Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a match of the finals with the Geelong Cats against the St. Kilda Saints. Geelong entered the final with a near-perfect (lost one game all season) smashed the Saints who were ranked fourth. I expected at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground, or better known as the 'G') to be packed, but there are still some places available. This May had something to do with the fact that it was Fathers Day in Australia that day.

Although I what some have done in the game, I do not think I'll mind the season is over. The first time I moved into my apartment, it was on all weekend. The games range from Friday evening to Sunday evening, though there were plenty to choose from. And living with footy fanatics fact it seems it is always on. Since the roommate shuffle 'which took place a month or two ago things have softened in the match arena, but it is always in mind someone seems.

But speaking on roommate shuffle, it is again time to find a fourth roommate! It's funny because since I moved all my roommates have moved and I shall be the person who lived there the longest. But this is worse than all others. The roommate was moving in the best roommate because he was never there! There remain all but one or two nights a month at his girlfriends apartment, which means that we have had someone to pay the rent, but does not use the kitchen etc. Also, it was the person I was supposed share the bathroom with, as it has never been there, I had the bathroom to myself! So my life "luxury" is now more in this regard. So we will be advertising and screening for people coming weeks ....

While waiting, a fast update on our recent adventures on the trail of tourists. We were very cultural, visiting the collection of Guggenheim, a provisional exposure to the national gallery of Victoria and also an exposure of portrait of celebrity to the library of state of this weekend of Victoria.Anyway were not any exception as you can see photographs which it was luminous and sunny. Saturday, I am descended to the districts from the docks. My guide of excursion had an excursion of walk around this new section involute of Melbourne. This is supposed being based on the wearing of Sydney when it is done everything. In this moment its being built most of the time always. They build a new wheel of Farris which will be largest Farris roll the southernmost hemisphere inside. Just slightly smaller than the eye of London. Other that that they is most of the time the high residences of luxury built around a group of docks where a rich park their yachts. The weather was nice however and very friendly image. It was basically my weekend. I found a church really large, which meets Tuesday nights in various publications or coffees. They are very similar to the mosaic (my church in Nashville) and go although some principal decisions about where to move, develop, and establish a direction. They invited me to divide how we make the church in the states, and it showed really fresh the same questions us that both intervene. It is enthralling to see God working.

We had received news certain that we had met on the thing of Whitsunday which the street Kilda was a great place thus we decided to give him an outward journey. The street Kilda was a really rich area of Melbourne but with the great recession the sector became a retirement for the inhabitants seedier of Melbourne. The nowerdays of sector is more Bohimian and hippy in the aspect this is reflected in the apearance sector and people of the country. One of the other things which I liked about the sector is the social mixture of the people in the sector which goes completely the social balance. Of without hearth to the class aristocratic, members of club of owners of bentley and absolutely each one in the interval. Musician, artists, gangsters, druggies, working class, professionals. Each one! There representives of all religions and people of everywhere in the world here as well. Truely a place of comopoliton. And each one obtaining just along the fine right.

I liked the street Kilda because she pointed out some of the places to me that I know behind at the house for example; Chorlton, Levenshulme, town of Camden. The street of vault with Melbourne is another sector which continues in the same topic under ground of expenses. I could just of spent a couple of the days exploring the streets of this sector. All stores selling antiquities, the brac of bric-a, the second C.Ds hand and the books could have maintained to me occupied for ages. I mentioned only 2 sectors with Melbourne up to now but when I obtained about the city on the tram (principal manner to come to end the city) I could see a good number of places like the street Kilda and the street of vault.
