Local Travel Tip

Here are my top ten craziest places to vacation:

10)   Casper, Wyoming- Because it is a friendly ghost town.

9)   Lofoten, Islands, Norway- Ummm….ice?  I am getting cold just thinking about it.

8)    Kabul, Afghanistan- Because it’s one of the oldest war torn capitals in central asia…

7) Brunei- Because according to Wikipedia, there are officially no locations in Brunei that have “city” status.

6)   Katmandu, Nepal- Because just being at the bottom of Everest is crazy!

5)   Timbuktu, Mali- Because your mother always said you would go there…

4)   Barisal, Bangladesh- Because have you ever known anyone who has vacationed in Bangladesh?

3)   Tasmania, Australia- Because it is the 26^th largest island in the world, what more reason do you need?

2)   Tijuana, Mexico- Because Mexican vanilla is tempting, but is it worth the trip?

1)   Hell, Michigan- Simply for this conversation…

“Where are you going on vacation?”

“I am going to hell.”

G’Day Mates! Today we are going to travel to a new area of the world- Melbourne, Australia.

Melbourne is the second-largest city in Australia. The city is built on a coastal plain at the top of the giant horseshoe shaped waterport called, Port Phillip Bay. Melbourne is perhaps Australia’s most cultured and politically conservative city, it offers hip restaurants, an array of cultural events, great shopping, and an exciting night life. In the surrounding areas just outside Melbourne you will find dramatic coastal vistas, ski slopes, outback wilderness, vineyards, rugged mountain peaks and enthralling wildlife- like the famed Australian kangaroo.

I would recommend going to Chinatown, little Greece, and Lygon street. Chinatown has various Chinese shops and restaurants and little Greece is a street with Greek influences as well. Lygon Street has evolved into a mixture of Thai, Afghan, Malay, Caribbean and Greek. These different locations all represent the multiculturalism that Australia has been a part of the last few years.
