A nice place. Not too big, not too small. Not much traffic jams. The pace of life I like.
Good public transport. From Glenelg to the city, it is a nice 15 minute tram ride. There is a free bus service within the city.
Three universities. Plenty of foreign students.
Art gallery and museum, if you are into such things.
A nice produce market right in the city. Great for foodies.
A casino too, if you have luck on your side.
Barossa Valley, Clare Valley and McClaren Vale. Reds and whites.
Weather – clear skies. Minimum 10. Maximum 22. I can’t complain.
As for Glenelg, it is the seaside suburb of Adelaide. The distinct landmarks – a beach stretching for miles, a long jetty that sticks out for 80 metres, a tram line running between busy shops, and the imposing Stamford Grand Hotel facing the sea.
In summer, you can get crabs (blue swimmers) from the jetty. A sign says that the catch has to be limited to 40 crabs per person. Lucky Adelaide people.
What I am going to do this morning? Take a lift down to the street
Turn left? Or right? Just the kind of decisions that I will have to wrestle with for the next 6 days.

Very well written indeed. It's like a Chinese painting,which doesn't focus on reproducing the look-alike image, but to give a few stokes to capture the mood and atmosphere. To that extent, this posting captures on paper the city of Adelaide.
