I haven’t been overseas as much as I’d like, but I’ve lived in Melbourne most of my life.

Sometimes it feels like it’s basically just a much larger version of a small town. Maybe all of Australia is kind of like that.

Honestly I’m inclined to agree. I liken Australia cities to subway sandwiches. At their core they are basically the same with only toppings to differentiate them slightly.

Most every place has its charms. Sometimes it takes a visitor to show you the wonder in something that to you has become normal or mundane.
It’s the little things that make a place special to me. Things that aren’t famous, that you won’t see photos and expos about.
Like walking down a street in Saigon and seeing a tiny little shrine just minding its own business on a street corner. Quirky and not something you hop on a plane for.

  The closest thing we have to a shrine is a Woolworths or a coles, where we regularly go to give offerings to our CEO gods.
  
  A minority sect is the Aldi crowd.
