Butterfly Club

We stopped by one of Melbourne's nuttier nightclubs, The Butterfly Club, for a tipple this evening:





It's in an old hotel, and each room is decorated differently. The main attraction is that have actual cabaret, though we have yet to see it.

Trivia

Big winners! We had an epic night at trivia tonight at the Cornish Arms - there were only four of us, but not only did we win first place ($50) for the second week in a row, we also won the $175 bonus question (they add $25 every week until someone gets it) by correctly answering these three questions:

• What chemical element has the lowest boiling point?


• What inappropriately-named land is known as Kalaallit Nunaat by its natives?


• With 89.5 million visitors, what country drew the most tourists last year?

Of course, it's all bar money, meaning we have to go back...

Crush

The morning crush outside Flinders Street Station:


The pedestrian walk signal gives pedestrians the whole intersection.

Thanksgiving

We just waddled home from an awesome Thanksgiving picnic at Studley Park thrown by Democrats Abroad. Melbourne's a good food town, but today all the dishes were cooked by Americans, who know how to do Thanksgiving right. Really great! We made a pecan pie that went over well. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures during, so here's Marjorie during our soggy walk home...

Festival

The Johnston St Mexican Festival we wandered across while shopping yesterday:


We've attended on purpose in the past, but just did a run-through this time.
