So, I am back in Sydney! I
must say that I was not much looking forward to my Sydney day to day life. I
was enchanted by European type of attractions and the time spend with my
friends and family. I must say that my place in Poland is more attractive and comfortable
than my Sydney equivalent. It is also much cheaper to live there and the
shopping is really good. Not to mention the time spent with my dear friends
playing canasta and chatting about nothing and everything. Going out was also a
strong point of the holiday. It is good in a way that I am not tempted by Aussie
cakes. I do not feel that I want to go for coffee at all. And this is one of
the positive things I find about my life here. Poland is a carbohydrate country
and this needs to be controlled by a strong will. Unfortunately, I did not do
too well in this department and now there will be a bit of work to get back to
healthier look and diet.
After one week, I am happy to realise that
my feelings towards Australia returned to normal and that I still call Australia
home. It feels nice, safe and comfortable. Like an old slipper as per Polish
saying. I am not sure if it is used in English as well. Maybe there are no
great cathedrals, maybe there are not that many parks and greenery around, maybe there
are no rolling hills, birches, lilacs, chestnuts, maybe women are more casually
dressed but there is something in the air that makes me feel like breathing
lighter and the sky above has been so blue as I had not seen for four months.
I am happy to be in my home
number ONE and plan my next trip in few months’ time to my second more complex,
charming home. Looks like I am a lucky girl.
Welcome home. Enjoy Spring weather!
