Hmm a couple of more dramatic rascist incidents in australia but
tts not as ... important as the subtle undercurrent that runs
generally and yes, it's big city australia...
But..what I do love abt Australia is the large spaces, nature, the
flowers, the beaches, the al fresco dining, winding roads by the
oceans, rivers, trees... I enjoy the cool weather in spring and
autumn and winter, and eating lunch under trees.
I enjoy the emphasis on hands on knowledge, the camaraderie,
sharing and understanding I had from some of my lecturers who were
easy going, and inspiring. I enjoy the markets with heaps of fruits
and fresh goods, and crafts made by aspiring artists all often so
colourful and creative.
But I don't enjoy the part of nature that includes heaps of
spiders, (red back!) and weird caterpillars! (A big huge fuzzy pink
one fell just in front of me) And the chinese food that looks good
in the glass cabinet but manage to taste extraordinarily BAD and
expensive too. The sharks makes one a little queasy abt sea
sports... and. hmm... drinking appears to be a problem too.. err..
for those who don't drink that is.
