Morning of the Australian Football League Grand Final. Last night was our first and very successful outing in Melbourne. The crowds and dance reminded me very much of time spent in England — women dressed to impress, guys snazzy in their own right — all stumbling by 11:30. Jolly good fun lads! We went out with Marion to the Richmond Club Hotel which is a historic, large venue with scattered floors and rooftops capable of delivering every stage of a proper night out in one beautiful building. After a pint there we strolled along to a nightclub where we danced to classic rap and hip hop from the likes of, among others, my hometown legend Nelly. Infrastructure is clean, the city doesn’t feel crowded, and I can really imagine spending the next six months here. Good times ahead! Anthony
