Interesting Things I learnt About Melbourne, From Melbourners and Observation

August 29, 2008

I figured that I’d be pretty nosey when it came to the state that boasts-the-most-roast and asked a bunch of people about the what life is like over the border. This is all in order of happening:

Friendly Passanger

Some Staff at the Melbourne Airport can be extremely rude

Airport Staff

The Melbourne Airport is about 20-25km from the CBD

Items bought before the Terminal 2 identity checks don’t get given to you until you reach the otherside (lounge)

Ben – Guy who sat next to me

Victorian’s don’t all drink VB, they prefer anything as long as it tastes good

They don’t really look down on South Australian’s, they just believe that their city is better

They are aware of the problems in Melbourne like gangs and underground culture

They like South Australian wine

Observations

There are plenty of Asian people in Melbourne

The airport looks dated and unfashionable, it is also hard to navigate

The airport may be busy but it seems inefficient, the layout can also be unwieldly at times

Only two or three sky scrapers stand out over Melbourne

The city is also quite close to the water
