Some things about Melbourne..
1. So far I haven't seen any lizards around, as in those slithery creatures so commonly found back home.
2. The longkangs here all seem to be covered/hidden. Can't seem to spot any in open view. They don't have monsoons here, so its understandable why.
3. Garbage collection at my place is in the wee hours of the morning - 4 plus am usually. And its automatically collected via a truck (driven by someone obviously). You won't see a man clambering up and down the truck though. The council provides each property with bins, and occupants have to put it onto the edge of the road and remove it by a certain time (for aesthetic purposes) else they get fined.
4. Bus drivers here. An interesting bunch of people. They say a nice hello how're you when you get on, and actually thank you when you get off at your destination (almost all that I meet). Unlike those back in KL, they don't act as if the world owes them a living. They actually seem happy with their job..and the buses (mostly) are really punctual. When the schedule states 2.55pm it really arrives then. I know, there are no traffic jams here.
p/s - to anyone living in Melb now, I'm looking for a job for the summer. Any news of openings, pls let me know. thankQ!
