After living and growing up on the Eastern seaboard of Terra Australis for a while, then moving onto the Eastern seaboard of the Land of the Rising Sun, I’ve landed in Melbourne town, on the south Eastern seaboard once more.
Just on 10 years in the land directly north of here and on similar latitude – though a it was a North one. There has been a little bit of a reverse culture shock occurring, though less and less as the days and months pass. It was really strange landing back in a place that I was familiar with – everything was familiar but in the same step it was all not familiar. People appeared different. I wasn’t sure it I had this vision in my head from the country I left ten years before, and had not set foot on for over four years. Surreal would begin to describe the experience.
