Growing realisation

Nov 02, 2013 18:01

I've been pushing myself into the Australia experience, finding jobs, trying to get on with people etc.  Every time I think of Taiwan though, I think with longing, thinking only how much better stuff was there.  Food is cheaper and tastier, there's more to do, I could practice chinese, explore, and I had a few good friends.

As I've stayed in Australia, this feeling has only grown.  Just now, I thought of just going back to Taiwan and had a terrible urge to just go back. I've thought about this before, and I just said I'll head over east, see how things go there, and if I still don't like it I can still go back to Taiwan.  It's not like it's going to disappear, I can always go back there (unless war breaks out or something).  However, I also think if I'm longing to go back this much I should just go.

I've applied to a few jobs and WWOOFing places in Melbourne, and I still need to visit my friend Jack in Tasmania though.  I think I'm going to keep going, do some fun stuff now I've got a decent pot of savings.  That'll be better - I haven't done much holidaying or touring in Australia yet, and I might find that more fun than trying to deal with the working culture here.  I certainly don't regret everything I've done in Aus so far though.
