Adelaide

Well I've neglected this poor blog a bit in past weeks - and I'm afraid it might continue to be neglected in following weeks due to probable lack of internet access! Never mind - it's a temporary thing :)

I left KL in a crazy hurry and came back to Adelaide a few weeks earlier than planned so that I could attend my gran's funeral. So I've had a little extra time on my hands, which I've mostly spent clearing out my old room and doing other things to prepare to move to Canberra. Pretty boring. BUT luckily I still have a few great friends in this lovely city and have been able to catch up with a few of them too! Photos coming soon :)

How I know I'm NOT in Brickfields, KL anymore:

• When I lie in bed at night, I usually can't hear ANYTHING. This includes dogs barking, doors/gates being opened and closed, people talking, trains (LRT or KLIA Express), motor bikes, cars, music, prayer bells...
• Food doesn't come with chilli, and the fork's partner is a knife rather than a spoon
• Coffee is both awesome and affordable
• I have to check a bus timetable before I leave home
• Walking somewhere is a viable, even desirable, option (think clean and shady footpaths, and dry air so you don't get all sweaty)
• When walking, I wonder where the music, flowers, street food, and all the other people are
• There's a TV, and all the shows are in English
• I can't find any Chinese pop music on the radio
  
• None of my friends live in the same building (or even within walking distance!)
