My suggestion is go see an AFL game. Even if your not really into the game, its an awesome atmosphere to experience.

I remember lygon st had nice places to eat, southside I think? right next to the yarra, that seemed nice too.

Vaguely remember melbourne though, been a few years.

What's the greek street called lol? It's at the back of my head.

Not really sure about the night life in melb. Crown is about the only place I've been. Was pretty good, would go back again (may still have the indoor laser skirmish still). Espy is good, has some good music there some nights.

Otherwise there's plenty of things to do during the day, depending on what you like. The aquarium, zoo, shopping.

otherwise, you'd have to go to a real place... like check out Bacchus Marsh, or Ballarat... or even Geelong!! hahahahaha  :D

if u wanna go shopping at uber rediculous prices and enjoy being around "metro" guys and gals, then head to chapel st

if u go on a sat nite, then make sure u take ur doof doof music.... (altho it ain't what it used to be)

I'm guessing it's far too late to say "turn around", because melbourne is the ass?
