Just want you to know we're not all like that!! I am Melbourne born and bred, however I dont hold any flag for Melbourne or Vic. I see Sydney as the most beautiful City in Australia, with possibly Perth second. However Sydney happens to be (has been for a long long time) the home of my favourite football team. Melbourne also has its good points, but I think you have to see any place for what it really is, not be biased because of where you grew up. I also lived in New South Wales for a while, specifically Coffs Harbour, where when meeting people I would regularly be referred to as a 'Mexican' due to coming from south of the border. Tiring of this ridicule once I thought I would beat someone to the punch by intruducing myself as a 'Mexican' - by surprise they then exclaimed that it was hard to believe with my fair hair and complexion, lol.
