First of all, Congrats!
Secondly...I just saw this. First of all, Congrats!<br /><br />Secondly, please don't let people detract you about Sydney. I happened to stay there for 2 years and it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E<br /><br />I am not kidding - its my favourite place in the world, and let me bust a few myths for you:<br /><br />1) It is extremely lively and buzzing. I just cannot understand how anyone could call it boring and dead<br /><br />2) Aussies are generally very nice and friendly people. They are not rude/snobbish as popular belief has it<br /><br />3) Its not a racist country. In my 2 years, I never came across a single instance of racism. Most of that is limited to universities, and (if I may say so at the risk of sounding unpatriotic) brought largely by Indian students upon themselves.<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, but you are going to absolutely love it.

I shall never understand this duality like the thousand others that mark India.<br />At the same time I know deep down, I cannot leave this place and go to other country for anything more than a short trip.

You will find lots of Indians (read Gujarati) in Sydney, infact max Indians are there only.
