No stick with Rome & Greece & of course Jasper ... more class.Gannon wrote:Once again, thanks for the kind words Fran. I actually feel I might have to read "The Slap" now. Negative publicity at its best.
We do have some strong ethnic communities here down under. It really depends on where you live.
Maud I could not agree with you more about skyscrapers and the urban jungle. Give me a nice quiet beach every time. The only thing I like about big cities is more book shops. Not big ones but the little ones that are hidden away. I can only stand about a week in a big city before I start to become claustrophobic and the walls start closing in and its back to the beach as quick as I can scamper.
I live about 2K from the beach & I love it especially in winter when it's wild and unpredictable and there's just the few hardy souls about. I think there's something very soothing about looking out at the ocean & knowing it was there long before me & will still be there long after I'm gone.
