About Australia and Norway

What am I going to miss about Australia?:
- Enjoying the hot nights outside
- That it's still hot when it rains, so getting wet is not so bad
- Swimming pools everywhere
- Australian humour
- The friendly people
- The parks in Brisbane
- That my hair dries within 30 minutes instead of two hours
- Being able to wear a summer dress every day. I love dresses!
- Vegemite (bread spread, good with cheese!)
- Though the food prices are about the same as in Norway, the take away coffee is cheap
- The sun
- The beautiful trees: figs, mangroves, boabs and these with all the red flowers in it:

What am I not going to miss about Australia?:
- Driving on the left side. As a pedestrian it makes me confused: Which way should I look before crossing the street? Or when Maria opened the front door on the right side and found out that it was the taxi driver's seat...
- Airconditioners that either don't work when they really should, or that are way too cold. I get a temperature shock every time I walk into the computer lab at the university. I always bring a hoodie, a scarf and thights for under my dress.
- Aussie-English. Slang I don't understand or people that talk too fast with an Aussie accent.
- The heat and humidity
- Putting on sunscreen because the UV-radiation is extremely high
- Packing, unpacking, packing, unpacking, packing etc...
- Dirty hostel rooms and bathrooms
- The nine hour time difference with Norway
- Ibis (birds). One morning when I slept in the park, I got pooped on! And they take your food without asking!
- The slo-o-o-o-ow and expensive Internet
- The taste of the water. Blaaghhgh
- Dollars

What have I missed about Norway?:
- Beautiful autumn colours
- Snow
- Cold, fresh air
- The language
- Enjoying advent
- Personal belongings such as my laptop, my DSLR camera and my bike
- And everything that's the opposite of what I'm not going to miss about Australia, like the good water, the currency, and not having to pack/unpack all the time

What have I not missed about Norway?:
- The rain
- That the weather and temperature changes all the time. When you wake up, you never know what the weather will be like for the rest of the day.
- Going to my jobs. It's not the jobs that are bad, it's just that I feel more free when I don't have a job that needs me for example once a week

For Norway, but most for Thomas: Will be good to see you again *MUAHH*:

I'm off to Melbourne in a few hours! Bye fans, see ya l8r:
