Cold Winter



Everybody is complaining how cold the winter has been in Melbourne this year. Personally, I fully enjoy it as it is such a good relief from the hot and stinky Singapore weather. But having experienced long, grey and cold winters in Paris in the past I know exactly the effects it can have on the inhabitants sanity after a while (except that the skies usually are much bluer down here than in the Northern hemisphere). Anyway, one of the pleasures associated with the cold weather is the Hot Chocolate. And it does not come any better than in the numerous small cafés dotting Melbourne. The other enjoyable drinks in this coffee society are the heritage left by the Italians migrants in form of wonderful cafés and particularly café lattés in a glass!
