as you probably know by now, im quite interested in other countries

ive made my wonderful thread about what you love about your country, now i though it was time to find out what you like about OTHER countries!

id like to know what people like about australia as i live here, and ive learned from kmc that people all over the world love it! and i wanna know why droolio

I like other countries simply because they're different from the US. I can't wait to go travel somewhere else

is it true that in the us you can get ANYTHING delivered? like soup?

Getting mauled by wombats.

one thing i love about aussie is that theres so many rumours about us and out animals

That you can fit in the sack of a Kangaroo and they'll be your tour guide? Crickey!

and that we ride them to school

oh and that we have pet koalas and we cuddle them like a baby droolio

Koalas in my opinion are like wombats. People get mauled by them. No? Then why do they have long claws? Don't give me that rubbish that they use them to climb up those thick trees in the Outback....

Not really...pizza and Chinese food is about it, really, sometimes some other things...though I dunno, maybe in other parts of the US it's different *shrugs*

my sister said you guys could get soup delivered cry

And in Australia. You guys have drive in liquour stores , and places where you can buy pie...

Well, I've never gotten soup delivered... like I said, maybe you can in other parts of the US, but as far as I know there isn't any places around Chicago that deliver soup.

um im not sure about people geting mauled by them
ive never heard about it! ive hard that wombats are fisty, i think.

its just the fact that you guys dont realise that kangaroos, coalas, wombats etc are only in the bush, mainly where we dont live, so people hardly ever see them

they better, otherwise my sisters getting a beating

They're at the zoo. Its like a car rental place. You promise the zoo keepers that you just want to take pictures without the bars.

we have drive in liquour stores? god, i wish droolio

we have places where we can buy pies yes droolio jesters!

Drive in = Drive thrus.

are you implying that australians steal cars?

i know

No... I am saying that tourists 'borrow' Kangaroos from the Zoos.

Just making sure, I've seen pictures of a friend who went to Australia. He has the proof that they have such things in Aussieland.

uh i think the kangaroo would hop away

anyway, noone WANTS to "borrow" kangaroos

i bet thats in sydney or melbourne
where did he go?

I would in a heart beat... I am sure Steve Irwin would want to borrow a Kangaroo... he sure deserves a boxin' match wit one anyways. They can't hop away too far... they are imprisioned in the cage.

why are you so negative?

Now now.... Melbourne is a pretty place. He lived in North Eastern Australia. I don't remember the exact name of the town.

Negative? I guess you do not understand Canadian humour...

i know someone who came from canada
his name was nick.


well i dont think we have drive through liquour stores in perth cry


actually i might have seen one ... in fact ... YES WE DO if im thinking of the right things WE DOO I REMEMBER WE DOO!

boy am i gonna take advantage of that droolio

So unfortunate for ya.

what is?

Ah... I posted before ya editted your post.

im too quick for you diva

You don't need to rub it in, that hurted. :'(

aw im sorry sweety cry hug

im going to get food droolio
be back in 5

I can't really say that we don't have kangaroos running around our backyard. I know a lady down the road who does... and we don't live in a national park

Alright.... I'm going to bed... back in eleven hours.

Have you pat a Kangaroo before? Are their petting zoos in Australia where you can pet one? :d

gnight anth wavey

are you serious? shocking

i guess you live in the bush then

^ Not really the bush

It's not like we only have one class from years 1-6 and you have to get sent out to high school

It is not encouraged to pet kangaroos

my cousins live in darlington ... is it sort of like that?

oh wait i guess you'd have to live in perth to know where darlington is

That's right world, we're a penal colony. A nation of exiled convicts. Fear us!

In response to an earlier post:

Yes, you can have anything delivered in America. Anything. (even soup)

^ Can you order them online?

I don't know where Darlington is. I'm from the East Coast.
I wasn't joking when I said I am not from the bush. There just happens to be kangaroos around

*looks around*
this is the place we suck up to australia?

^ Up to you

that is NOT fair cry i was sick the other day and got a craving for soup. my mum wasnt home and my sister didnt have any petrol in her car, so i said "can you get soup delivered?" and she said "in america!" so i responded
"damn americans"
and she said "you can get anything delivered in america"
cry

no it was about any country, but because i asked about australia, everyone made it mainly a thread about aussies diva

you want attention huh

not that i need it

you're such a bad actress

i gave that up years ago, dollface!

yeah, I see why

the competition put too much pressure on the other actors, so i thought id do them a favour and quit

girl, you gotta learn what the Razzie Awards mean

Why doesn't anywhere around where I live deliver soup? I really want some right now...I don't feel well...

uh yeah i do

i know cry i feel your pain!

you mean you got them all?

i mean i dont know what it means!

sure

I like Canada cuz their flag is cool and they have good skiing and they get free healthcare and they're just so cool

I really want to go to England

About roos, in Canberra we had them jumping around the streets and backyards of the suburb I was in.

And in Sydney I go to drive-in bottle shops. You still have to get of your car, it's not like McDonalds.

DAMN IT!

I like Australia for the surfers, and the whole culture that goes along with it.

It's not just "the thing to do" but it's more a way of life...and i have a lot of respect for that.

