What I Miss About Melbourne

It will almost be a month since I got back from the second most livable city in the world and yet there are still moments that hit me where all of a sudden I miss the place I made my home for almost 3 months.

The Crazy Weather: Never thought I'd miss it, but here I am longing for that 4 seasons in a day type of weather, well at least the dry air and the pleasantly cold weather with sunshine.

The Food: I miss the variety of food they have down there. I miss the BBQ Corner, Manmo, Stokehouse, Cafe Vibe, Blahnik, as well as the other places I've tried out while I was there.

The People: I miss the great partnership, the unassuming demeanor of the prof, the frontliner's chit chat, the actor's attitude and personality, and the prince's cute face and accent. I even miss the people I seldom saw who resided in the same building as I did.

The Efficient Transportation System: I miss the tram. Enough said.

The Bead Shop: I unleashed the creative side I never thought I had. Besides, it was very therapeutic to just be there.

There are lots of other things that I miss about Melbourne, say the shopping and the fantastic places I have seen, the architecture among others. But I'd end this list for now lest I bore you. I also fear that I might not do it justice should I write about it today. I hope to do it some other time, when I am well.

For now, I'd just go back to sleep and I might even dream of it so I won't miss it too much.
