Sunday 1st April (Day 31)
I live in a
house full of people from different nationalities, from the top of my head the
nationalities of the people in this house include English, Irish, French,
Spanish, Dutch, Canadian, Kiwi (New Zealand), Japanese, Chinese and Indonesian. Everybody in this house is a traveller like
me who have come from their home country to take some time out to see the world,
and like most travellers plan to return to their home country.
I have only
been in this house for nearly a month and already one person has moved out and another
3 people have mentioned that they will be leaving soon this week, which is a
shame. I like everyone in the house and
I have made some good friends here. So
it is a bit sad to think that the people I get to know well and have a good
laugh with will be leaving on a fairly regular basis. I am sure that the new people who come into
the house to replace the people who have left will be nice but, I like the
people here at the moment.
Another
thought is that most people stay in this house for less than a year so when I
look to the start of 2013 or even earlier there is a good chance that everyone
who I currently share the house with would have left and moved on by then. I may well end up being “that guy who has
stayed in the house the longest” compared to everyone else staying in the house
at the time, and that is not really a title I want.
Soon people
will be leaving me behind, and then I myself will be leaving people behind. My year in Sydney will be filled with as many
goodbyes as hellos.
Oh well, I
guess it is better to have met people and to see them leave than to never have
met them at all.
