It’s about two months now in Melbourne. Had one chance to experience the Australian landscapes. That’s on my way to Melbourne from Sydney, but no more. Need to escape from the busy city for a while. It says it is snowing now in Victorian mountains but still no chance to see them. The enthusiasm of traveling is fading away as I lost my camera in Melbourne. Daily on my way to the university some good potential pics of sceneries, faces, and lifestyles scanning through my mind but unfortunately cannot convert them to digital format. May be I should start painting again. At least it’s cheaper compared to photography, A good camera worth more than my bank account at the moment. But the loads and loads of readings and searching at the beginning of my PhD have swallowed the time for it. Besides, my small apartment would not support that much space.
I hope I can find some free time, as I somewhat succeeded in my hunt for a place to live in Melbourne. Also some money to buy a good camera. Hopefully before the coming summer, when the sun borrows the sky.

Living in Melbourne
It's so easy to come to Melbourne Air Port but not from there to the home you desire...
This hold still true for me as there is a big competition for apartments and town houses in Melbourne and its suburbs. Now I have to live temporarily in an area a bit far (about 30km) from the university travelling up and down by train daily.
Winter is not that cold but it's raining as often as train leaves a station. You can expect the blue sky and the rain at the same time in this Victorain Capital.
People here are from all over the world making it a Salad city. It's like one place to see all the nationalities in the world. Except in certain areas of Melbourne, where Beijing is re-created in Australia.
Apart from Chinese and Indians, Australians(?) too live in Melbourne. And in Trains, Parks and Shops you have a chance of meeting a Sri Lankan too.
Last weekend I've a chance to travel in the city and see the Australian life style. Should take some pics next weekend when its sunny and bright during the short day time.
