disillusionment

Docklands, Melbourne
Australia
59° F (15° C)

Perhaps it's the perpetual sleep deprivation or the dreary winter days, but I can't shake this sense of disillusionment.

Many years ago, I had wondered if I would ever see the "land down under"... where kangaroos roam and koalas nibble on eucalyptus. I was under the impression Australia was a country full of friendly and laid-back individuals that love the outdoors. Well... after being given the finger, enduring a good three months of howling drunks, and experiencing some ill treatment (racially biased), I can safely say the illusions of cheerful and carefree land is nowhere to be found.

I seem to have mentally compiled a long list of reasons why I am quite literally counting down to the day of my departure.

I have to say, it may be a great country for many... but it's just not the place for me.... so I must soldier on... to another country.

25 days and counting...
