There are a lot of the cities around the world, that have nearer cultures to us than the States.
Actually now that I think about it, Melbourne is great! A lot of the great stuff of Vancouver, without all the nozzle Canuck fans!  |
+2 for Melbourne! Although instead of nozzle Canuck fans, they probably have nozzle footy fans from the eight different teams in the area. I didn't recall hearing about massive team brawls, but that could be a rough scene if something goes wrong.
Similarly, I thought Sydney and Toronto had a similar vibe, maybe that's why I like Melbourne better!
I never made it out to WA, but I've heard a few people say Perth feels a bit like Calgary...minus the ocean and snow....
