BYO

Thought I would put up a quick post for the day. I spent the entire day walking around Melbourne CBD taking pictures of almost everything. Its got an amazing skyline with the Yarra river running right through the middle. Almost like a mini London...but a lot greener. The weather has been pretty amazing too. It is the middle of winter and it reached a sunny 18 degrees. No tan though.

In the afternoon I met my first cousin once removed, I think?! She is my Dad's cousin, anyway. So she took me for a slap up curry to make me feel more at home. They definitely know how to dine out here! They have something called "BYO" at almost all restaurants, which as you have probably guessed means you just bring your own alcohol and save a sh*t load on the bill. Not only that but that have something called Bottle Shops which are Off Licences. BUT they are drive-thru. You drive into what looks like a Car wash entrance, but when you get into it there are fridges up to the ceiling all around you filled with every beer you can think of. Then you don't even get out of your car, you just un-wind the window and someone serves you! I couldn't believe my eyes!

AND to top it all off...when you get to the restaurant the first thing they say to you is what "complimentary drink would you like?" So a free drink at every meal! We ordered champagne so they ain't fussy.

Shapla...if you're not reading this already, things need to change.
