Default "Never going back, can't stand the place. Love Perth"

I was talking to a woman tonight. She said she had been here two years and loves Perth. She recently went back home and within "minutes of being off the plane" she knew she had done the right thing moving here and never wanted to go back. She said it was horrible - too busy, no atmosphere etc etc.

The thing is I have heard it all before, but this woman was from Sydney! It made me chuckle how many times I have heard that all said but never about another part of Australia!

PS I met Bobcat, nice bloke. Renth next then Aston Man - though I reckon he doesn't really exist
