Sounds pretty amazing doesn't it? But when you put 20 odd country kids in the centre, shit can get crazy! Upon arriving in the city, (travelling by car) luckily i wasn't trusted enough to drive, so i spent many minutes with the head in a pillow, hoping we weren't side swiped by a tram or a crazy yellow taxi! However, our country driving skills paid off and we arrived in one piece. Almost. . . my pillow was a little worse for wear.
So what might you ask where 20 country kids doing in the big city. Big Day Out. Its well, a big day out, filled with the scorching sun, amazing bands, 60,000 sweating bodies rubbing against each other. Sounds like amazing stuff doesn't it? Except i didn't go. Haha, i mean i went to M e l b o u r n e but i didn't go to the big day out, because alike some country kids, i am slightly claustrophobic. However all my friends had a fabulous day, and i had a great day pa rousing the designer shops, thank you tiffany & co for making me realise i can never afford you!
Aside from the busyness and the hectic traffic, M e l b o u r n e truly is breathtaking. Its quiet refreshing to be in a place abuzz with people, a great contrast to my tumbleweed of a town. However you can't stay forever, money and commitments won't allow!
So today we left the bright lights for the quiet countryside. Might i just add, i do love the city but gee its great to be home. Although its still freaking hot, i prefer the hot soil then the hot bitumen to twinkle my toes on.
