I'm not sure I want to try to milk a male alpaca. That's a trick you play on the newbies, isn't it!

LOL. Well I had a chat with the owner of the shop, here in perth. Told him about the kiwis and sheep jokes. he said if he relied on kiwis to patronise his shop, he'd go out of business lol (not enough of us here I think he meant). said most of his customers were from interstate or locals and that they also tended to be the ones who went for the sheep dolls

Meanwhile, back on topic.....

Yes, I read the going back forum before we moved - why not? Good to get other points of view although cant say that any points of view from this or other forums played a huge part in where we ended up or how things have worked out. You have to find out for yourself what places are like and make your own minds up, not think about what other people have said or their opinions. After all there is some right crap written on forums, I remember reading loads of threads about stupid things, like there's no decent cheese in Australia - what a crock, there are cheese factories everywhere and plenty of decent choices in the supermarket. That's just an example of something trivial, so cant imagine basing decisions about where to live etc. on what I'd raed.

I'd never been here before so I came with an open mind and didnt really know what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised.

Must admit Kev, been expecting to hear you're packing off back home since not long after you arrived as you've never seemed happy here...

I agree Bridie with what you say.
Nice to hear from you on the expats.
