Guest tim_the_taf Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 We moved back from Perth in December, thinking we'd be back in Perth within a month. I've since been back 3 times with work, and we've been back for a holiday. Amazed to discover we prefer living in the UK and visiting Oz on a regular basis, than living in Oz. Lots more to do in the UK; supermarkets are a lot better; TV; theatres/ shows; booze is a lot cheaper (and better); proper football; things generally work, and you're not made to feel like a second class citizen. Not so good - weather; overcrowding; crazy traffic; the economy and the government ! Anyone else prefer being back ???? And if so why ?:spinny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not there yet, still stuck in Perth but hopefully I'll feel the same as you after 8 months as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Perth Princess Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I love Perth but I'm missing all the things you mention. Ideally I would like to spend my time between the two but I'd need to win the lottery for that! We have struggled to cope with the major life change so don't feel I can really make an objective comparrison between the two places yet. I'm hoping that we will enjoy our next 12 months here now we are coming to terms with the trauma of getting here! After that we will decide where we want to be:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tim_the_taf Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'd split my time between the two as well, pity someone can't move Oz nearer to the UK ! On balance though, UK's where I prefer to live, which means I can enjoy Oz on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
