[@jooliroo]

My partner and I live in Toronto, but she's been away on work exchange in Melbourne since March and will be there for half a year. I was lucky enough to visit her for just over 3 weeks in April and I absolutely fell in love with the city. It's got most of what Toronto has and then some, and I couldn't agree more about how good the vibes are, especially in the CBD. It's crazy how recognizable everything is since I was able to tell exactly where you two were within the first couple seconds of each shot - I really miss being in Melb and I really miss my partner :') Thanks for the awesome vlog and giving me a chance to relive my last few weeks for 13 and a half minutes

My partner moved here (Melb) from Toronto. I have loved visiting Toronto and found it to be the closest city to Toronto feeling right at home when there.

[@inodesnet]

Continue to love your videos. I am a massive Melbourne fan (although from Sydney). When you pick up Blueberry you really need to see more of Melbourne. Melbourne and Sydney are similar in that they're both cities of villages (the suburbs are cities and towns in their own rights). The CBD of both cities is only one aspect of the city. To make an analogy out of food it would be like getting a hotdog loaded with toppings, but only ripping out the sausage and taking a bite of it then dumping the rest. Melbourne has the worlds largest tram network (actually it's so large, if you combined all the light rail and tram networks in North America together, Melbourne's track length is still longer). So it's super easy (if a little slow), to get to all the villages you need to see from St Kilda, Chapel St through Windsor, Prahan, South Yarra through to Richmond, the MCG, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Collingwood, Willamstown, Brighton Beach....

[@Ishidanfarded2370]

Sydney sucks as well

[@spike62002]

So glad you caught the vibe in Melbourne. I moved to the Melbourne CBD to live about 3 months ago and still can't stop smiling. It's such an accessible city with the free trams, really loving it

[@briancampbell179]

Before retiring, I spent 5 days a week for 34 years working in the Melbourne CBD. Close to the end of my time there, my wife and I did a 'tourist' guided tour around the city and I was stunned at all I missed in those 34 years.

Did you see the building with the face on it? It's amazing! The portrait is of William Barack, an Aboriginal artist who lived in the late 1800s/early 1900s. It takes up several floors of a high rise building at the western end of Swanston St. Its best seen from a distance or from some elevation, so Rialto skydeck or even the Shrine of Rememberance are good plaves to get the full effect.

I said out loud "Well there's some non-touristy coffee right there for ya if you like" 😂😂.

[@beardymcbeardface69]

I was born in Crown St Sydney, lived here in Sydney almost all my life (50 years), with Sydney Harbour literally across the road for us, but I have to admit, Melbourne has the best vibe, food and coffee. In Sydney you need to seek out the good places for food and coffee, as the average is pretty average. Whereas in Melbourne pretty much any random restaurant or coffee shop will have great food and amazing coffee. Melbourne seems like a great model to demonstrate how beautifully a multicultural society can work.

Hi Guy's, I'm glad you both enjoyed your time in Melbourne. It's a good city to live in and a great mix of European and Asian cultures. Fun fact Melbourne's population is made of immigrants from over 200 countries so not only can you find authentic food from these countries and food that is a fusion of them. It doesn't have the spectacular scenery of Sydney but is a cool and relatively easy place to live and that's why immigrants seek to come here to live. Anyway, I guess if you're back in town welcome back to a cold wintery Melbourne and I hope you get the chance to see an AFL game and see a bit more of Melbourne and it's outskirts. Safe travels! Cheers, Stef.

Tia's reaction when she ate the sushi said it all. Since you guys love Asian food, Little tip for you if you come to Brisbane, "China Town" (aka fortitude valley) in Brisbane is not the real China Town, it's just the place that's called China Town (there is a few good Asian restaurants there but not many) The place you'll want to go is Sunnybank (about 20km south of Brisbane CBD) Actually many of the best bits of Brisbane are in the surrounding suburbs, luckily you have blueberry to escort you around. On the topic of blueberry can anyone recommend a good mechanic for Mazda's in Melbourne? Blueberry's probably just about due for a health check.

Actually relatively cheap to get a drink at Arbory on the river :) Glad you enjoyed the city,

Melbourne's Stadium MCG has an awesome atmosphere

Since Covid Melbourne is still in transition, it’s going to take some time to bring it back to its former glory, But it’s still the best city in my opinion having travelled all over Australia, bonus being I’m from Melbourne and responsible for working on some of the modern infrastructure..

These past few days we have noticed how modern many of Melbourne's skyscrapers are. It's got a really interesting skyline, in a good way 😊
