I am a very proud Melbournian. I haven't spent all of my life here but I think that is what makes me appreciate it. I hear bagging of it at times from those who take it for granted, but it truly is a great city. While it is currently ranked as the most liveable city in the world - which is an INSANE thought because I can't believe it is possible - it's hardly perfect. But for the rest of my life, Melbourne will always be home. It always has been, no matter where I've lived, and it always will be. I will always want to come back to Melbourne. I'm not going to lie, I love leaving her and going on awesome travels, but she has also given me great adventures.
This post started out as a response to the news paper article in The Age that said that Melbourne was the 4th best student city after Paris, London and Boston (and Sydney was 6th - which is awesome for Australia - but take that Sydney :P) and this isn't a comment on what it's like as a student here, the article just prompted me to say how much I love my city. It may not have your souvenir photo scenes such as a bridge or an opera house. It may not have the greatest public transport system. It may not be dirt cheap.
But it does have awesome cafes :)
