In Melbourne, at long last!
Some random ramblings after a three-year absence ...
There's a 25-degree difference in temperature between my departure from Munich and landing in Melbourne!
The house looks the same but doesn't feel the same without the people who used to live under the same roof.
Yes, the house and the garden do feel larger with less people. No, that doesn't mean more living space per person, it only means more household chores for me (and my parents too, to be fair).
And yes, my parents have taken full advantage of my return and gone back to the habitual requests of my help for some of the simplest things like picking up something from the floor for them.
But I guess I also enjoy some advantages of this symbiotic/parasitic existence. I need not delve further into this ...
My three years in Munich have prepared me pretty well for the prices I saw at supermarkets and restaurants back in Melbourne. Otherwise it would be a great shock and horror to find that fresh produce or an innocuous fast food meal cost almost the same in both places!
However, one thing I'll have a hard time getting used to again is Melbourne's public transport. I really dread of frequently looking at my watch and counter-checking against my memorised time-tables after 18:00!
Glad to see more people picking up cycling in Melbourne, but it's still not so viable for my commute between home and work even though the distance is only about 6 km or so.
The greatest shock and horror by far was to see the sheer volume of my books and clothes. It's no joke that I can wear something new everyday for 2 to 3 months if I go through the whole wardrobe! A mass clearance is definitely in order, like my moving out from Munich last week - except without such an imminent and threatening deadline, it's going to take a long, long time ...

sagst是什麼意思?我是一個研究生,剛好研究的英文文學作品有sagst這個字,上網查了一下,卻毫無所獲..
麻煩您..
研究生
英文文學自問沒修養，sagst這字其實是德語動詞sagen第二人稱單數現在式的詞形變化，Was sagst du全句的意思是What are you saying?/What do you say?
