[00:04.60]Listen to your colleague¹'s voice-mail message.

[00:07.89]Tick the things he tells you about.

[00:10.58]Hello,sorry to miss you.

[00:13.37]So you're going to Melbourne!

[00:16.38]I was there last year and loved it.

[00:19.67]You said you wanted some ideas about what to do.

[00:23.56]Well,I know you like looking at old buildings,

[00:27.66]so you should visit East Melbourne-it's very close to the center

[00:33.04]and there are some good coffee shops there.

[00:36.02]I really enjoyed looking around the area when I was there.

[00:39.84]As for restaurants,

[00:42.24]there are some excellent Greek² restaurants-

[00:45.64]did you know Melbourne has the largest population of Greeks³

[00:50.44]after Athens⁴ and Thessalonika?

[00:53.42]So Greek food is recommended⁵.

[00:56.82]I ate at the Samos Taverna-you could give that a try.

[01:02.20]Another place I really liked was Shakahari--

[01:07.29]it serves vegetarian⁶ food and is excellent.

[01:11.08]Even if you like meat,you'll enjoy your meal there.

[01:14.37]As for shopping,

[01:17.35]Daimaru is a big Japanese department store and has lots of interesting things.

[01:23.75]It's worth having a look there and at the shopping complex⁷ it's in.

[01:27.95]Finally,if you're staying in the centre,

[01:31.25]you'll probably be able to walk to most places,but

[01:35.06]if you're a bit tired,

[01:38.25]you should take the tram-you get a good chance to see the city

[01:41.04]and it's a really pleasant way of traveling.

[01:44.12]Have a great trip,and I'll see you when you get back.
