Screw Sydney, Melbourne’s The Spot

I can honestly say that I’ve spent the summer season hanging out with far more Australians than any other nationality, American integrated, and I’ve learned a few issues by doing so.

Number One particular: Australian beer is undesirable, with micro-brews and specialty beers nearly non-existent.

Number Two: Australians enjoy traveling to the U.S. because it’s one particular of the few locations in the globe exactly where there aren’t hordes of other Australians (as opposed to England, Europe, and most of Southeast Asia).

Number Three: Sydney’s the city where travelers pay a visit to Melbourne’s the city exactly where travelers fall in like with the country.

And as this WSJ article explores, Melbourne’s nightlife varies somewhere in in between offbeat and inviting, with its kitschy Cultural Revolution-themed bars, speakeasy-style supper clubs, and gin joints devoted to obscure filmmakers. Yeah, this sound fun, forget stuffy opera houses.
