I'd bloody die of hypothermia in UK if I went back now. And that's the UK summers!!!...lol

Given you haven't felt the cold....hows about you share your tablets :D :D

Aimed to manage to 31 May but still at it. Cuts down on water usage as you don't dawdle.

Perhaps it's global warming.

I left China to settle in Sydney this year and found to my great dismay that the service standards and I.T infrastructures in Australia are lagging far behind that of China.

one simple example:
We ordered a sofa from Harvey Norman in early April, but it took 5 weeks to arrive. I guess the furniture stores here are not at all well stocked. In most large Chinese cities, the goods are normally delivered on the same or next day. I figure this is a result of the sparse population here.

But dont get me wrong, I still prefer to stay in Australia, which is a democratic nation.
