A wintery evening with snow on the mountains and drizzle in the air, but six Meridians were cosy at Alma Café in Rosebank among good company with good food and great live music.
Having heard about this place from neighbours I booked this as a trial evening, and from comments received, it will not be the Read More »
7:15 Comenzamos el segundo día con ganas y nos pegamos el madrugón para no perder ni un rayo de sol. Desafortunadamente, lo que nos encontramos tras desayunar y salir a la calle es que está volviendo a llover intensamente.

After I wrote my last entry, I met up with Carl (from New York City) and we headed to the International Students reception at Falmer Bar in Falmer House. Free drinks and food were served! My kind of night. I hadn’t eaten much all day so the drinks went to my head REALLY fast. Drinking Read More »

So the question is: “Is Vancouver really like Melbourne?”
