I liked Melbourne so much that 6 months after my first adventure there, I was back again. This time, I had more time on my hands to really explore the city and get a feel for things. Photography was not a major concern of mine during my first trip, and I made sure to capture the scenes that I regretted not capturing then.
Although the focus is primarily on the CBD, there are also photos from Southbank, Docklands, Prahran, Carlton, Fitzroy, St Kilda, Richmond and Hawthorn.
Melbourne’s reputation as a “food” city has grown enormously over the past decade. After travelling and seeing what other cities around the world have to offer, I can confirm that this reuptation is well deserved. Any cuisine you want from any culture in the world can be found in Melbourne. The quality of the food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. Along with the well developed small bar culture, and vibrant cultural and sporting scene, Melbourne truly is deserving of it’s reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities.
Hong Kong is probably my favourite city to visit in the world. The mix of excitement, skyscrapers, street activity, food and shopping is amazing. The city has a vibe and energy like no other and it truly is the quintessential example of east meets west, with British and Chinese influences merging and clashing throughout the city’s buildings, streets and people. The Hong Kong government likes to call Hong Kong “Asia’s World City”, and I would tend to agree with them.
