The pink skies the auroras produce are homely and have been helping my homesickness to a extent

Did you know that #homesickness was once known as '#Swiss Disease'?
The word was first mentioned in 1651 & described as an #illness in 1688.
In 1710, it was claimed that music of Swiss #Alpine herdsmen & the Guggisberglied (a #folk song), led Swiss soldiers to desert. The singing of the same resulted (allegedly) in capital #punishment.
One doctor thought that the low air pressure made the Swiss sick with longing & would lead, if not returned home, to their eventual #death.

"Only so many miles one can wander before one wonders whether home is fonder."
"That's beautiful... Is that from a poem?"
"No... It's from... Well, it's from nothing really. Just a thought..."
"Well, it's a beautiful thought."
"I always felt it was a bit sad..." -
As my intro and profile point out, I don't currently live in Australia, but rather in San Francisco, California. I haven't lived in Australia since 2010.
(I've only ever lived in Canberra other than a 6 month stint in Far North Queensland, though I've been to Melbourne and Sydney many times, sometimes on extended trips, as I have family in both.)
Being here on aus social is both nice and challenging for me, as I get to keep an eye on "home" (going to rain in Canberra this weekend according to @nathanaelcbr, and I got reassured last week that the Old Canberra Inn is still awesome), but then I see things that just make me feel quite homesick. Not just pictures, but also things that remind me that... I just find Aussies in general so much nicer to deal with than Yanks. (Sorry, my lovely American family and friends - I don't mean you, of course.)
