I'm now back home. Sydney home that is! Now that I'm set up in Sydney for long-term living, it feels comfortable enough for me to call home.
Going back to Perth seemed like staying at a friend or relative's place. Although I was still sleeping in the same room with all my old crap there, I didn't have all my day to day stuff like my electric toothbrush, as they were all in Sydney. I also hadn't brought any clothes or towels with me, so I was wearing all different clothes to what I had been for the past two months.
In fact, when I got back into Sydney on Monday morning, walking into the apartment felt like home again.
It's very strange, now that home (Perth) doesn't really feel like home anymore. Now I know how all you travellers and overseas people feel like.
