ChicagoBear Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 I’m looking for a little help from our Aussie friends tonight. My wife and 3 other ladies are traveling to Melbourne to see the Australian Open. Beyond the tennis, the only tip they have on things to do is something called “The Thunder Down Under.” This worries me a little. If any of you have some ideas on things to see or do in Melbourne, I thank you and will gladly pass them along.

I am compelled to say that the best thing to do in Melbourne is pack your bags, and GMTFO. Failing that, maybe a cruise around port phillip bay.. Also remember -- Never pay to see Australian "art". Especially the kind morans ooh and ahh about in Melbourne. Europe is for art & architecture. Australia is for sun and beaches. There is no culture here -- even for Americans I think the next trip down to 1127 would seal the deal for the bears. Eh .. Not quite.
aussiebear Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Posted January 21, 2010 China’s GDP Growth Accelerates to Fastest Since 2007 Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- China’s growth accelerated to the fastest pace since 2007 in the fourth quarter, capping Premier Wen Jiabao’s success in shielding the nation from the global recession and adding pressure to rein in a surge in credit. Gross domestic product rose 10.7 percent from a year before, more than the median forecast of 10.5 percent in a Bloomberg News survey, a statistics bureau report showed in Beijing today. Asset-price gains, particularly in property, are creating problems for the government to guide the economy, Ma Jiantang, who heads the bureau, told reporters after the release. The report stokes speculation the central bank will start raising its benchmark interest rate and tighten restrictions on the nation’s lenders. The one-year swap rate, an indicator of future changes in borrowing costs, climbed and the People’s Bank of China guided three-month bill yields higher for the second time in two weeks.
