Melbourne = Sum of which cities?
Hi all,
If you had to compare Melbourne to some other cities around the world, which would they be and why?
eg. Melbourne has the architecture of Amsterdam, the vibrancy of Barcelona, the weather of Moscow. The crime of Bogota.
Catch my drift?

(ps seeing pics of thpse palms in St Kilda reminds me of Barcelona..anyone agree?)

Re: Melbourne = Sum of which cities?
Melbourne has a similar feel to Cape Town. Similar architecture, similar weather, similar type of people similar size. Unfortunately, Melbourne city isn't as beautiful (but nowhere is really but Victoria has some beautiful parts too).
