Back From Melbourne

Got in from Melbourne almost 24 hours ago, and have spent the entire day recovering and trying to feel human again. Not that the weekend in Melbourne was that different from what would have gone on here in Sydney.

Things that we would have done regardless of location:

• Spent all of Friday night at a trashy bar, harassing strangers and drinking like the beer was going to run out any second
• Shopped on Saturday, where we managed to eat about 4 times before heading to dinner and a bar, because god forbid we go a day without being in a bar
• Started on the booze around 2pm on Sunday, leaving us drunk by 5pm and pole dancing by 9. I guess we've never done that in Sydney, so we should get points for that, I'm thinking
• A long boozy lunch on Monday where we were so unbelievably loud that the waiters were avoiding our table like the plague and we had to give shy, apologetic (and rather insincere) looks to the other patrons when we finally left

Still, I'm glad I finally got to visit Melbourne. I don't see how anyone would think it compares to Sydney as a place to live, but it's always nice to make an ass out of yourself in front of some new faces.
