ang gusto ko dito kkonti ang tao dahil ayoko sa crowd.. ang hnd lang masyadong okay, madaming katutubo.. mainly because may problema kc sila sa hygiene..
pagdating mo sa december, halos kauumpisa lang ng wet season nun.. malakas ang ulan dito, hnd lang shower, buhos!
mejo mainit din sa darwin, siguro a little bit hotter than temp ng sg.. sa dry season lang mejo nagging normal ang temp, around 24C average ata during months of May & June.. then back to hellish temp nmn ulit for the rest of the year..
ang alam ko, highest cost-of-living dito (in comparison with all other capital cities).. 2nd highest naman for rent (next to sydney)..
simple lang ang buhay dito, relatively rural (in comparison with all other capital cities).. reminds me of sorsogon, with lesser people and lesser pollution..
but of course, these are just my general observations of the place and opinion after staying here for almost 2 years pa lang..
