First Day in Melbourne

My First day in melbourne has been rather uneventful. I'm very sick and trying to explore the city through the haze of flu medicine and the sleeping pills still wearing off from the flight. I've been walking around the CBD (which I can only assume stands for central business district, don't quote me though) and it seems a bit more industrial than I had imagined. Also, there is much more of a significant impact by asian cultures on the city than I had expected. The main drag is a covered sidewalk on either side of Swanston Street flanked by swanky boutiques, specialty shops, and seedy take out restaurants. I'm sure I'll find a lot more to do when I'm feeling better but at this point it seems a bit overwhelming. Where to go first? Have I contacted everyone I told I would? Do I still have all my ducks in a row? I think it's best to get a good rest tonight and hopefully tomorrow will be more relaxing.
