Melbourne-town

I spent my 28th annual day of birth down in Melbourne this year.  It was great.  Except for the hotel pillow which was a piece of sht.  I hate hotel pillows.  I would bring my own pillow everywhere with me if I could.  And no I'm not rich enough to stay in a hotel that has a pillow menu haha, although I'm sure that would solve a lot of my problems.

We had breakfast at Operator25 BOTH mornings because the coffee was just amazing.  So I had 2 bowls of it.  And then I ate some food.  That was also amazing.

We visited the National Gallery of Victoria which had a great exhibition called Melbourne Now.

Ok please hold your judgement, but the first time I ate laksa was 2 years ago in Melbourne.  We happened across this random Laksa Bar and every time I visit Melbourne I have to make a trip to Laksa Bar.  I'm told it's not authentic laksa but rather a bastardised Westernised version.  Maybe that's why I like it!

Aaand of course, no trip to Melbourne is complete without a morning at DFO.  Sometimes I walk struggle out of there with too many bags but this time I actually didn't buy much.  The stock is so much better than the DFO in Sydney although they've done Sydney DFO up lately and I'm yet to visit.

I did, however visit the Uniqlo popup store.  I fell in love with Uniqlo a few years ago in NYC and just had to pay a visit.  Obviously I was expecting exhorbitant pricing but I was pleasantly surprised.

I picked up 2 ultra fine merino wool jumpers for $39.90 each.  More on that in another post.

Aaaand that's it.  Thanks for having me Melbourne!!
