It's ranked #2 on the list of the world's most livable cities (I think Vancouver was #1).

Nice suburbs to live in include Camberwell, Glen Iris, Mount Waverley, Hawthorn, Prahan (great for the fags amongst you) and a lot of places in Zone 2 on the trainlines. Avoid Frankston and Dandenong like the fuckin' plague.

Be careful when taking trams as they tend to go from 0-60km and then back to 0 in a matter of nanoseconds. (Also, buy a monthly Metcard.)

Perth is full of scene girls, melbourne has those stereotypical blondes you see with the fuck huge glasses. But it's definately a nice place, not as many abbo's as a lot of other places.

Tons of Asians though. I'm asian myself, but...

Why do you think that is?

We hate abbos because they're menaces to society. 10 times worse than the nigras you guys bitch about, and statistically the dumbest race on Earth. We're also told by our teachers/government that we should all have a massive guilt complex for kicking their asses in battle 200 years ago and the kids they were raping, but this only makes us hate them moar.

We hate Americans because they're usually arrogant bastards who think we all live in huts. That and the fact that our leader made us go into battle with them when the majority of citizens didn't know or care about Iraq/Afghanistan/etc.

We hate Asians because as the only Western hub in the South Pacific, we get flooded with them. They come here, refuse to intergrate and learn two fucking words of English, and take over entire suburbs which they turn into ganglands.

Seriously, there aren't many aborigines in Melbourne at all, they're mostly concentrated in suburban Sydney (see Redfern riots) and in the remote Northen Territory/Western Australia.

Australia us about 10% Asian (Mostly Chinese), but less then 1% are Aboriginal. If you like Chinese food/culture make sure to visit Box Hill some time.

Unlike in America they'll only very rarely mug someone, though they will pester you for money (to buy booze no doubt)

We aren't? Well at least we're not worse then Americans, about the same as the Brits IMHO.

Queensland and some parts of NSW is something of a "deep north", and tends to have a lot of "yobbo" culture mixed with nationalism, very few immigrants or Aborigines, and as such tend to be a lot more right-wing nationalist then normal lefty Melbourne/Sydney.

If you look up the Crunella riots incident on Wikipedia, it was really a massive over-the-top reaction to long running Lebanese gang violence that finally crossed the line, that One Nation types hijacked to push their own racist agendas. A pretty disgraceful situation, we all feel ashamed about it but it wasn't done entirely out of racism.

Our new PM, Kevin Rudd has finally given the Aborigines an apology over the entire "Stolen Generation" incidents of the 70s and is shutting down the off-shore detention of illegal immigrants that Howard started. He's riding on a 70% approval rating so far, so he must be doing something right.

Melbourne is barely racist at all, and even if some people are they aren't going to tell it to your face. Racists are pussies.

Australians in general aren't racist. They're pleasant as fuck to foreigners, but there's an internal race problem. They have a large number of immigrants, and because there are so many they tend to cluster rather than integrate and it leads to miscommunication, culture clashes, and suspicion. Really I'd call it more of a culture thing than a race thing.

Not that there isn't *plenty* of racist white trash, but they're more of a fringe suburban thing. City people who interact with other races all the time, and more rural townsfolk who never interact with them at all, aren't anywhere near as racist in general.

Aboriginals are different though. If you've never actually met any I can understand why you'd consider the usual opinion of them to be racist. It really isn't. Don't make the mistake of projecting your American white guilt to encompass Australian blacks.

Melburnian abos are the country's best abos.

Not OP, I just got into Melbourne last night for a semester abroad. To those who know the city: what are some good areas to hang out in, and what are good areas for general shopping (not fancy high-fashion stuff, just everyday items like groceries, fans, alarm clocks, ect)

Any general advice?
>> Anonymous

HANGING OUT: I have NFI, really depends on what you like

SHOPPAN CENNAS: depending on where you are, just the local arcade strip/family-run markets/cornerstores. otherwise there's the big markets - victoria, south melb, etc., melb central, royal arcade and surrounds (mostly boutique extortion), chadstone/northland/eastland/knox 'megaplexes'.

lots of mad shops in the CBD generally, I just cbf ever finding them

Melbourne is by far the best. Sydney is OK, but it's not nearly as cultured or classy. Canberra is boring and Brisbane even more so, I wouldn't bother with Darwin or Perth, too small and too hot.

Melbourne has some good universities too, University of Melbourne, Monash are the best, Swinburne and RMIT are fine too. Deakin and LaTrobe are average. Avoid Victoria University, they're a bunch of wannabes.

Melb CBD is pretty damn easy to navigate since its a grid.
Night market is pretty cool, but it gets pretty crowded and the food there is a little on the pricey side.
Good to try different types of food though.

Not many abbos in the city, seen more in perth, havent been to sydney for years so cant comment on that.

There are tons of nice shops and cafes, and the city itself is very beautiful due to the mix of modern and old-fashioned architecture, plus a lot of parks and art.
