Its all to do with mental conditioning-give some ppeople peace and quite and abig block of land-and they will complain the are bored and the supermarkets are lousy-their minds are conditioned to deal with stress.
They won't be happy until they are back dealing with local Chavs, queues, etc-the mind remembers the good things in the past and the bad in the present-they will get a reality check when they return

Australia isn't all about peace and quite (sic) and abig (sic) block of land - it also has cities like Sydney and Melbourne where people live in units and houses on small blocks of land, in fairly urban environments. I'm bored with the stereotypes that exclude people like me.
