It rains a whole lot here but it also has many different types of climate. if you want snow you go to our wonderful mountains, if you want desert you go to eastern washington and if you want national trails to go to, our national forest all over washington and if you want rain, rain rain , you go to the rain forest here in wash, if you want casinos, they surround me on all sides of washington and if you want mainly a real rain [size=] [/size]y winter and beautiful trees , you stay about in the middle of Washington where I reside.

I AM CANADIAN as the Molsen promos say.Molsen is a brewery for those not familiar with it.
I was born in the beautiful rolling highland hills of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia.They have been compared to my ancestoral's highlands in Scotland.
Yes.I am a wee Scottish lass.
I now live outside the capital city of Halifax.Still country but close to everything you need in old age.
We have fantastic weather most of the time.A few really cold days in winter and some snow but not near what we had when we were kids.
I wouldn't trade living here for anything.

Today was the famous Melbourne Cup Race which runs every year on the first Tuesday of November. It is a recognised public holiday in Melbourne, so I was lucky to have the day off today!!!!

I picked 3 horses....which turned out to be donkeys

Some info about the Melbourne Cup....


t is a day when the nation stops whatever it's doing to listen to the race call, or watch the race on TV. Even those who don't usually bet, try their luck with a small wager or entry into a 'sweep'. A sweep is a lottery in which each ticket-holder is matched with a randomly drawn horse and prize money is paid out to the first three places plus a 'consolation prize' for the horse that runs last.

In Melbourne, Cup Day is a public holiday for the Melbourne metropolitan area, and the highlight of the Spring Racing Carnival. The party atmosphere often means that champagne and canapés, huge hats and racetrack fashions overshadow the business of horse racing.

American writer Mark Twain said of a visit to the Melbourne Cup in 1895:

Nowhere in the world have I encountered a festival of people that has such a magnificent appeal to the whole nation. The Cup astonishes me.

The first Melbourne Cup was run in 1861 at Flemington Race Course and was won by Archer, a horse from Nowra, New South Wales. The prize was a gold watch and £170. It has run every year since.

Here is a small overview of the City of Melbourne:


Melbourne is also home to the famous Westgate Bridge:






Here is an aerial view of the town in which I live.


Unfortunatley I live near the crappiest beach in Victoria (Port Phillip Bay) but am only a drive a way to the niiiice beaches.

The coolest places to hang in Melbourne would be St Kilda, and Chapel Street South Yarra - awesome shopping, food, and nightlife!

Im from the city of Molde in Norway.
Most interesting thing we have here in our hometown is Moldejazz.
An international jazzfestival is taking place here every year in the middle of July. Worth a visit guys!
