My Big Move - Part II

So I moved, I moved from Sydney to the Gold Coast.Quite a move.SO I never really liked Australia to begin with and I always compared Sydney to Johannesburg , now I find myself comparing Sydney to the Gold Coast.I thought it would be more becoming -Gold Coast that is..but shocker of shocks..i actually miss Sydney.I cannot believe that.Did Australia grow on me ?Like a fungi?How we never really appreciate what we have until we leave it all behind - as cliche as that is.. this remains the truth.So what do I feel about this place..well lets just say that I feel like I immigrated all over again and I left Australia, question is ..maybe this really is Australia and I wasn't really living in Australia before?Anyway so far,being the first week here I feel like I stepped back into the eighties and I'm a bit dazed and confused and maybe in denial of where I actually am.I had to look twice to find these unusual looking people with mullet hairstyles covered in Tattoos plus a mini mullet walking alongside their parents.My Definition of a Mullet Hairstyle in the Gold Coast is as follows : An Afro at the top with a piece resembling a pony tale hanging out from the bottom.So I like to pretend I'm somewhere else, especially when I look at this beautiful apartment and realise I am so lucky to be living in it but I wonder will this ever truly feel like home?Is this just a big culture shock?Am I the one who is strange?Did I just get a big wake up call and realise Sydney actually became home only to overtake my forever loving Johannesburg in South Africa..hmm I'm not sure ..watch this space as the drama continues..
