Leaving Melbourne

After a few days of wondering around in Melbourne I have decided to leave Melbourne, temporarely, to do a yoga retreat about an hour from Melbourne.
I was having trouble meeting interesting people here in Melbourne and decided this would probably be nice way to meet some nice people. I'll go to the retreat tomorrow and stay one or two weeks. And while doing the retreat I'll decide whether I really want to stay in Melbourne.
Melbourne itself is a really nice city, I especially like the CBD. It's obvious that they like good food here with hundreds of eateries and restaurants. They sell cheap sushi on every street corner. And there lots of cultural stuff going on. But it would be very hard to find a place to live in the CBD and at first I thought of living in St-Kilda, but after walking around there I'm not so sure whether I would like to live there, and it seems pretty far from the centre anyway.
And I've also been thinking that maybe I would like it much more in a small place, maybe Byron Bay, which is known to be quite an alternative place. The only problem about moving there would be that it's probably much harder to find a job there, because it is so small...
Anyway nothing has been decided yet, everything is still possible, maybe I'll decide to stay in Melbourne after all, we'll see...
