Weird cab experience:

Cab driver: Where you from. You’re tourists right? Not Sydney-siders, no way.
Me: Sure.
Cabbie: Perth, is it Perth?
Me: Yah. We’re from Perth.
Cabbie: Naaaaw, you’re joking yes? Melbourne. YOU’RE FROM MELBOURNE.
Me: Um, you got us.
Cabbie: Whatcha here for hmm? (raining pretty hard outside)
Me: The weather.
Cabbie: MmmHmmm. You play an instrument? You should play, you young people. I really love the violin.
Me: Oh, you play?
Cabbie: No.

Another 5 minutes before the journey ends.
