more reasons to love this city

a wander through the city of christmas. the arcades are filled with decorations, fed square is like a christmas tree plot.  i haven't got pictures of city square yet, but that's looking awesome and there are giant tin soldiers guarding the town hall.  my favourite of all buildings is a maze of melbourne designers selling funky wares, and two great stores next to one another are on the second floor.  if you take the elevator, make sure that you get the one with all the postcards and a driver, old fashioned heaven.  well, for me it is.  anyway, the two stores, l'uccello and harold & maude are simply fantastic with both owners are cheerful and fabulous.

the gingerbread city is a display by the city of melbourne and can be found in the town hall.  you can't eat the mcg but there are little delights to purchase while you're there.
