Which continent of australia?

This is unnatural. Nobody is this good at writing nonsense. Solo, you are giving me goose bumps.

[liontutuxx]

What?????...

Well you do have "Australia" as we know it then you have "Western Australia", and "Victoria", well that's a different story again! ....

Hey now don't knock us Victorians!! Just because ( as they say) "if you dont like the weather in Victoria ....wait five minutes !"


cheers Michael

[lorryuncori]

yeah, that's why the grass is greener down there,...because you are all trodding on ours!

Now now children.
Lets wait till June for the Australian Championships in Melbounre, where you can all sort out your differences.
For non-Aussies, don't worry. We're just one big maladjusted family.

Hi all, and thank you very much for the information. I've scribbled down all the information you have given me, and if time and transport permits it we will try to stop by and have a nice watch

Seriously, every place I've been to save southern California says the same thing.

[HondasMenFox]

Yeah....they're OK,..they can't help it, they were born that way. We should give em all a rest...

Ok, so we have now left the land "down under" after two weeks of vacation (This is written from Kuala Lumpur International Airport while waiting for our transit flight).
Unfortunately, our tight schedule did not allow any time to go watch kendo. That's what happens when you do a "japanese holiday" I guess

So, did I like Australia? yes, very much. It feels sad to go home already since there is still so much to see.

Some things I learned about Australia
" It is big. No seriously, I mean frickin' enormous! I will never again complain about distances when travelling in Sweden.
* It is extremely clean. Maybe because they seem to give you a fine if you drop any litter (at least in the cities we visited) or australians are just a very tidy people.
" You love signs. There are signs everywhere. Most of them tell you what you are not allowed to do, and how much it will cost you if you do. Some are quite silly. I mean, come on, I don't think anyone will dive in the spa or not notice that the hotel pool (which was a glorified bath tub) doesn't have a "life guard on duty".
* Even if you do love signs, the concept of once in a while putting up a sign telling you how long distance is left to a certain location while on the road seem to never have crossed the oceans.
* Everything is either extremly poisonous or have sharp teeth. Either way it will kill you!
* The people are very nice and helpful.
* Some people have strange dialects which takes a few minutes before you start to understand them.
* The weather is hot, which is a nice change since we just experienced a quite persistant winter in Sweden.

So, now it is back to the cold reality.

Some things I learned about Australia
" It is big. No seriously, I mean frickin' enormous! I will never again complain about distances when travelling in Sweden. I belive we also get more snow than Sweden, only problem is that it melts right away.
* It is extremely clean. Maybe because they seem to give you a fine if you drop any litter (at least in the cities we visited) or australians are just a very tidy people. Nope just the Australian tax dollar at work.
" You love signs. There are signs everywhere. Most of them tell you what you are not allowed to do, and how much it will cost you if you do. Some are quite silly. I mean, come on, I don't think anyone will dive in the spa or not notice that the hotel pool (which was a glorified bath tub) doesn't have a "life guard on duty". I loved it when I went to Italy a couple of year ago and all those "Be an idiot any you will hurt yourself signs were not there" (A bad habit we picked up from America I think)
* Even if you do love signs, the concept of once in a while putting up a sign telling you how long distance is left to a certain location while on the road seem to never have crossed the oceans. Did you notice when asking Australian how far away something was they would tell you how long it would take to get there rather than the distance. Eg Sydney to Canberra is about 2.5 hours by car as opposed to 300km.
* Everything is either extremly poisonous or have sharp teeth. Either way it will kill you! Beware the hop snake and drop bears.
* The people are very nice and helpful. That more because we wanted you to go away and not hang around :O
* Some people have strange dialects which takes a few minutes before you start to understand them. You weren't looking hard enough, some people in Australian can't understand (myself included)
* The weather is hot, which is a nice change since we just experienced a quite persistant winter in Sweden. Yea to global warming
So, now it is back to the cold reality. Anyway glad you enjoyed yourself.

Glad you enjoyed it! Next time go to New Zealand if you want to hear really wierd accents, even we cant figure out what "nahmah bro, gahno eah nomogeebro ahteah bro" means when we ask where the closest loo is.
