Time to hit the Melbourne Museum! The insect section? Impressively intricate. But the real showstopper? The Triceratops display—with a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood script. Turns out, this prehistoric rockstar was unearthed in Montana, USA, where property laws are delightfully simple: finders, keepers. So, instead of a high-stakes bidding war at Sotheby’s, Melbourne Museum […]

Hit up the National Gallery of Melbourne today—bonus points for the fact that entry was free! Nothing like world-class art without the price tag. Had a jaw-drop moment spotting some Uzbek pieces in the Asian collection (was not expecting that!). Naturally, my favorite part was Picasso’s hand-made plates—because even his dishware is a masterpiece. But

Our friends, Igor and Vika, took us on a grand tour of their favorite Melbourne gems, and let’s just say—they have impeccable taste. The upscale looking coffee spot with live music, then wandered into a tiny but ridiculously gorgeous orangerie, followed by a hidden nook that felt straight out of Paris. Très chic. Wrapped it

Took a stroll to the Botanical Garden—absolutely stunning. And the best part? Totally free! Mother Nature really outdid herself on this one. Meanwhile, Melbourne’s weather was putting on its best toddler impression—sunny, then rainy, then windy, then hot again, all in the span of a coffee break. Put that on repeat, and you’ve basically got

Slowly emerging from the food poisoning abyss, now just strolling around Melbourne like fragile survivors. The weather? Delightfully kind. The vibe? Immaculately chill. We’re basically just two pale ghosts plus M wandering the streets, soaking in the city’s charm and praying our stomachs don’t stage a sequel.

Ah, Melbourne! We’ve arrived — and so has the food poisoning. Both D and I are currently starring in our own gastro-thriller, courtesy of yesterday’s farewell meal. Apparently, Southeast Asia wanted to leave us with something memorable. So here we are: standing in customs lines, puking, and pondering our life choices. Cheers to new beginnings…

Rainy day? Shocker. 🌧️ We embraced the weather like true pros: by doing absolutely nothing strenuous. Coastal stroll, pool time, followed by a leisurely lunch at the local resort restaurant — because if you can’t tan, you can at least eat like you’re on vacation. Later, we’ll board our overnight flight from Bali to Melbourne.

Travel Log: Chaos Edition Woke up to some delightful news: our flight to Australia got bumped from Feb 13 to Feb 14 due to a mysterious “operational necessity.” (Translation: someone sneezed near the scheduling system.) Cue frantic rebooking, and voilà — we snagged a flight for Feb 12. Turns out it’s overnight, so we land

Rain, rain, go away… or at least give us an A! It’s been pouring all day—like, Noah’s Ark levels of commitment. Meanwhile, Daniel and I heroically battled Khan Academy’s unit tests (cue dramatic music) in physics (oh, the thrill!) and world history (plot twist: we’re not great at it). A tragic 77% passing rate in

Set out to explore the area we live in (Seminyak), got caught in a heavy rain —classic rainy season in Bali. Our beach, Seminyak, had “no swimming” signs up, which, to be fair, was a bit annoying even though Bali isn’t exactly brimming with family-friendly beaches (contrary to popular belief). Lunch became a DIY project
