Am I insane to spend just one night in Melbourne?? What for???
When I knew Hiromi Uehara(A Japanese jazz pianist) was coming to Melbourne for Mel. international
jazz festival about 2 weeks ago, I immediately purchased a ticket. No hesitation.
Her schedule in Australia was only in Melbourne, not in Sydney so I have to fly toMelbourne. No hesitation. Video above was in Feb. 2012 at Tokyou Jazz festival
She released her first album at 23y.o. and she has been hot for 10 years.
Her joyful energy is so powerful , and she is an amazing player, great composer and she quotes her emotion into improvisation.
Anything else in Melbourne...?!? I googled " raw food restaurants" and found very popular place is called Yong Green Food. I determined to check it out.
Near Southern Cross station I took 112 tram to the centre of Brunswick St.where Yong Green Food was.
My choice was Rawsagna, which meant raw food version of Lasagne, and it was divine.
Brunswick has funky cafes, shops and graffiti on most of the walls, very cool...
At night after the concert, I cruised into Crown Casino at Southbank.
Saturday night, so you can imagine it would be a place to be but it was beyond my imagination.
People,people more people , flood of people inside the huge complex were having dinner, throwing money on betting tables, that was incredible.
