I liked the Kiwi girl I was met - she was full of Fush and chups and put the cattle on. I loved just the way she spok like she had a hot potato in her mouth.

Yes you do find shallow people everywhere, but the australian psyche seems to be affected in plague proportion and with a terminal prognosis.
hmmm...actually I agree with the shallow bit - we are getting too materialistic and comfortable etc especially us migrating poms, but I am not going to take an over hippie "burn your brads" approach to it......

Why is it so bl**dy necessary for people to have labels? Pom/Aussie...Aussie/Pom...
How long do you have to live in a country before you are considered "one of them?"
So Germaine has lived in Britain most of her life and prefers it to Australia - that makes her a "Pom" (racist label) does it?
How long do I have to live here before I stop being referred to as a "Pom"?
WELL?

steady on...maybe you and Kiwichild should have a date. As much as labelling is bad, it does help many make sense of the world they live in...you just have to see past some of the bigger stereotypes.

A little bit deeper thinking and unafraid to say what she really thinks than your average Australian girl, d'you mean?

Don't know about the date Badge

But where we come from, our individual history and connection to our origin and culture does play a huge part in our sense of identity and how we see and experience the world. Its not the "B all and end all" but it is a significant part of who we are.

How refreshingly different from all these Australian girls (and boys) trying to disconnect from their origin and culture and put it down all the time.

Sorry, I realise it's a bit of an oxymoron having the words Australian and culture in the same sentence but it can't be helped.

Sit back and watch the fur fly, now...
