I have, but in a very different and dodgier context. ;)


Haha yeah, my friend and I always joke about "street meat". We have some good pictures with us eating our street meat. It's funny because my boyfriend at the time and my good friend refused to buy street meat because they said it was dirty but my other friends and I were buying it and we finally got them to try it and they loved it.

You don't want to visit the medway Towns lol is awful now, but some history scattered about which is nice. Some very old buildings in Rochester. I believe Rochester was technically on the census before Bethlehem, as it happens, but anyway just avoid the people. ;)


That's why I think people shouldn't bother with Australia unless it's fauna and flora related, theirs even a joke in my state that Queensland is never sure if it wants to be Louisiana or California (More often than not it's not the latter)



It's embarrassing a city of 5 million (Sydney) pretending to be a world class city and it doesn't have a metro or a tram network* how provincial is that ?


*that sideshow ally ride that goes past the markets doesn't count like many people I had no idea it existed. :o Worse yet stupid provencial minded council are about take down the monorail :cry: (that ride was the most fun I had their) :roll: :roll:

I must admit the Blue Mountains was quite stunning take the train up their and sit on the left side for the most panoramic views (got that tid bit from Lonely Planet) :wink:

Well tell your BF it's a good immune strengthener exercise, :wink: I think I'm so strong in that regard I could lick the floor of a truck stop floor urinal and live to tell the tale. (though I may get high from the experience)

No bali Belly for me :wink: *

*perhaps not I've never visted a 3rd world nation the closest I've come is a middle income one like Malaysia, and I was a ok , How can you not go to a South East Asian nation and not eat the street food :?

Well I think you should go to Rangoon or Tokyo, :D though I wont "inspire" you because I don't live their nor can I be bothered to expalin why :) except to say it's a TD as opposed to as SD and at the risk of sounding like i'm talking about a sexually related disease SD = similar difference, TD = total difference.



As nice as these places are they seem to SD , Richard Benson's mountains look like a less impressive and less high Swiss mountain range with visual pollution from the golden arches and Tequilas rural images look a little like the Swiss Jura (western rural Switzerland) especially so with those cows.



Tokyo and Rangoon would seem out of this world to western eyes , so for people who don't give a %^&T about anything :wink: (keeps us young) :wink: they need something pretty out worldly and insipring to make it worth their while ya ?

Well I think Melbourne as a city is worth visting in it's own right unlike Sydney :wink: it's my favorite city thanks to it's architecture , ie Victorian era what i like to call whore house rococo meets bordello baroque. :D Actually it's in a photo book series called "than and now" a few weeks ago I borrowed it from the library it was Chicago this week it's Melbourne :) and it was amazing to see some of the stunning Victorian era buildings which where knocked down in the mid 20 century , for some redutivist nonseanse high rise thingies. :cry: That's why I particulary dislike Sydney the white shoe people got away with much more of that %^&IT in the day , I guess thats the Sydney mindset with it's criminal convict past as opposed to Melbourne which was settled by gentlemanly graziers.



I just went to Sydney to satisfy a curiosity is it as bad as people say 80% + who lived their who are now in Brisbane hate it , which is ironical as they say Brisbane is a bad parody of Sydney.



Unlike Melbourne I have yet to here some one say a bad thing about the place , if I wasn't so settled I'd move their. :)

This is the best tourism video I could find for where I live. We are pretty much only known for sport and wine and beer and the outback and stupid cultural festival's.

this beer ad sums up south australia better.
