I get the impression that some would like to hear more good things about my time here. Okay, ten things that are good, no cheating (and enjoy the video).
1) I love that I can get cheap "fast-food" vegetarian sushi rolls, with little flowers of wasabi and little fish-shaped containers of soy sauce.
2) Public transportation is awesome. Trams, trains and buses take me everywhere.
3) I'm also walking, a lot, and glad. While at a wedding last spring, I was complaining about having to wear heels. A friend, who had just recovered from chemo, told me to never complain about having to stand, or walk, cause you never know how great standing and walking are until you can't. So I don't, complain, about walking. It's awesome.
4) Every morning, I get to walk by a beautiful view of the Yarra River, the Melbourne Arts Centre, and the National Gallery.
5) My roommates are really great and I lucked out with an amazing place, in a cool part of town, for less than I pay in Madison.
6) Wine is cheap and good. Very good.
7) This week it rained a lot: good for the bushfire situation, good for the drought situation.
8) My piano professor and my classmates are great: fun, supportive, engaged (in what they do). It's fantastic.
9) I recently tried two new homeopathic remedies for my tendinitis that had immediate positive effects. And I love that outside of the U.S., homeopathics are suggested and supported instead of given the FDA's warnings: "Dear American consumer: You can buy this hippie flower crap if you want, but we have no medical studies funded by Proctor Gamble to prove its effectiveness. And spinach will kill you."
10) I'm so glad to be teaching classes again.

It's like someone's busted a beat that describes my life.
