so i made a top 10 list of why i love it here in Perth!
1. i walk everywhere and everything is within walking distance. 10 minutes away from the train station, 10 minutes from the grocery store and coffee shops and 15 minutes away from the river!
2. its beautiful. everywhere i go i get to enjoy the beauty of this place.
3. its winter! well, its sweater weather. i love these winters bc its not hot and its not too cold either...pretty perfect for me!
4. i love the people i live with! i live with girls from all around the world..actually mostly americans. kellie from alabama, lisa from michigan, anna from montana, susannah from new york, nadine from canada, miriam from france, and petra from the netherlands. i like to get the mixture of personalities, culture, character, and food~!
5. i live close to the city and love the different people i meet there.
6. coffee shops. they are a bit more different than back home but rather more stylish and trendy. they try to stay away from chains, so its definetely personal and hip!
7. its clean! one of the cleanest cities! you can tell the city cares about the people that live here. you go to a park and they have everything set up for you, a barbecue that all you have to do is hit a button and it turns on, wooden tables..they pretty much make everything beautiful.
8. i live between 3 parks! one large park that i go running at. a hidden park with many trees, and a park i walk through every day to work.
9. transportation. free buses, free train, i have a bike that works perfect that i found by a dumpster and feel like im saving alot of energy for the environment when i ride it, instead of driving a car (not that its bad to drive a car, but alot cheaper to ride a bike!)
10.fashion. they are very fashionable here, and it helps me to think about what i put on each day and feel great :)
