outdoorFun: Melbourne Part 1 (Wuhan flu slowdown) June 2020

Staying at the North Melbourne YHA after my brain surgery, (sometimes with a very sore left jaw due to some hard manipulation during the Op).

Going on walks thru the CBD. Eating at a great Chinese place (Kung fu restaurant). Where you select from a buffet of things (prawns, lettuce, greens etc) and then they weigh it and mix with a hot soup.

And getting the Odd outdoor piece of gear from Paddy Palin - a big outdoor gear store. Including some light RAB insulated boots... which make life easier when living out of my van in winter. Or camping in the snow.

Speaking in broken Italian or Spanish to some of the backpackers (a small number due to the flu) staying at the YHA.

I've warmed a lot to Melbourne CBD... quite good vibes, A New York feel of people from all over the world, operating businesses from Good chinese food to Hairdressers. And some well stocked Outdoor shops and electronic shops.

Lots of Good Grafitti in old alleways. And some huge skyscrapers.

There are some Chinese spies amongst the chinese population... keeping watch on chinese students try to stop them criticizing the CCP (chinese communist party) ... but the Chinese Fascist, I mean Communist Party is getting severely cut off from spying, manipulation, theft of patents, border threats, island theft, by angry countries all over the world.

Due to the incredible botch which released the Wuhan virus worldwide, and recent military aggression ( 20 indian troops killed in Ladakh in hand to hand combat with metal spikes by invading chinese troops, 50 or so chinese troops killed by outnumbered Indians...) , to South pacific islands being taken, threats to invade Taiwan, the real invasion of Hong Kong. Also a massive cyberattack of Australia in June.
Not a minute too soon, as they are highly dangerous and want absolute dictatorship of the entire planet.

They already have bought out most big institutions (!), from World Health Organization to the Ivy League unis in USA, to the MSM, and Hollywood, most of big Wall street and most of the democrat party. see the interview of Hong Kong CEO where he describes the CCP as a 90 million person mafia, with the rest of china (1.2 billion or so) as their slaves.

Video interview of Elmer Yuen (Hong Kong entrepreneur) with a chinese american interviewer.
See the vid at 24 minutes or so for the list of big institutions bought out by the CCP. And the end where he describes the huge courage of Hong Kong students , 10 000 of which have already been deported to China (and are probably in forced labour or similar) .

And now they want the entire world to bow and scrape... not gonna happen. India has already beat them at the high altitude Ladakh border scrapes. And even Aus is increasing militarily to hopefully prevent incursions. There is a chance of large scale internal riots due to poor treatment of army Veterans. Also a likely collapse of one of their huge badly made dams (due to corruption) with the pressure due to recent massive rainfall , killing a lot of people... and creating mass very angry riots against the CCP.

The Melbourne Suburbs vary a lot: from depressingly poor and drug infused in the North, to pleasant St Kilda and Box Hill , to Sheltered Rich fragile glasshouses in Chadstone (East of the CBD) .

I stopped at the Chadstone shopping centre and got some weird vibes from very Rich. There are also ok-looking rich schoolkids in impeccable uniforms. Giannia Versace type stores by the dozen and a ceiling from a sci-fi movie).
