That being said, I am currently living in England... The life here is very different, yet very similar.
In Australia my life revolved around being outdoors, doing physical sports and activities. Racing yachts, surfing, motorbikes, going to the beach, scuba diving was just an average weekend. The ocean was central in my life and I would visit it everyday.
Here, the weather doesn't allow for much outdoors time, and most of the towns are either inland or the "beaches" are not anywhere on the Australian scale.. So what to do with my days? Study? Read? Go insane from being indoors? Get hypothermia? (Btw, it's still "summer" here.)
As you can see, I'm not assimilating very well... So I thought I'd write a list of all the good things about England... Here goes...
- Lots of free museums/ art galleries
- The countryside is really quite pretty
- The wildlife is very cute and fluffly... No teeth or venom
- Jaffa cakes are the bomb
- Yorkshire pudding should have come across on the first fleet (I'm sure there were many from Yorkshire in chains on that fleet..)
- Everyone is very polite
- The public transport is on time, every time
- No religion in politics
- No guns
- Groceries are cheap
- Policemen wear funny hats and are quite helpful
- Stacks of wildflowers
- No urban sprawl, it's either city or country
- Great weather for growing plants
- Free paper on the train...
- You really cant get sunburnt
- You can visit the Queen...
- It's close to Europe.. (I'm struggling)
- Someone will always tell you when you're queueing incorrectly
- You will always get a receipt
I'm sure as the weather gets worse I'll write the opposite of this list.. But at least for now I'm trying.... Kinda
