My Melbourne

I am blessed to call Melbourne home. You cannot choose your birthplace but you can choose where you want to live. I choose Melbourne and it chose me. It adopted me and loved me as its own. :-)

My younger siblings came to spend Christmas with us. King is a lawyer and Ding is an Educator. They love it here too. But then again, what's not to love? :-)

Melbourne does not actually offer much to visitors in the way of sights. It is a city of day's out: days spent cycling, walking, eating, shopping or just simply hanging out - the kind of place where you go home saying: "Remember that rainy picnic? Remember how the crimson rosellas flock our table and help themselves with our food and just perch on our heads? That was really a great day."

Melbourne is just like that. And I love her.
