    I picked that up also, but figured id cut him some slack, given that he didnt come here with a question like

    "where do you all live"

    or

    "how much money do you all earn"

    or

    "what do you think of replica's"

    hahaha

    radio jock in Sydney use to refer to Adelaide as "Yass, with poofters" :D

    Donny Dunstan may have influenced that statement :D

    A journalist friend of mine when posted over here a few years ago would greet her Sydney friends at Adelaide airport with a cheery "Welcome to Dubbo!"

    Ouch :(

    Usually you see them on roads, sometimes on racetracks but mainly on roads.

    Ha, sorry for the misspelling guys.

    Also I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I think thats understood.

    Anyways thanks for the warm welcome. I'm still in the planning stages of this trip with the councelors at my school, so I'll update as I get more information. But as of right now I have an internship with a Real Estate Development company set up (thanks to a great friends help), and I'm looking at surf boards online as well as researching things to do.

    Should I order some vegemite now to get used to the taste before I head over?

    well, i've managed nearly 30 years here without having to eat much of the crap so no. but start getting your body used to beer, if you werk outdoors you'll have it in your thermos, if you get an office job, it's what we put in the water cooler.

    you should order it but by no means try to eat it !!!

    I never ate it for the first 20 years of my life and have avoided it since, use it for greasing your axles :)

    also avoid Sadelaide at all costs, the rest of Australia does :D

    all 14 of them are posting on this forum so you know the "quality" of the people there :rolleyes:
