beautiful old (for Australia) buildings. There are a ton of parks... I think the bus driver told me there were more than 100 but I don't know if that's true. One of the parks is the Royal Botantical Gardens, which is lovely and makes you forget you are in a city except when you look up at the skyline. There are more restaurant, bars, and coffee shops than I could visit in a lifetime although I would definitely give it a go. I can't believe I made it out of the city without buying at least one pair of shoes (it is boot season over here) because the choices were amazing. The whole city has a charm in character I haven't felt in other cities. The one thing I would have to check out before I moved here would be the summer time temps. If it gets as hot as Sydney, the whole thing's off.

Check out the feet on this bird. They have the strangest birds (among other things) in Australia

Average high for January is 79f. But is there pub trivia?
