The Good Stuff

I've now got two weeks left in Australia before heading off. My days are becoming awfully busy trying to finish up at work, pack and organise my move down to Melbourne, organise myself for the big move to China and of course fitting in many a catch up and goodbye. But I've also been thinking about how to make the most of the things in my life in Australia that I'll be deprived of while in China for a year. An extra dose of the aussie lifestyle, if you will. Family and friends excepted, (a given), these are the things I'll miss, and have been filling up on in preparation for my move to China:

1. Cheese
The chinese are not big on cheese, and although i've been told i'll be able to find it at some foreign shops in Beijing, it will be expensive, so will definitely be an "occasional" food - a treat.

2. Coffee
I don't feel like i can really get my fill of good coffee while still in Canberra... but will be going all out during my week in Melbourne immediately prior to my departure, rest assured! Although there's not much (good) coffee in china, I'm sure I'll be enjoying all sorts of chinese teas.

3. Brunches
I doubt I'll be finding any good eggs benny in China... Fortunately with my numerous goodbye catchups there's plenty of opportunity to go all out :)

4. Puppies
More specifically - Matilda and Lola... will definitely miss them while I'm gone!

5. Fresh air, blue sky and sunshine
There's not much of either of these in Beijing I'm told. In preparation for being engulfed in a dense cloud of pollution for a year, I've been apreciating every sunny day, every blue sky and even considering bottling some of the crisp canberra morning air.

Is there anything I'm forgetting? Or any suggestions for what else I should be doing/appreciating in my remaining 2 weeks?
