    Sydney

    Getting used to a thing or place is probably the thing I fear the most. Luckily I will be leaving here soon, otherwise I will be too lazy to move around again if stay here another year or two. will probably just end up living here enjoying the finest weather, beaches, waterfronts and harbours.

    I finally get to love Sydney, leaving at this moment, I guess, is the best, leave myself a little regret...not too much, not too little, just right there makes me want this city.

    Sydney was once the world's most picturesque penal colony. But successive generations replaced brutality with a famously relaxed attitude. Sydneysiders, as people here like to be called, are most commonly described as "easygoing", in the same way that New Yorkers are "brash", Parisians are "arrogant" and Romans are "mad". Started to enjoy being part of Sydneysiders, like to be called mate; like to wear T-shirt, shorts and walk in the street bare foot; like to just grab a coffee,sitting in a corner of Cafe, the hyde park or just some quiet places, doing some reading for a morning; like to lay on some lawns in sunshine taking a nap. like to sit on roof counting stars...

    Sydney never gives people much feeling of history. It makes sense given its humble little over 200 years history since Captain Cook first landed on the Rocks. Another important reason is its sunny weather most of years. Most people go out often enjoying the finest beaches and waterfronts and natural environment. Nobody stays home making those so called "arts" and "history". No wander even Melbourne, which was discovered much later, seems have been through much more than Sydney, not to mention those historical cities in Europeasia continent. When it comes to culture, Sydneysiders would love to talk about the great "beach cultures" and its best of big-city living within a superb natural environment. Sydney provides the best harmony between human beings and nature. The lifestyle here is relaxing, people tend to talk slow, walk slow. haha...but it's all good for me. Glad I chose Sydney as my second home.

    Anyway...have to get going very soon...to those so called "no pain, no gain" places. I hope you and I are well, for god's sake...
