So, I know you are happily married.
So am I. No deviations. Faithful to a tee.
Any truth to Aussie women warming up to American men?
Fun looking cuisine.
You can pm me on the other.
Simple would be sufficient.

Ha, I’m not sure on that one. Been out of the game too long. Lots of grungy looking young guys running around. I’m not sure what the style is but it’s far from the Costco uniform middle aged dad vibes I let off.

I did run into a cool bar with beer and live music last night. Struck up a conversation with a group of mid-20 year old guys. I bummed a couple smokes (I don’t smoke, but enjoy one every once in a long while) and they had a bunch of questions about the US and Trump. Pretty good evening.

Cool pub with great beer and food:
My coworker from Vietnam took me out to his favorite lunch spot yesterday. He’s had me laughing my ass off all week, his sense of humor and Asian jokes are ridiculous.

If you could find time, the Aura Theater outside of Ballarat was a very cool experience. Bit of a drive from Melbourne but gives a nice historical theater of Australia history including Eureka Rebellion, aborigines, gold etc.

Aura Sound and Light Show | Ballarat Gold Rush

AURA is an immersive 90-minute theatre experience using 3D technology that explores the creation, discovery and impact of gold then and now.

I traveled to Ballarat a lot years ago on business and was really impressed with this theater presentation. Its unique such includes open air as well as inside venues.

Grampian National Park is bit further but was incredible park to visit. The hiking was fantastic, views unbelievable and roos royal PITA.

It looks worth going if just for the food.

Rainy Sunday. Decided to take a jog down to the Royal Botanic gardens and check out the WW1 memorial. Pretty cool:

FaceTime with the family, little one’s change fast.

Have you been out to the MCG? Your timing probably wont work for a game - AFL and cricket is on in March. And even an NFL game (Rams vs 49'ers) later in the year.

Yeah I looked into that. There was some soccer games but AFL hasn’t started yet. I’m in Richmond now. Grabbed a gyro that was off the charts. I’m going to grab a beer and hopefully walk around and see the stadium before I catch a train back.

The_black_sheep_stall on IG. Owner came and chatted with me for a bit. Frenchman that migrated to AUS. Asked me where I was from, I said America. His response, and I quote….”politics here, shit, we need more Trump.”

I’ll keep posting food, probably what I’m most excited about. Haven’t really spent more than a day or two at a time in a big city so I’m really enjoying the variety and quality of all the food and coffee.

At some point I’ll try a meat pie as that’s a staple here. BA mi sandwiches are aslo common here. It did not disappointed, especially for 8USD.
