Melbourne was lovely, really. It has almost all of the features of our imagined "perfect town": public transport is reliable, there is lots of green space, people are friendly, there's a lively local music scene, it's near the beach and the mountains so one could go snorkeling and skiing, they have trivia nights at bars, shopping is good...... Almost perfect really.
I was more than a bit sad to be returning to Singapore, but when we got here we had a very unexpected surprise in the mail; our Oz permanent residency visas have been approved, and we can move whenever we're ready. Wow.
