yeah.. parades through the city, and i think there is an autumn
festival in conjunction with the F1, the Moomba.. with rides and
games and stuff.. a big fair 
then on tv, there's a lot of F1 related things...
if the people involved with the Singapore F1 know what they're
doing, they should go there and learn.. the whole of melbourne city
is involved...
then there are things like celebrity races, V8 Supercar races at
the track..
in the city, everywhere is decked out for the races, sales and
things like that connected with the race, stuff like that all
week..
good stuff.. that's why i want to go for the week before the race
and a few days after to do some proper sightseeing.. i was a lousy
failure when i was in uni there.. never visited the touristy sites
like the great ocean road and all that
