I'm originally from Perth, so I feel your pain with the high prices and 4-5 hours to any major city. I now live in the U.S. and find travel to the UK etc a bit easier, but still expensive for me.Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09356143125615446457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-32598615119182517392008-07-31T16:43:00.000+03:002008-07-31T16:43:00.000+03:00just returned (24 hours ago) to melbourne after 18 months working in istanbul and london.... grimacing at the thought of holidaying again at phillip island after taking overnight buses to greece and cheap flights to germany. read your reverse culture shock post and it made me feel.... not exactly better but at least understood :)joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15066477884843937210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-89053714688582033692008-07-10T11:50:00.000+03:002008-07-10T11:50:00.000+03:00Yep, "cheap" flights are already not that cheap, compared to Europe - and there are definitely signs that they are going to get even less cheap. Especially from isolated ol' Perth, where I live ...Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178108297108834609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-34551723687537746492008-07-09T13:47:00.000+03:002008-07-09T13:47:00.000+03:00i guess fuel price increases will hurt you guys in OZMajorcawww.majorcaholidays.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-14515305782830555622008-07-08T06:39:00.000+03:002008-07-08T06:39:00.000+03:00How cute, I had no idea that counting the sleeps was a British thing. When we were kids we always counted the sleeps until Christmas. Coz if you count the days, how do you decide if the first and last days count or not? Sleeps is much more accurate :-)Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178108297108834609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-14205916469933327292008-07-07T23:03:00.000+03:002008-07-07T23:03:00.000+03:00I love how commonwealth folk say "sleeps" "This is 10 sleeps away!!" whereas Americans say days.....I'd love to go to berlin but sadly a trip to berlin is so far away i couldn't count the sleeps!Nomadic Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03302659356530720178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-81664253610724199222008-07-07T08:17:00.000+03:002008-07-07T08:17:00.000+03:00Melbourne makes for a pretty decent city break too I think ... but if I had a fairy godmother I'd definitely take Berlin. 10 sleeps is really soon!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178108297108834609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-17130454252070383032008-07-07T07:46:00.000+03:002008-07-07T07:46:00.000+03:00It's not quite Berlin, but we have Melbourne in 10 sleeps instead! xkatrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945111764974903732noreply@blogger.com
