I *heart* Melbourne

Yesterday evening it started to cool down (except in our room, of course, where it's still about 50 degrees). You can't imagine how nice 37 degrees can feel... However, most of the day was still hellishly hot, so my plan had been to stay indoors most of the time. Then I found out that all the public transport was free (because of the heat, although I'm not really sure how that's connected), so I decided to seize the moment and take the tram down to St. Kilda, the city's nearest beach. It was kind of strange down there. Very empty, because it was just too hot for most people to be out. I also left quickly to go to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image to see the exhibition "Setting the Scene" about film design. It was excellent, really interesting, and made me see "Australia" (the movie) in a new light. Might have to watch it again (and not just because of the shower scene...). Afterwards, another movie (Milk with Sean Penn, really good one, too).

Maybe what I've written about Melbourne so far doesn't sound too exciting, but I really love this city! I can't really say why but it just feels right, and I would stay here - if it weren't for all the people I love who are far from here (yes, dear blog reader, this probably includes you)! While Melbourne seems like the perfect city for me, it's not good enough without my friends and family. So please, can you move here???

Chocolate, my dear, starts to melt at about 35°C. That's why it has such a great mouthfeel. And that's also why I can't move to Melbourne: I couldn't work there properly and who wants to eat cakes and chocolates in this heat!? So get on a plane and come back to Europe asap!
