I really like Europe, so much so that since I have left Australia I don't really miss a thing about it, well except for the food. Most people I come across invariably ask me at some point in the conversation "so, when are you planning on going back home?". Ofcourse this presuposes that I have a place I consider "home", and after adding up how many times I have moved in my life (34 at last count) it isn't suprising to note that I don't really have a place I consider home. Still, I get some weird looks when I explain that I have no intentions of going back to Australia, everyone in London thinks that Australia is the best place in the world to live, maybe it is, but not for me. Instead I prefer the cold, dark days of Northern Europe and believe me that is precisely what the weather is like right now.
Its hard to get used to, in Sydney it gets darker in Winter then Summer (obviously) but nothing like Northern Europe. Even here in London by the middle of Winter the sun doesn't come up until 9am ish and then its dark again by 4pm, not just the sun has gone down, but DARK. I love it :)
