I am an import from NZ so cant join in any rivalry between cities in OZ. I have not been to Melbourne -yet. But I lived in Sydney for 20 years, & now live on Central Coast. Much slower, &, for an old fart, nicer.<BR/>I think I am going to have to read your books!<BR/>I am a fan of Bec's.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-3357686011082638132007-07-25T00:06:00.000+10:002007-07-25T00:06:00.000+10:00Perth .. good old Perth!

We have it all, the mining the boom and the freekin expensive houses too, so actually every thing but the big Australian dream. <BR/>But it's pretty here and we love it. <BR/>Happy Happy Birthday Tony, wishing you many many more beautiful years to come.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277854645434859624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-27808325574855142572007-07-23T02:58:00.000+10:002007-07-23T02:58:00.000+10:00There's inter-city rivalry between Cape Town and J...There's inter-city rivalry between Cape Town and Johannesburg (Jozi) here in South Africa. Jozi (where I grew up) is undeniably much more friendly and vibey (and wealthy), but also significantly more crime-ridden; Cape Town (where I lived for 20 years), like some human beings I know and don't like very much, rides rather cynically on its fabulous good looks (the mountain, the sea, the vineyards...). I have a great essay on the topic (not written by me) published years ago in a local magazine that's too long to place here but I'll post it on salma-gundi.blogspot. Read it. It's a hoot and wonderfully close to the bone.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02111585072191458071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-74749838569543625102007-07-21T23:01:00.000+10:002007-07-21T23:01:00.000+10:00Dali.

I know it still gets cold up there, but I've been having fond thoughts of its tiny cbd and muddy river as the temps drop and drop here in Sin City.<BR/><BR/>Hard to beat Sydney, though, as cities go...<BR/><BR/>(and happy birthday, dude).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
