I Made it to Melbourne

[yellowandback]

ah history learn from it or be doomed to repeat the mistakes of those who went before us.

the lessons are there, they repeat over and over and over but theres always those idealists who think mankind will change.

greedy, despotic, power hungry, zealousy  and many  other things like these describe man thru the ages.   no matter what has gone before they remain a constant. only the way they express themselves change.

history teaches us some things are irreconsilable and no matter how much some dont want it to be that way  it is the way it is.

Footy is great for Melbourne, but apart from that the place is a poo hole.

Really, last I heard it was voted worlds most livable city for a second year in a row

I think Melbourne is a fantastic city. I was born in Melbourne and lived there for 16 years and if I could uproot the family and land a decent Job I'd be there in a heartbeat. Give me Melbourne over Sydney any day. But I guess it all depends on where you live in Melbourne. I grew up in Caulfield and spent most of my time between there and Brighton so it was a pretty nice area to live in. I would give my eye teeth to again see the Tigers play regularly at the G. Last time I did that I was sitting on timber seats in the Southern stand, eating a Four n' twenty doused in white Crow.

Best city in the world is Melbourne

Been to a lot of cities around the world and no doubt there are many great ones

But my hometown is still the best

Paris was fantastic, and Florence is one of the few cities in the world I could happily live in.

 

But I would miss the Football.

I was born smack in the centre of Melbourne (old Queen Vic hospital) and lived there for all but 5 of my childhood years but moved to country Vic when I was 18 and then interstate when 31.  After living in many other cities I couldn't go back to Melbourne now - I only enjoy going back for the footy, although I agree with Tiga that it's a much better city to live in than Sydney.  Biggest plus for Melbourne apart from the footy = trams.

Hated Paris but loved southern France; Lyon in particular

One of my favourites is Berlin, magnificant place, culturally diverse like Melb

Lyon and Berlin are both on the must visit list.

Trouble is the list is bloody long.

Darwin at present '65 but we've been fairly nomadic in recent times so who knows for the future.  I love it here and could stay a while but I don't make any of the decisions in my house!

I have lived in Perth for the past 25 years....but love Melbourne .

Every time I return to WA after visiting Melbourne it feels like I am returning to redneck wonderland.

Only downside to Melbourne is your terrifying hook turns which I still don't understand no matter how many times it is explained to me.

We do have wonderful beaches over here though ......only have to look out for those pesty Great white sharks.
