I made it. Total travel time from my door to the hotel door, approximately 60 hours. All of which I was awake for.<\/p>\n
So after this heroic journey, I rolled into the hotel, caught a shower and a change of clothes, and then went and worked a full day at the office.<\/p>\n
I am a steely-eyed missle man.<\/p>\n
(Apparently the psychotic visions don’t hit until 72 hours without sleep–so I’ve got four more hours before things get fun.)<\/p>\n
So far my experience of Melbourne has been:<\/p>\n
1) The airport. Quite efficient.
\n2) The cab to the hotel. Mostly listening to the cabbie yell at this sister in some Arabic language. Scenery is a bizarre combination of NYC and old waterfront Toronto.
\n3) The office. Just like every high tech office in the world.
\n4) The Thai place. Pretty bland
\n5) The corner store: fresh ginger, and carrot cake, along with the usual corner store stuff.<\/p>\n
