back from melbourne now. enjoyed it a great deal. even the weather was on our side it seemed, it only started going weird on our last day, raining one minute and hot as the next.

i have seriously considered moving there, the arts and design are much more prominent there, so is fashion and everything else. the night life is busier too.

i think toronto, montreal, sydney and bali are next on my list of places to visit.
