Ventured out to Perth city today with my friends, taking the bus. Everything feels so different from home, esp the bus service, where back home you had to cramp youself in to get a space, hoping that you can get off in time. But here, its so relaxing to travel by bus! The city is also an amazing place. All shopping areas are located in sort of alleyway's (not in the true sense of the word), with shops lined up one after the other. But it is really different from the hustle bustle markets back in India.
And its really amazing to see movie theatres without a crowd. I still remember back home, everytime a movie was on the plan with friends we got there hours early hoping to get a ticket!! Another distinct difference that gets your attention is that unlike India, where every possible space and rooftop has been mounted with a billboard, there are absolutely none of them here. You can actually look at the sky without having Shahrukh Khan convincing you to get an Airtel Prepaid!! Lol...you get the picture right??
But I guess I'll have to stop comparing stuff with home, cuz after all this ain't home. I mean, what do these people know the joys of standing on the roadside, avoiding potholes and enjoying 'pani-puri' with friends!!! But then again, even though it was a sunday, all restraunts were closing down at 3pm and the entire place was nearly deserted by 5:30 when we got back to the Uni.
But I think i'm starting to like this place after all....Till next time...Ciao...
