People speak english&#8230;I have seen that. The houses look like those I had seen in the US and in the UK&#8230;so no jaw-dropping either. Life seems so comparable to all I knew&#8230;and I had hoped to feel something special being that far away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, this changed. We were walking across the Harbour Bridge and I tried to get my directions straight, thinking that we probably are heading northbound and the opera is in our east. Always double-check your assumptions when risking to walk for quite a way in the wrong direction, I was glad I did. Since it was around 11 and bright sunshine, the sun would have to be somewhere behind me if I was heading north. I looked back. No sun. Strange! I looked right and left. No sun. (Can you imagine how strange it feels to have a blue sky and looking for the sun? \ud83d\ude09 ) And then, suddenly, I realized that on this side of the equator, the sun is in the north at lunchtime. I looked up and there it was, bright and shining. It&#8217;s probably hard to imagine, but I got goose-bumps from realizing that a fact that had been one of the most absolute in my life so far, had just changed.<\/p>\n<p>The sun, we learned, can never be north of you. Yes, it can. It doesn&#8217;t matter if life is very comparable to ours back home. Now, I&#8217;m so amazed of being on the other side of the world!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to admit that I was a little disappointed of not feeling totally amazed by being on the other side of the world.
