Gold Class
I enjoy eating and watching films and in Australia we have Gold Class which is the first class of cinema entertainment. You can sit in a luxury reclining seat and have food delivered to you throughout the film. It is a great experience providing nobody sits next to you which thankfully has only happened once. I find booking last minute and selecting the middle seat increases your chances of having an empty seat next to you.
Sabroso Tapas
I went for an amazing tapas meal on Saturday night in Seddon at a place called Sabroso. I had three starters, one main and finished off with churro (Spanish doughnuts) and a chocolate dipping sauce. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful in explaining what the dishes were even though I had my trusty friend Google with me.
Easter
I started work this week after a long break and it went well. I am still staying at my friends house in Seddon so hopefully once I get my own place my commute to work will be shorter. I had a few teething problems, missing the train, getting on the wrong tram, trying to find somewhere to get lunch but hopefully that will all sort it self out very soon.
MVFC
I went to my first Melbourne Victory game against Perth Glory last night at AAMI Park which is a thirty thousand capacity stadium built for the football. We used to play at the Etihad Stadium which has a capacity of fifty three thousand seats but it was always empty so lacked any atmosphere. The seats are close to the pitch and reminded me of going to QPR where you can practically touch the players.
iPhone Temperature
The past week in Melbourne has been very hot with temperatures rising above 30 degree Celsius and hitting 36/37 this week. I went to a job interview on Friday and I had to get my friend to drop me off at the door in her air conditioned car but when I left within 5 minutes I was dripping.
Pool Boy
I have moved out of the hotel I was staying whilst I recovered from my flight from England and I have now set up temporary residence at my friends house in Seddon. I had to get a trolley to help me move all my bags out of the hotel and I was grateful I never took the option to bring a third suitcase to Australia.
Back in Melbourne
I have landed back in Australia after a pleasant journey with Qantas. I have never flown with Qantas before and apart from the food on the plane it was very nice. It was on one of the new planes so it was disappointing to see that they had put such small tv screens in compared to Emirates. Emirates are well known for having the best in-flight entertainment in the industry so they have set the bar high.
Anniversary
Today is my one year anniversary from coming back from Australia and the sun has come out in Manchester to help me celebrate. If you wrap up warm and shelter from the cold wind then you can kid yourself that it is actually warm here.
Leaving Melbourne
My bags are all packed and are being loaded onto the airplane. I am sat in the Cathay Pacific lounge having a coffee and waiting to leave Melbourne for Hong Kong. All three bags went without an extra charge so that was a bonus.
