After recovering from my horrific hangover, the next few days were spent mostly working. The only major event was the day after, Butzy asked if I'd like to join him and some of his old work mates for a game of pool and a drink in Melbourne. Never one to pass up a game of pool, I said hell yes and away we went. We all met up at a pool hall in Collins Street called Pulo, and Damien introduced me to the group.

Kris suggested we head to a Thai restaurant on Chapel Street - he called it Thai with a twist. Always one for trying new food, I gave a hell yeh vote and so alo...

After leaving inspire-9 last night, I headed back to Claremont Guest House to drop off my things before diving out to another house viewing I had arranged in Port Melbourne. Port Melbourne is to the south / south-west of the CBD - across the Yarra river. On the way I began snapping photos of my new surroundings - check out the same album as yesterday (15th of Feb) which has been updated with the days remaining photos. The area is predominantly residential, and...
