some modest observations after one week

Things Melbourne Has:
-A profuse amount of 7-11s and Subways. These are as abundant as Starbucks are in the U.S.
-An awesome Chinatown. It's clean, it's cheap, and it isn't sketchy.
-Art. It is happening.
-Restaurants everywhere. The entire city smells like food.
-An amazing tram system. Much better than Boston.

Things Melbourne Lacks:
-An ozone. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Albinos like myself are sure to die.
-Black people. Where are they???
-Taxes and tips. Everything is included on menus!
-Cheap alcohol. One shot at a bar usually falls between $9-$10, and a bottle of anything can be anywhere between $65-$85.
-An agenda. I was out on a Wednesday around 11am and nobody was at work or at school, though everyone was dressed in their work clothes or uniforms as if they would make it over to their respective destinations at some point. It was awesome.
