It's raining today. Stormed yesterday. Makes me realize that this is the first time since I've been here that I've encountered heavy rain in Melbourne. No wonder everyone's in a fuss about the drought.
People here in Victoria feel the same way about water conservation as we do about energy conservation. To some point more, becuase there are actually heavy legal restrictions on water usage. I've been doing my best to keep my showers to the recommended 4 minutes, but it ain't easy!
There are certain things I will miss dearly when I leave:
Meat pies - yummmmmm
Way too much Men At Work playing Down Under
The feeling of intense sunlight
All my international friends and their silly accents
All my Australian friends and their silly accents
Australian wine
The differences in the way society is open and friendly, I'll have to post something on this
Ridiculous wildlife
I'm sure I'll think of more before I leave...
Some things I'll be happy to get away from:
Vegemite!
House music!
Australian beer
Tiny gyms
NO dancing!
The train outside my window
Hopefully this list will remain small

ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot this, but my biggest pet peeve in Australia so far is left handed zippers!!!!
