Melbourne VIC

Melbourne, Victoria

Australia's second city is a place of contradictions and hidden charms. A leafy, bay side community on the 'upside-down', brown Yarra River, it is cosmopolitan, suburban, cultivated, football crazy, conservative and a haven for the avant-garde. Visitors come for its shopping, restaurants, nightlife and sporting calendar, encouraging many Melburnians to believe that they live in one of the most civilised cities in the world.

Mr. Bush And Moses

So, as the story goes, Moses (yes the Biblical Moses) was walking down a street in Washington DC, when a man approached him. It was the US President George Bush.

AS they approached each other President Bush raised his hand to shake hands and stated, "Hi I'm George Bush"...

At which point Moses turned heel and ran for his life.

At couple of days the same two met and when Mr. Bush tried to introduce himself, once again Moses ran away.

This happened two or three more times when Mr. Bush decided to put an end to the running man.

So the next time they approached each other he grabbed Moses by the sleeve and said.

"Wait a minute, why do you keep running away from me?"

Moses smiled and looked at him and explained.

"It's nothing personal it is just the last time I listened to a talking bush I ended up spending the next forty years wandering in the desert"!!!
