You're so right Pumpkin.
Last year when Pheesh and I were in Melbourne we stayed at this lovely hotel that had little apartments. Anyway, Pheesh had gone out one afternoon for a drum workshop, and I had an infected knee from a bug bite ('straya!) So I wasn't up for going out so I just sat on the balcony wrapped up in a blanket people watching and it was just so nice man. The hotel is right in the centre of Chinatown too so it was really vibrant and lively all afternoon.
