Not to harp on the issue but as previously mentioned the hardest part about being overseas, isn't being overseas but having the status quo torn away. I've also noticed that yearly festivities just aren't the same. It's only really become more apparent during the last couple of months. Birthday, Christmas and New year have been acknowledged but not in the same granduer and braggodacio of previous years. Which brings me to another annual get-together that left a distinct lingering feeling of dissatisfaction. January 26th 2009.
1933. For those who care that was the last time that both Chinese New Year and Australia Day crossed paths. Does anybody really care when the last time these two days coincided? Festivity wise there's probably no better combination. The food and family of CNY combined with the friends and laid back celebrations of Australia Day. Both quite obviously absent from London. Hum, think I'll either go to the temple or down to the pub...
