Going to the beach at Christmas, AC/DC, "Romper Stomper", people who are fun to meet elsewhere in the world. Now I think of bad puns, too. Nestor

Minn...Q-
Are you telling me you didn't mean this:
So what pops into people's mind when they hear the word Australia? -->Kangaroos<-- in the backyard? -->I sure hop not.<--
If you didn't, then I'll change what I wrote. Now when I think of Australians, I think of unintentional puns.
PS-That's a conversation about fishing.

ops.*sweat *** Um..forgot an 'e' on the end of 'hope'........*** well what can I say...we all make mistakes sometimes......right?
Well Australia to me, is a huge cauldron of different cultrures. It's really great to walk down the street and see so many different kinds of people...it makes things so interesting. Around 2/3 of my school is bilingual and I like the peacefulness that exists be

Kangaroos in the back yard? Sure! Not metro areas of course, but not so uncommon in rural areas (snakes, possums and drop-bears too).
David, please say G'day to the computer guy for me. Ask him about the drop-bear problem in Australia - oh, and the Yowies (two of Australia's lesser known marsupials)!

Australlians?...ummm... I don't know much about them (I'm not experienced enough). But I have some Australian friends. They're nice to me of course. They send me many gifts with the image of Kangaroos, very nice.
I love Australia indeed. If I can, I'll get a scholarship to study in this country. And maybe I'll get married with an Australian guy when I grow up (hehehe).
