Mexican Fiesta

Sam and I are well and truly Melbournians (Mexicans) now. We have been here about 2 months, and we have Victorian licenses and a Victorian car. I have actually considered purchasing moccasins - pretty sure that means the transformation is almost complete.

We have done a bit of exploring, but not quite enough for my tastes. We have a little herb garden now. We have a favourite Thai takeaway already. We have seen some live music, been to a few pubs, made some new friends and discovered where to buy Bulgogi, polish sausages and macadamia nuts. I think we are settling in to our lives down here pretty well. But we are becoming a bit house-bound, something that I plan on fixing in the future.

STUFF I WANT TO DO:
  • Become a regular at the Astor (http://www.astor-theatre.com/)
  • Go to an AFL match (with someone who can explain what is happening)
  • Go to Chapel St
  • Find a Japanese learning school and enrol
  • cook cupcakes for new work friends
  • go for a swim in the bay
  • ride a bike along the Yarra
  • Drive the Great Ocean Road
  • Take Dad to the Squires Brewhouse
  • See some dodgy dinner theatre
  • Go to a taping of any show (Channel 10 studios down here, or Spicks N Specks)
That'll do for now. Hopefully the next time I'm thinking of a list, it'll be less touristy.

Go for a swim in the bay? ARE YOU CRAZY?

Awwww. You darn Melbournians with your things to do. Whatever, at least the beer's cheap here. :P

Totally need to take Dad to the Brewhouse down there, not sure you'll ever get him out though. Should have plenty of opportunities to do so, however, as he'll be retired in less than two weeks (HOLY CRAP OMG).
