Movin ta Mellie

Well, on Good Friday I'm moving to Melbourne to start a new gig, and apart from a rather brief tour of Carlton, being blinded by a gail of dust and freezing my ass of in a windy rain shower last week I am still relatively ignorant of the place and all the wonderful activities to be had there.

So, if any of you guys can think of anything cool for me to see and do down there that would indeed be well fit.

that I do man, yeah, are there any cool Indian places around that you know of?

It's Chinese rather than Indian, but you HAVE to go to the Supper Inn in Chinatown (Celestial ave). Decor wise it's a dive, food wise it's bloody amazing. It's also sanely priced. You often have to queue to get a table.

We went to a Chinese restaurant one night when I was down there for the first Free Play. Can't remember what the place was called, but it's in that area where a lot of Chinese restaurants are. The service was really shocking [:D] We couldn't even get the notice of any of the waiters/waitresses the whole night, and the place wasn't even that busy. Food was nice though [:)]

If you're after good indian food, I recommend a place called "Bollywood on the park" which is in Box Hill South (~15Km east of the city). Plus if you're in Carlton, you owe it to youself to go try a pizza at Papa Gino's in Lygon St :)
