I live in Brisbane, and like joannie_mhm, I was going to defend my city, but I really can't be bothered as I don't think anyone would believe me that Brisbane actually has some good points
however, I've visited both Sydney and Melbourne, and I must say, the idea of sydney going along
quietly being sexier made me LMAO
I like sydney, there's lots of bits that I think are beautiful, cool, fun whatever....but Melbourne has a soul to it that Sydney just can't match.
If Melbourne and Sydney were people, Sydney would be extremely conventionally attractive who sure, has their good points, but is too concerned with self-promotion to bother facing their innumerable insecurities head on. In short, they use diversion tactics to detract from their lack of substance.
Melbourne however, would be one of those effortlessly cool types, with impeccable taste, who sure, might be annoying because of how cool they are (tall poppy syndrome is great, no?
) but at the same time, would actually be an interesting, genuine and funny person, therefore kind of justifying their coolness...
hmmm i think i just got a bit caught up in that analogy....my sincerest apologies
