the aussie definition of culture:
Instead of Shakespeare the Aussies have sunshine. In place of Beethoven, there are beaches.
by a sheila who tells it as it is to brit's wanting to re-settle down under.

sorry to hear that your visit to Vietnam wasn't delightful. none of the Asian countries ever make me go, "yeah, i should go visit these places someday...". even when alot of idiots around ere go ape at the mere mention of bali. and thailand. like as if there ain't any beach ere to barbecue emselves.
I think NZ looks beautiful (at least in the glossies). Another place I have no desire to go to is Japan. Been in an airport there several times, and that's as much as I want to see. Went to Vietnam for three weeks. That was a very long three weeks.

as blahed by the letter b @ August 18, 2005 10:38 AMYou know? I have really never dreamt of going to Australia. Really doesn't appeal to me one way or another. I would like to go to New Zealand someday.
