Melbourne - Its not thornleigh!

So Monday I went into the office for work in Sydney and ended up in Melbourne by Monday Night. I spent all week pulling some long hours at the fabrication plant learning what I'm going to be doing for the next few weeks. I am decidedly not good at getting up early. Once I got over the cold and sunrise I got acclimated to the day to day out there and am ready I think to do what they expect of me. Maybe this upcoming week Ill get home while the sun is still up.

I am living in Richmond a stones throw away from the Melbourne Cricket Ground where are the AFL in the city is played. I spent Saturday walking around the area. Its a mix of working class and hipster Bohemia that's pretty good for bars and restaurants. Speaking of bars Saturday night I hoped a bus to the next suburb up the main drag here Collingswood to go a rawk show at the Tote Hotel. The show was great but nobody talked to me. There was an older creepier dude there alone as well so I dodged that bullet. All and all I like the area better than thornleigh just because there is more going on and its within walking distance.

Sunday was a adventure in laundry. The washer in the unit is old and busted so I went seeking new hotness. After going to the store for food and coins I found a laundrette and then later went and got dinner with gavin. Next weekend I plan to do more touristy stuff in downtown melbourne so Ill have pictures then.
