Hi guys,
please stop!!!! I can't cope with the envy

My reasons are similar, and yet different;
1) The Aussie have a go attitude!none of that "you can't/ couldn't/ shouldn't nonsense
2) Work / LIFE balance; there does appear to be an actual balance!
3) Community spirit and values; when in Oz we witnessed ANZAC; what an eye-opener. The pride displayed for the vets and serving armed forces; WOW. Even the youngsters, teenagers, up at dawn!!! I wish we Brits showed some of that.
4) Complete strangers saying G'DAY, HOWAR YA? No pretence of sociability, just genuine friendliness.
5) The wine!!!!!!!! Keep your chateau neuf, even if it's lovely.

I can't wait to come to Oz; i may well miss home, some people and Tesco on a saturday, Thanks, but i'll take the risk
Thanks all
Jane
