Canberra – political capital of Australia. Huge proportion of public servants. Low unemployment rate. Highest income per capita in the country. Over-inflated housing market. Less than 400,000 people.
In fact, only one person in every 400,000 is single here – and I’m it.
This is not the place to be dating for sport. Here, there is no game. Everyone hooked up straight out of university at 22 years old and stayed that way. I recently travelled for a few months. We all know what it’s like when you travel – the opportunities for amorous encounters multiply enormously. Well in spite of having shyer and more conservative tendencies, I was saying 'Yes!' to everything only because if I am living in Canberra, on the law of probabilities, I will not be having sex until 2012.
The only single people here are undergraduate students. Undergraduate means 'not yet qualified' in more ways than one. No thanks! And they seem to only go to one dreadful venue starting with M and ending with 'Heads' - locals will know what I mean. Don’t ever go there. I went in there once when I was under-age, and even then had the presense of mind to think ‘This place is vile and I will not be back.’
Canberra isn't all bad and I will be writing a more thorough assessment of it's advantages and disadvantages later.
But above all, don’t be single in Canberra. You may find yourself starting a brain-download blog.
