perth holiday

4 trips in 4 months after, i am finally enjoying my days resting, doing almost nothing in laid back perth. 2 days of work and 5 days holiday, not bad for a change. i am enjoying evey bit of it before i head back to the crazy schedules back home. clients are already calling, chasing deliveries, deadlines, etc, etc, etc...

the stay here is good. its not as laid back or slow as i expected it to be. i love the swan river, i just love water- there is so much life where the river flows. the city isn't really all that developed. thats probably good since there is so much potential with what the WA government can do.

a $3 million house with a river view, that is just not possible in singapore. on a more down-to-earth side, a house for $300k just unheard of back home. how about this- a ferrari for $300k? you can buy 3 here for the price you pay back home. ha. a hyundai getz for $18k, you can't even get a van with that kind of money.

its one thing to be holiday and another to be living in this city. its one lovely town to be in. perhaps i might live here someday.

retirement maybe? hahaha

why the heck do u think i keep going back to perth huh? :)

and to think i've so many singaporeans from melbourne telling me perth is a dead town. its so not. it's got all these great little treasures which people don't bother finding out.

i have to say, i am very well rested. very happy. there seem to be alot of potential, and as how teachers always put it- there is room for improvement- room: that is one thing perth has plenty.
