So, you may remember me talking about 'The Village' in my earlier post. The Village if you've never seen it, or would like a quick reminder, is cult movie that was originally made in the 1960s and recently re-made and aired. Anyway, it's about a place called 'The Village' where everything is harmonious and people are lovely to each other. However, the catch is - no-one can get out of The Village.
Now, I'm talking about The Village, because that's how I think Perth is like. It's a really nice place, lovely weather (when it's not cold and wet); by the sea (which also also where the The Village is located incidentally), people are generally nice (also just like The Village) - do you see where I'm leading to next? Ok - we seem to be stuck - we can't get out!
Perth, as you may already know, is the most remote city in the world. Well, we were fully aware of this before coming over. However, it is so remote, it has it's own way of doing things. Take day-light saving hours for example - whislt the rest of Australia has signed up to this - Perth (or Western Australia) has their own time zone.
Flights for coming back to the UK - whilst this would cost about £800 for a return from London to Perth - it almost works out to be twice as much to get from Perth to London!
Ah - and it wasn't until recently until the freeways were built, the most popular holiday destination for locals was to Rottnest Island which is half an hour's drive away!
So, you see the resembalance to The Village?..
