[QUOTE=surfin' on a rocket;15055551]where in Australia?[/QUOTE]

Victoria, Melbourne. Going to stay with my uncle for 3 weeks. Just quit work a couple of weeks ago and I was basically burnt out, was told by doctors to chill for a while before going into full time work again.

I've had a couple of weeks at home and seeing friends and I'm off to Australia to recuperate. I still don't know what I want to do as a career so I'm just taking time off to chill and seriously think about what I want to do as I'm not very confident and I think I'd find it hard to progress in certain fields at managerial level.

Sounds cool, Melbourne is a pretty nice place.

So I've heard. Apparently it's quite cold over there now as it's winter, colder than most tourists imagine so my uncle informs me but I can't imagine it would be worse than the winters here in the UK.

I'm packing for all weathers anyways. :p

It is rather cold, yes, but things are going to be warming up since we're 2/3 of the way through winter. Though Melbourne will probably be rather cold for a while, since it's in the south.

Ah d[I]a[/I]mn I was looking forward to the nice warmish weather we've been having over in the UK the last few days. I'm going for 3 weeks so hopefully it will warm up while I'm there.

It's been ridiculously warm here lately, but that's Queensland and a lot different from Melbourne. Melbourne rules so much though, it's my favourite city in Australia for sure. Try and get to some shows, there's a lot of good stuff on in Australia this month.

Melbourne is a great place to go for a holiday if you wanna check out cool culture and whatnot, but I don't think I would like living there. Sydney ftw.

Self promotion++

does everyone not in America drive Mini Coopers?

everyone in europe drives tiny lil cars with standard transmissions. the gas mileage must be great, too bad they dont have long distances to drive :-/

Maybe if you drive from one country to the next.

I hate how everyone in my town drives giant trucks.

they don't need them and it's not like our air isn't polluted enough already.

People around here get trucks just to look cool. No practical purpose whatsoever.

Yeah. I know someone who lives by himself and owns a Hummer. Why?

To hide his loneliness. .-.

I ride a bicycle. ^--^

I walk and barely eat.

STUDENT LIFESTYLE WEIGHT LOSS FTW.

I have a car but mostly ride my bike and the bus.

Today is my birthday

Happy birthday. :)

Have some rep.

Happy birthday.

Hb.

gas is super expensive there though.

Yeah, isn't petrol supposed to be like $12USD per gallon?

If I had the ability to change things in the US, I'd set the gas prices really high so that people used more public transport.

Walking ftw. I don't really enjoy driving that much so I walk as often as I can.

I just stay at home. Problem solved.

I don't have my driver's license. I have a bicycle.

I used to walk everywhere before I could drive. Now I can drive and I hardly walk anymore, its really sad. It's made me so much lazier. I'm gonna resolve to walk more. Thanks guys!

Edit: I used to ride a lot as well, but my bike got stolen out my garage, and it was a nice one :(. Cost me about AUD$1000)

I walk everywhere.

This.

Or walk, and occasionally bus.

And when I come home from college for weekends or something I will take the train.

dei are you not from the US originally? you use a lot of non-American words and phrases.

[QUOTE=Splat Out Plath;15059172]It's no more than $6 anywhere I can think of. It's more heavily taxed and is more capital-intensive to import than in the US.[/QUOTE]

in spain you also see less non-commercial vehicles on the highways

For some reason I started spelling words the British English way. Phrases? I don't know what you're talking about. But no, I was born and raised in the US.

It's probs cuz I am bad at English.

good at English, bad at American

That's probably true. I don't know, man. Americans are so fat and lame and stupid and dumb and obese and all that summat. I've wanted to leave for a long time but I can't come up with a better reason than "America sux, lol."

best reason in the world to leave
