why is Melbourne better than Sydney?!

Went on a vacation to Australia for a couple of weeks; decided to go to Sydney first and ended my trip in Melbourne. i've been to both place many times and Melbourne is the one that keeps me coming back to Australia. not that Sydney sucks.. but Melbourne in just waaaayyyy better!! and here is why (according to me):
- Better + Cheaper food
Nicer people. 
- Has an arts and entertainment culture (Sydney doesn't)
- We host the International Melbourne Comedy Festival, Grand Prix, Moomba and various other festivals. yeay!!
- Our CBD is easier to navigate
- We have trams and not light-rail.
- We have Australia's SECOND best university - the University of Melbourne, ranked 22 in the world! 

   (REFER http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Melbourne) =P
- Melbourne have cool Lanes to hang out at
- AFL comes from Melbourne - much better than that NRL crap
- Our Lord Mayor is John So. Everyone knows that he rocks!
- Traffic is better in Melbourne
- Melbourne has more markets for getting fresh fruit, produce and other cool stuff. There's Queen Victoria, Preston, Prahran, South Melbourne and many more!
- Melbourne is grid layout, north east south west. Sydney is a nauseating rollercoaster. hahahaha
- Fashionable, friendly. funky, fun, cool vibe, bars, parks.
- Better architecture rather than relying on the Harbour and Opera House for everything!
- Crown Casino kicks Star City's ass!
- Cheaper booze
- FASHION!
- We have the Eureka Tower - tallest residential building in the world!
- Public transport is so much damn cheaper!

well.. that's all from me. i just arrive in Bali yesterday, and i am missing Melbourne already.. 
*much Love*