Oh, and "A dingo ate my baby"

I LOVE Australia. I adore it, completely! It's everything, the people, the beauty of the country, ffs the way they talk

Crocodile Dundee!!

You must admire the Croc Hunter *gets stomach cramps*

not really... but the way he talks makes me roll on the floor, laughing


old ugly person he is :X

I have been to many counries actually

Switzerland- is like Paradise.SO beautiful and so...perfect!it looks unreal.
Pakistan- Amazing culture.delightful people.
Iran-Friendly people.interesting country
Egypt-Wow.Just wow.
England-Such class and sophistication mixed with gothic buildings...I was gaping all day long!
Saudi Arabia-Huge highways, modest people.
United Arab Emirates-it's a HUGE shopping mall!

Really?

uhuh

And what a retard... going after a crocodile? Come on.

um new zealand is boring........

and i hav been alover the world and i love paris!!!

Paris is a tourists trap. They charge you fourteen euros for one deep fried snail.

meh....oh well i can buy all my goodies when im there lol

I see... but this is a topic on Australia.


They built a fence to keep the Dingos out? Can't they dig underneath?

*points to reply and shows misha*
see!

i wanna go to aussi or russia i dont like spain no more ive been so many times

i want to go to germany....US is just too crowded

I like that there are sharks in australia that Eat Australians and dangerous snakes, spiders and toads that kill them too.

Everyone knows the best kind of Australian is a dead one

the sharks don't mean to eat us no they just get confused.

I LOVE the UAE, we went there at the start of the year so much shopping droolio

Then confusion is good

not when there's a shark hanging off your arm

they rarely hang...

generally they just rip it right off and move onto the next bite...

I have travelled a little bit, I have been to South Africa 4 times, amsterdam once, I've been to Juarrez, Mexico... i live in the US and have travelled around here quite a bit, I've been to a few places in Canada before... seen some pretty interesting stuff.

I went to the US for the first time in August. I was in Texas for my sisters wedding. admitedly i didnt think i would enjoy myself but i had an amazing time.

Ive been to germany a couple of times and really enjoyed myself there too.

I love Texas. *sighs*

that would be me and my country diva

7 if youre pretty winkiss

no its not about australia, just people think it is because i said australia in the first post

i want you to come to aussie too naughty

HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT schmoll obviously, in your old age, you forgot that i am austraian diva

No, I did not

im very ashamed and hurt grandpa nono

Us, of course... even though our current Prime Minister is part of The Evil Trio.

::Evil Cackle::

Will do, Misha.... eventually

Hello everyone!! Well, I don't exactly love Australia (I love Canada!!) but I do like it very much. My uncle goes there very often. I like it mainly because it's very well organized and surely has a LOT of things to see. Besides, I admire that even though it belonged or belongs to Britain, Australia and its people are absolutely unique in many ways. The way of speaking (I have to admit it, difficult to understand for me) for example, also animals you cannot find anywhere else and I've heard that you have your own and very particular slang!! That's very very cool!
I hope I'll be able to visit one day.

Awww thanks Hana

You're welcome.

slang? "Crickey, thats a big one!"

AHHH DIE CROC HUNTER!!!!

Every self respecting Aussie despises Steve Irwin with a passion. Let it be known that his accent is totally warped and it sounds nothing like an Aussie accent

YAY! someone that hates the baby-dangler as much as me!

For real??? It doesn't sound like an Australian accent? Well, that's a news for me! LOL It's quite difficult for me to understand what he says on TV. And now that you mention it, I've heard other Aussies and they don't sound as... exaggerated as Steve Irwin!

But why does he talk like that? confused1

Steve Irwin is just Steve Irwin... he does it to be recognised and look how well it's working...

let's see countries I like (and ofc have visited) France, Kenya, England, Scottlad, US, Egypt, Slovenia and Croatia

Wait, wait, you mean there's other countries out there besides America!? Wow, damndest thing...

like "gday"
and "blimey"

You americans have such swollen heads...

and "mate" (in the friend sense, you sickos)

i have no idea
but its really really rare to find an aussie to have an accent that strong
i know noone....elle macphersons is pretty strong

Nah, Misha, it's all for show. I don't think anyone from any country could have an accent that strong...

yeah probably

hes got an accent like when americans try to imitate us

I didn't know 'blimey' was an Aussie thing! And what is 'gday'?

G'day is short for "good day"

I see, thanks.

AUSTRALIA W007!!!

Melborn australia is the best city ever. It has so many hidden allyway bars, and cool abstract stuff. I was walking down the street when I was their, and a limo pulled up on the sidewalk, a bride and groom hoped out, ran into an ally, and came out 1 min later with lattes. then drove off.

I lived there for 6 years

But then you had to move to sydney

Blame the folks, Noodles

I love australia cause of its wonderful nature and people and aborigines and most of all for KANGAROOS.
I love kangaroos most of all animals I wish I could visit australia and also I would like to live there.
you're happy misha you're living there

We lucky folk, ain't we Misha and Levi?

Yes.
Yes we are.

Cute Kangaroos When they're not chasing you

Oh Noodles, as if you've ever been chased by a kangaroo

I haven't, but when we were on camp in year 5, someone did.
