Where Does Time Go? Someone Please Find an Answer...

I left Sydney for Penticton on August 16th. I'm not even going to get into how time has flown by. I think that saying that time flies when you're having fun is kind of misleading. Though I have indeed had much fun, time flies regardless. I will probably write more on my impressions of Australia at a later time but for the moment I will keep things simple:

What I will miss (and already do) about my Australian life:

• living on a coastline and seeing the beautiful blue waters surrounding me
• staring into that unbelievable expanse of open water
• living a ridiculous life of not having to work
• staring out the window and feeling only slightly guilty about the time I've just wasted
• kangaroo meat
• running into a wallaby while cycling
• undulating landscape partly contributing to the already beautiful landscape
• a new-found delicasy...turkish delight (I know we have it in North American but it's not nearly as good)
• talking to Mark, Sharon and Radek on a regular basis
• have I mentioned I'll miss the water?

What I will not miss about my Australian life:

• 4 - 6 loads of laundry per week
• the grocery stores and bakeries
• riding my bike so often
• fighting with Australian drivers, whether on my bike or not

I'll expand the list as I think of things.
