And by "hobbies," I mean "things we do on the internet when we need a quick break to restore our sanity." When my job gets too rough, I take a minute to check in on one or two favorite sites and pull myself together. Lately I've been thinking about travel. I won't be able to get there myself anytime soon, but I like to look up what the weather is like in my dream travel destinations.
I've been looking at Rome, Paris, and some of the traditional European destinations, but I've also been looking west. I've always wanted to visit Australia. The Melbourne weather forecast doesn't look so great today (thunderstorms), but it's their springtime down there, which means it would be a great place to visit this winter. I've looked at Sydney, Cairns, and Perth, as well, but for some reason I keep going back to check the Melbourne weather. I've heard good things about Victoria, and their National Gallery is supposed to be worth seeing.
Is it weird that I'm going to check the weather in other countries? It's cheaper and easier than traveling, and it's nice to know that things are at least nice somewhere in the world when they suck here. What odd stuff do you look up on the internet?
