And so they arrived, the only notices on Facebook.

Became the designated tour guide for Terry and Matt yesterday. Met them in Melbourne Central, and then the first stop they wanted was Smith St.

"Why?"
"Cos we heard there was massive discounts on sports stuff."

Not a bad reason, so we headed off to Collingwood, where the next 3 hours were spent trawling from shop to shop, trying to find Terry a pair of new shoes.

After searching in vain for something that suited him, we left for Docklands, where they were supposed to meet up with some high school friends for lunch. Had fish and chips, which were supposedly inferior to that in Sydney. Then more old friends turned up.

Apparently a lot of my high schoolmates are here in Melbourne. And they meet up quite often. To think that I've been looking out high and low for any of them here. Oh well. But I found out that they are poker addicts with their own poker set, so I'm thinking of inviting them for IESS's Poker Night next semester.

After lunch, went back to the city for bubble tea. There I parted ways with them, letting them wander off with their ex-classmate to Spencer St DFO.

It's always nice to meet up with old friends.
