This was my third trip to Melbourne, though it was my first working trip to Melbourne. I had assumed I had seen everything that Melbourne has to offer, but I was still surprised to discover new sights, especially after stumbling upon Melbourne’s laneways and arcades. I also managed to put in two runs, getting lost during my first run and ending up in South Yarra. I did my second run around the Botanic Gardens, or Tan for short.
Melbourne is also one of the few cities in the world where you can walk into any café and get good coffee, unlike the pretentious hipster cafes we have in Singapore. Daily trips to Cafenatics to get their coffee after lunch became a ritual. All in all, I was feeling a bit sad when I left.
Lately our lives have been revolving around the airport for work. I did not mind a bit when I had to travel to Melbourne.
