Check out ultra cool John So & myself on Australia Day!

This man is the Mayor of my home city, Melbourne.

Everyone absolutely loves him. Don’t ask me why, but you can’t not like him. His english isn’t great, but his very cute in a way. This is the type of people we want running our city.

Johns even had a song written about him titled “John So, His Our Bro” and check him out here at this massive rave: http://youtube.com/watch?v=85KxIIu0dkM

Anyway, on Australia Day, John So put on a huge fundraiser, where you could buy a duck and race it against 10,000 other ducks. First duck down the Yarra, and over the line won a car. Oh, and the ducks where yellow rubber duckies!

Impossible to tell if your leading, or if your duck has jumped course, you cheer anyway. All in the hope that your little duckie will get up and win.

The picture on the right shows the ducks heading, ever so slowly, down the Yarra River.

….and guess who won!

Ok wrong, not me. But I couldn’t help getting a picture with John So after the race. When he excitedly asked “Do you want the duck in the picture too??” I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
