Melbourne's public transit is really extensive, but damn is it hard for a tourist to figure out how to navigate the system.

Wandering around Fitzroy, which feels a bit like the Mission District of Melbourne.

It's really silly that @foursquare starts a new day in Australia in the middle of the afternoon.

The kangaroo I ate last night was quite good, but it was over a salad with way too much dressing. Eat kangaroo if you get a chance though.

I remain mostly unimpressed with the food here.

I think this aqarium has consciously tried to include every animal from Finding Nemo save for the sharks.

Bit of a chill in the air today. Apparently this is normal for Melbourne. Where's my summer dammit?

Watching my first Aussie Rules Football game. It's almost a controlled brawl with occasional kicking of a football.

Over a week here and I'm still having problems understanding Aussie accents. #fb

Aussie media still obsessed with the Tiger Woods story. Six pages of coverage in the morning paper.

Finding an open wifi spot here sucks.

I've been in Melbourne for only a few hours and someone has already asked me for directions.

The only American I met went to Duke and we immediately lept into ACC rivalry mode. This fully confused the Euros and Aussies.

After a few nights in short hostel beds and days in a cramped bus I'm thankful for my giant bed tonight.

Spent the last couple nights with a bunch of European backpackers who kept me up late into the night debating politics over many drinks.

Big blisters on both feet. Too much hiking plus walking barefoot a couple blocks to beaches.

Just entering the Melbourne suburbs. There has been no 3G wireless for a day.

Climbed the tallest mountain in Australia this morning. It takes about 90 minutes after the chair lift part of the way there
