Australia!

HI Everyone

Am in Sydney finally. And getting into the groove of life abroad. No worrying about water, hot and cold, electricity, gas, broadband...
This is genteel suburbia with broad roads, nice looking houses, quiet and peace, pavements, treelined streets, supermarkets all around within walking distance, bus station, railway station.. library closeby.
This is an ethnic neighbourhood and I myself am a little tired of seeing Indian faces.. not that they acknowledge you in any way.
The variety in the supermarkets is a little stunning and disconcerting. Too much of choice.
Prices are oh my.. I have to learn to think in dollars and not in rupees.
China is a great leveller in making the world flat and a little smaller.Most things are made there and seem to be sold cheaper in India.

The new vehicle here is the pram// everywhere and used in doubles/triples and as a shopping basket. Advaith being indian born refuses to sit in it for more than 15 min... but we are slowly getting better.

Days are long too with the sun setting at 8 p.m. really can't keep time with the sun.

ah yes the desserts.. enjoying them and the chocs..
pics sometime
