My trip to Melbourne inn Oct/Nov 2016 had been incredibly enjoyable, leaving me deeply impressed by the warmth and kindness of the people here.
The city itself has this unique charm, with Collin St and Degraves St reminding me of the vibrancy and liveliness of Karol Bagh in New Delhi, India.
The tram and train services are exceptionally convenient, making it easy to get around the city while taking in the sights at a relaxed pace.
The friendliness of the people stands out the most. There was a properly dressed guide helping tourists explore attractive spots around Melbourne, which was both thoughtful and refreshing.
During a visit to my community’s Big Kirtan, I arrived late for Langar, but more than two people were immediately ready to drop me off at the station, ensuring I had guidance to navigate even at a late hour.
On my way back, traveling by train in the evening, I met two patrolling staff who were genuinely concerned about my journey. They offered their assistance by calling a taxi for me on their phone when mine refused to connect to WiFi despite having paid for access. And as if that wasn’t enough, an Uber driver from Ethiopia even took the extra step to get a water stock for me at his own expense, showing a level of care that left me flabbergasted.
Melbourne has truly given me an unforgettable experience, one where the beauty of the city is equally matched by the kindness and hospitality of its people.
