Perth is exactly the way I remembered - its summer is still hot and dry; its sky is still blue with little cotton-like clouds; its border-less grassland is golden in colour, just like the colour of the sun in the dry season; wild parrots can still be seen in the parks, chirping noisily like a group of happy schoolgirls; the annoying seagulls still linger near waterside, waiting for people to drop food, people still sunbath under the hot sun despite the burning heat...... yes.. nothing much has changed.. Perth is still a calm and peaceful city. It's just the way I remembered.....
Perth city is beautiful, especially at night, when u watch it from across the river. That night, Jane and I did that. We sat on the riverside, enjoying the night view from the other side of the river. It is is indeed very beautiful. The reflection of the colourful lights in the calm water really relaxed our minds and souls.
This incredible view reminded me of an unforgettable moment I witnessed in Perth many years ago. This has been in my memory for more than 10 years and despite the long period of time, it is still fresh in my mind. My feeling that night, more than 10 years ago was exactly the same as the feeling I had in my last trip - calm and relaxed....
I remember cycling downhill towards swan lake one cool night. It was just like any other night - me on my way home after delivering paper around the neighbourhood. That night, I was captivated by the big round moon right in front of me. What made it even more beautiful is the reflection of the moonlight in the calm lake. The view was breathtaking. People often said 'the moon in the foreign land is rounder'. It's true... It's is not only rounder but also bigger and brighter.....
