Trading love for acoustics...
by sjohann
The best Melbourne describes me is MUSIC and ARTS, as im an art-person myself. Theres a lot of Art-Shows
and Open Galleries around town. Very interesting aspects from student to real time artists.
Besides arts, comes music.
Melbourne is always one of the stops for musical tours, as for world famous bands.
Its the best choice and also the nearest spot if you're living in Asia.
Very good musical and arts performing city. As for my rushy Melbourne trip,... is all because of the Icelandic band Sigur Ros.
Performed at the Palais Theatre, St. Kilda.
Thats what i call an experience of the unusuals.
I was really shivering in the chill plus having a non-stop pounding heart,...
so excited to watch my favourite band in front of my eyes.
Tears are all over my face as they crafted the songs
with all your memories dancing all around you.
Its unexplainable to sit there at the Dress Circle.... Now thats love.
If you have chance to be aroun...

If you have chance to be aroun d Box Hill or in the Vietnamese area of Melbourne,
I especially enjoy eating the Vietnamse bread.
My friend bought it from Box Hill from a baker, which is Vietnamese -
It is French loaf, filled with lettuce, and pickled vegetables of shreeded carrots, chillies etc, and has some pate in it, and and lots of sliced ham. Great for picnic, or long drive out, or like my friends take it to watch footies!!!
Stick more bills
by l_joo
Stick more bills is probably an international culture, I am very sure this culture is currently in heat especially promoting and advertising, notices, etc. We have, you have, they have and everybody have it in their own country, so I guess it was already a culture very much welcome or maybe hated worldwide, everywhere we travelled we saw it, please give your comments.
MX newspaper
by eviltooth
Pick up a free copy of MX newspaper in designated 'boxes' in the city and train stations (only those in the city). Lots of interesting stuff to read.
Don't have a pic of MX. That's our spoilt chihuahua Pi who loves taking pics. She gets very excited whenever we take the camera out.
Bike, Hike, or Rollerblade St. Kilda Beach
by ATXtraveler
Almost year round, you can enjoy St. Kilda Beach is a great place to take a walk or ride a bike. This beach sees over 70,000 visitors a year, but even in the wintertime there are plenty of people hiking, biking, and rollerblading!
They have separated the bike trails from the walking trails, so you do not even have to keep one eye peeled!
After that, you can head onto the pier and enjoy a walk for some spectacular views of the city! Walking shoes, bike, or blades!
