It really is like living in a different country. I think about going to Perth and even though it's only around 5 hours with stops, it seems like such a hassle, you know?! There are drawbacks--food's more expensive, and I'm yet to make it to the farmers' market, even then, it's quite expensive apparently. But the IGA does do a lot of local stuff and that's actually better quality and cheaper than the Big 2, so I try to shop around.

Haha, I follow The Worst of Perth on Wordpress :) The poems in the comments were amusing, too. Honestly. That woman should just stick to criticising the working population of Australia for not wanting to work for $2 per hour, and leave the poetry to... oh, I don't know. People who can actually write poetry?!
