Day 2 in Melbourne, Australia
Evening Activities
Last night we had dinner at a local place serving food, drinks, and a bit of Aussie humor. Our parameters for finding food were something close to our hotel and western cuisine...that's it. The food wasn't bad actually - surprisingly.
Shopping Experience
Afterwards, we experienced the joys of the current trade war as we desperately sought jackets for this cold spell. $1000 to $1600 AUD for a thin, water resistant jacket from a major U.S. sportswear brand. A similar jacket was seen in the company's store in the U.S. for <$200 USD. We were cold, but not that cold!
