So true!
But dude, you are in PERTH - the most isolated city in the world. Sydney and Melbourne are far less like that, especially now the dollar is high and we are starting to get better cultural acts visiting.
And I think many Australians have seen as much of Europe as most Europeans - if not more.
I hate that when I was in NYC, every night had a band or play or comedian that I wanted to see, but I wonder if Sydney is worse than, say, Buttfuck Iowa.
- usaar333 15y agoI'm pretty sure Honolulu takes the spot for most isolated large city. Perth is a mere few days drive from some large cities (Adelaide). In Honolulu you are stuck on an island 2300 miles from the mainland.
- brc 15y agoFlight time from Honolulu to LA is less than the flight time from Melbourne to Perth. Perth is the most geographically isolated city in the world.
- rdouble 15y agoIt's an hour longer from Honolulu to LA (or vice versa) than from Melbourne to Perth. The flight from Perth to Melbourne is only 3 hours and 30 minutes, less than flying from LA to Chicago.
- brc 15y agoMelbourne-Perth flights are routinely > 4 hours Sydney-Perth flights are routinely > 5 hours Hawaii - LA flight times are routinely > 5 1/2 hours I was wrong.
- usaar333 15y agoOut of curiosity, why are you comparing Perth to Melbourne rather than the closer Adelaide? Flights are 3 hours going east and 3:20 going west between those cities.
