Sunday - May 8

Melbourne - Victoria - Australia


Nothing pleases a boy more than arriving back into Melbourne and opening the sports pages to read of the continued dominance of his beloved football team



Observation of the day - There is a very prominent campaign here illustrating the perils of alcohol consumption. Whether it be highlighting the dangers of drinking and driving or the ramifications of excessive alcohol consumption on your ability to fight all manner of diseases but most of all, cancer. The campaign exists on billboards at roadside, and in all forms of the media both radio and television. Given that the burden alcohol related illnesses have on public medical expenditures is far greater than that related to tobacco it would seem only logical. It's somewhat confusing therefore that more western societies, (especially the US and UK) don't do the same.
