maybe i'll settle for melbourne cause i realise i have a cousin studying there! not that i'll go crash at her place; but at least she can recommend good deals and stuff. from what i remember, the last time i went melbourne, it was super metropolitan. but that's okay i guess. i love cities. but i think it's going to be super hot and stuffy? not too sure but when i went in early november the previous time, i remember there were days that were really baking hot and the temperature shot to almost 40 degrees C.

according to the official melbourne travel website;


DECEMBER
The weather is less changeable in December than it is in November, although it still can be quite varied. Cool and cloudy conditions can prevail for some days at a time during which the temperature remains below 20ºC. There are also some hot days, temperatures exceeding 30ºC on about six occasions, but hot weather does not often last for more than two days at a time. There have, however, been occasions when it persisted for much longer. Hot days are sometimes accompanied by an unpleasant north wind, which can be quite strong. On about two days high temperatures are associated with high humidity and there may be thunderstorms in the late afternoon on these occasions. Hot weather often comes to an end with an abrupt cool change when the temperature may fall by about 10ºC in twenty minutes. Some of these changes are accompanied by showers and thunderstorms then followed by strong and cold southwesterly winds. Nights are usually mild yet during hot weather the temperature overnight may not fall below 20ºC. Heavy rain falls on occasions.

oh god, that means you have to pack like all sorts of clothings to prepare for the sudden drop and rise in temperatures>< okay, a short trip would do.
