my favourite places in the City of Melbourne

Suddenly it hit me- i am missing the captivating City of Melbourne terribly. Since its geographically located Down Under, its now Winter in there, when most countries have to bear their Summers. I miss my independent, quiet and happy life back Down Under. I miss the favourite places where i had been- alone or with friends or somewhat almost special ones. I miss the people i connected with, my uni mates, my political science students society friends, my university choral society and my gospel choir. I miss my closest friends in uni and church, our mentors, the locals and migrants that i met and even the kind strangers who readily give their smiles the moment you meet their eyes. I reckon the people of Melbourne, are among the friendliest people, in addition to its already lovely places, no wonder why it is called the " world's most liveable city."

Thank goodness, i was able to take lots of photos that i still have to organise. Pictures say a thousand words as one song says so i wont write much about it anymore and just share my favourite spots while staying in Melbourne. If asked to describe it in one word, i would say- fantastic!

And somehow i wish that i would be there again- soon.
