I realized today that it has been two years since we have moved to Australia. Wow, how time flies!
To tell you the truth, I feel like I've lived here forever. Australia really suits me. I love the active lifestyle, the global outlook, and the most of all - the beautiful scenery.
There are still a few things that I have not gotten used to. For example, Australians have a big focus on buying Australian-made products. Personally, I don't give a hoot where it was made, as long as it meets my value-for-money criteria. Another local phenomenon that I don't think I want to get used to is lack of proper heating and insulation in houses. Newer houses are not too bad, but they have a lot of old houses and apartments that were designed for a climate from 50 years ago.
Overall, living here is definitely a positive experience and I am glad that we have made the decision to move here. It was not easy, and is still not as easy as it could be, but I see it getting much easier once we get our permanent residence visa.
