Re: Why Perth?
Shit, I guess that makes you an Aussie too. Who helped you fill out the visa
application form? I'm pretty sure you have to fill it out in English.
BTW, call DIMA and let them know 70% of Perth is made up of tourists and
non-citizens.

"Keeping up with the Joneses" is a figure of speech in the UK, it means copying the
buying habits of your neighbours in order to show that you are as wealthy/classy as
they are. e.g if you have an old car and the neighbours get a new car, you may be
accused of "keeping up with the Joneses" if you buy a new car too.

It's not just in the UK. It's a common expression in (overly materialistic)
America too.
