Added on October 19, 2008, 10:10 amwell it can get personal when it comes to syd vs melb rivalry thing...well ive got affected too... melb is much better when it comes to events....alot of stuffs are held here...say the race that stops the nation..Melb Cup, Aussie Open, the 1st grand slam event of the year, Australian F1 GP, 1st event of the F1 calander usually....what else ah?

oh the transport system, city layout trumps sydney's anytime....cheaper too....it has a more European feel to the city as well...no Cronulla racist rubbish....beaches are safe (no jellyfish / shark attack bullcrap), home to the AFL but at the same time can still teach those NSW fellas the right way to play rugby league (Melb Storm has kicked NSW / Qld teams assess for so many times i cant even remember and the sport is not even a fav here!)....biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere is over here too....chadstone....

i think the night life here is better, as u should know how the whole melb shuffle started from here...u dont hear no 'sydney opera house shuffle' ever do u?

yes alot depends on the individual......and also ur personal definition of 'lively'.....

Unfortunately Storm just lost the league to Sydney, totally outplayed. At least for AFL it was a all VIC finals, Hawthorn vs Geelong.

Upcoming A-League Melbourne VS Sydney for those interested, in the Telstra Dome.

Sydney... hmm... felt overrated with it. I agree that Melbourne City is smaller, but it is way more organised. Sydney is like a big mess, didn't really fancy it coupled with the outrageous transport cost like literally forcing you to get weekly or monthly tics. Kudos to Metlink 2 hour/daily zone 1,2 system although there are talks regarding it gonna be so breaking down soon. I must give it up to Sydney for having a slight edge in food with Hurricane and Seoul etc. or maybe I'm just biased being sick of what there is in Melbourne.

And scenery... well. Not really a fan although I did like Darling Harbour and Opera house. I felt Crown was livelier than Star but I guess this was a timing thing perhaps considering I've been to Crown Casino countless of time and only twice in Star.

when i was in M'sia i did my medical check up in Tung Shin Hospital in KL. if i'm not wrong i paid less than RM 100 for the entire thing

I am going off on the 6th of Feb.
Flying to Sydney then find transport to Canberra.....
