Meat Meat Meat & Future Wives
Forgive the ineqliquence of this post - it's been a very long day and now at the end of a night of a few drinks, then a meal that consisted of 4 courses (meat followed by more meat with a main course of more meat,...and then desert) I'm trying to keep with the writing resolution that I started before I left on the trip.
The trip has been fantastic thus far. After arriving and claiming a tourist visa entrance at the airport, I (and my boss whom I am traveling with) were accosted by the immigration officer who kept asking "why are you coming to Melbourne for 7 days, why not Sydney, why Melbourne? Why not some place else? What do you know about Melbourne?" Of course my answer was - shit, I didn't know a damn thing. I was lying to him, telling him I was just coming in for a visit when I really should have told him I was coming in for a few business meetings etc. Anyway, after expecting nothing but a huge warm welcome that threw the both of us for a loop. But we got over it and so far everything else has more than lived up to expectations.
Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the city is beautiful and as far as work goes, the production and people that are involved in it are great. Tonight, as mentioned before I had a great meal at a true steak-house that served a fixed menu that had three courses of meat: sausage, liver then filets. Needless to say, all of them were great and combined with a bottle of wine it was fantastic.
The real kicker, my boss and I booked tickets to a Cricket match going on this Friday night. I've never watched Cricket, much less watched it live with 80,000 other Aussies so it will be a great experience. One which I will write about soon after...but for now, I need to sleep as there is work to be done tomorrow....
p.s. the future wives part of the title simply means, well, exactly what it says, I am coming back here sometime very soon as I feel damn certain that at least one of my future wives is in this country!!! They're all beautiful and apparently love American guys - we have the accents here! More soon.
