After returning to Melbourne after 10 years away, really disappointed. Small, boring place. Expensive housing, though cheaper than Syd and London. Expensive art scene with not much turn-over. Can't get a coffee after 2/3 o'clock and generally not that friendly. Potentially good to raise a family but if in the outer suburbs will have a bit of a commute. Sydney is a real city but at the cost, decided London is better.

Melbourne is a nice place to life I lived there for 11 months and it is a great city, Melbourne has a few small big city problems when compare with others big cities. I'm sure the score will be more if we count cultural and sports events. I met people from England, France, Brazil, Japan and Germany and they said that Melbourne and in general Australia is the best place to lived in the world.

Melbourne to me is among the best places anywhere to live. It's easy to find negative aspects if you want to, but compared to other places I've lived and visited, it's got everything going for it and opportunities to succeed abound if you have the ambition. I've lived in other places where no matter how hard you try, the opportunities just aren't there and you get stuck in a cycle of disappointment and frustration. Melbourne, on the other hand, continues to reward the majority of those who work hard and believe in themselves. Additionally, it's a beautiful city with such a diversity of cultures and a rich landscape.

Day 3 of 7 in Melbourne and honestly I wanted to fly back home to Perth as soon as my taxi dropped me off at my hotel in the middle of Fitzroy. The people I’ve encountered so far have been extremely rude, racist and inconsiderate. Never have I felt scared to walk around in a crowded city before. I’ve felt more safe walking alone in countries such as Mexico and Cambodia than I have in Fitzroy and Melbourne in general. First time in Victoria and I think it’ll be my last.
