My family and I had a chance to live in Australia, but we decided to come to Canada instead. Do you think Australia is better than Canada or are they about the same?
i actually have...people do carry them around!! but seeing as how this is a very clean country...there are NO GARBAGE BINS ANYWHERE! they are so few and far between its amazing that this country is so well maintained. however...every morning there are guys that clean the streets...and do a pretty good job of it!
I should move to Australia. A clean country is my dream country. That will never happen here, with all these damn immigrants!
My friend stayed in Australia for a few months a couple years ago. He said they are environmentally conscious there, so much that throwing your cigarette butts on the ground is really frowned upon. They have those little plastic film canisters that you carry around ashing out in. @Bonita: Have you seen anything like that? btw, i love that idea of a #1 flush and #2 flush

I took off to Europe last year and I nearly hyperventilated at the idea of leaving Loquito for so long. So on that note, if El Pibe and Loquito don't come with me, I ain't goin' NOWHERE!!!!!

the food???? everything tastes wierd....like they are trying to imitate back home. i had a traditional sandwich called a "kransky"-basically a sausage with either chees and/or sour crout
one thing here is that everything comes with beets....even mc donalds burgers!!!
i dont have cable...and probably wont because its way toooooo expensive...but ill get my mama to tape them for me!!!
clubs are weird...everyone here dances the whiteman dance with the overbite and all!!! mind you i havent been out too much as of yet...
ummmm people here dress kinda like we do but the girls like to wear leggings under their shirts and some sort of a belt right under their boobs...kinda like an empire waist
guys are very fashionable...lots of suit jackets!!! that means $$$$$$!!!! but it depends on where you go....surfers wear lots of billabong clothes and quicksilver is huge here.
still havent found a place to live yet but im trying....everything is soooo expensive!!!!!!
So to make LAB's response shorter, what you reckon means "What do you think?" or "What's your opinion?" Like I've said countless times, I'm so envious!!! I wanna go to Australia now!!!!!!!
So GO! LOL
Drop everything and go travel......
