It is a difficult question and do think that i will present a different answer just before going back home. However, i think that living in Amsterdam has become a character-building experience such as living independently, taking responsibilities and illustrating a clearer picture of my life after the conclusion of living in Amsterdam.
Whether i am still nostalgic about Sydney’s lifestyle can only be briefly explained. I do miss the weather such as the moderate climate and plentiful sunshine. Although over the last few months Sydney didn’t have the usual humid sun-stroke climate like in typical summer season. Since i have been independent for several years, i don’t feel the necessity of being with family under the same roof. As a young adult, it is of a life-dreamt mission to be self-reliant and have stability in what i do instead of having my strings pulled like puppet dolls.
I find it rewarding to be away from the usual lifestyle i am use to. Being stuck in traffic or trying to fend off rush hour congestion to and from uni campus…then taking lone strides in a very wide and less-densed city such as Sydney. Sydney is in itself quite a financially conservative city where everything is about trend and commence and less on abstract ideas and expressionist cultures such as philosophy, design and movement.
I live off in being efficient. I live off being living in predictable atmosphere where every tasks doesn’t involve rolling dices like a Russian Roulette.
This topic will be revisited later as i gather thought…
