I love those flaming pillars!

The sausage thing you had for lunch at Luna Park we would normally call a sausage sizzle/sausage sandwich here in Sydney, but maybe they have a different name in Melbourne, I'm not sure.

I loved Melbourne, it's a great city!

They were pretty awesome :) (and hot o.O)

It was different there, something with "sag"? :\

It was really cool, I specifically love the fact they have a bunch of awesome theaters :)

Sanger? That's the only thing I can think of. Damn Melbournians and their crazy words!

Nah, it was more like "sag in sag" (only, you know, without that word twice :P

^_^ ♥

It was really cool, but when I was reading it it were mostly advertisements, and I don't think that's what it was intended for :\

Haha that's awesome, I suppose we like the same things then ;)

Yay I am glad I am not the only one. I always want a window seat for that :$

I love the window seat!
I was just reading your comments below, I also don't really understand how the Melbourne Cup practically stops the entire country! Though my boyfriend's mum explained that "it's a social thing." I enjoyed watching it (well, moreso the people) on tv!

Yeah, even days beforehand (when I was there) everyone was dressed up in smart clothes with weird fancy hats

Oh, I love Melbourne Cup day, and I'm sad I missed it this year! It is like the one day a year that New Zealanders all bet on the races, lol.

I love the pictures - I saw Wicked here in London and it was great! I know that Rob Guest who played the Wizard in that stage show died a few weeks ago, and that was a sad time for everyone. He was a very well respected theatre actor in NZ and Australia.

I was kind of lmao that people make so much fuss about a horse race that lasts like a minute :$ We were there days beforehand and everyone was already dressed up with weird fancy hats and such

It's an awesome musical. I've been meaning to see it in London for a while now, but I kept going to other shows.

I read about that, really sad :(

We don't make such a fuss about it in New Zealand, but it certainly is something we do celebrate. There are always work racing draws, and it is about the only day I would ever buy a betting ticket! I'm not sure why but yes!

I wanted to bet, but it seemed like everything was against me doing so (I couldn't bet in time) which I suppose was good as I would've bet on Septimus and he didn't win
