So I'm moving to Australia...

[KgB]

I'm 14 so I don't plan on drinking beer any time soon... (Atleast, not as much as any normal alcoholic would...   )

I'm pretty psyched to go up there though... ESPECIALLY the girls there... 

Statistics show that in the under 26 age group there are more males than females in Australia.
Good luck kid

As an Australian I can tell you that your not going to have any problems with the locals. At the age of 14 going to an Australian school you will generate a lot of interest with the girls (unless of course you look as if you have been hit by a truck) be your self listen to the locals you will be fine.

Xasthur, thanks for the offer, but my internet has seen better days and now I'm a warp magnet.  I stopped playing AH about a few months ago.  When I get into Australia I'll see if I can get back in the mood for Aces High.  How is the internet connection down there? 

Internet is expensive compared to the Yank providers, IIRC.... but you'll just have to deal with it.

Optus cable seems to be the most consistant connection. A couple of the other Prawns have problems with other providers and I get disco'd very, very rarely.... Once a month if I'm unlucky and my connection speeds seem pretty good... I don't have much trouble with others warping and no one suggests that I warp.

Optus seems to be the way to go.

Lyric is right, by the way, being an American kid at school will probably help you get some tail.

Queensland is a top spot.
The Gold Coast is a fairly lively little city, it will wear on you though if you try to live it up all day every day.
ISP's are a little prehistoric, we pay $110/month for 8Mbps. ADSL2+ should be available on the Gold Coast though.

AH! Aussie girls.  I loved (and still do love, don't tell my wife) the bodies, now if they just came equipped with a Kiwi accent, Irish grace, English education and Scotish constitution those women would be the most perfect ever IMHO.

Seriously, what Lyric said, in my early career I was sent to Australia and learned that if I talked a little, listened a lot &  showed even moderate interest in a Aussie girl then she became very interested in me.  Oh yes, enjoy the beach as much as you can; unless you get sent to Hawaii, you'll NEVER see the likes again.

I pay $99 a month for 'unlimited' 12 gig p/month broadboand + homephone with Optus. I don't know what the connection speed is... It's good enough for flawless AH, so that's enough for me.

[SD67]

I got 50gig/month (Shaped after that or purchase more), no home phone bundle.
We are bandwidth hogs. Some months we burn through that 50 gig allowance in a few days.

Do not spend too much time on the beaches and always use a good sunscreen. Ultraviolet radiation is pretty tough there.

[Xasthur]

Yep, hat, sunnies, SPF30+ and good clothes.... you'll be fine.

Follow that advice and you can spend as much time down there as you want, just keep re-applying the sunscreen.

You'll soon see the women from the 80s who thought that 'beach bronze' was the look to die for.... You could skin them and make handbags. As soon as you see that you'll make sure you have sunscreen where ever you go! haha.

I second and/or third your post.  Aussie girls are great.  I stand by "spectacular".

According to your stunning assessment then France is an Eastern country, as is Germany, Finland Norway, Italy and so forth.

Maybe you should try dictionary.com:
east⋅ern     [ee-stern]   
6.   (usually initial capital letter) Oriental.

western     [wes-tern] 
6.   (usually initial capital letter) of or pertaining to the non-Communist countries of Europe and the Americas: Western trade agreements.

westernize       (wěs'tər-nīz')
tr.v.   west·ern·ized, west·ern·iz·ing, west·ern·iz·es
To convert to the customs of Western civilization.
west'ern·i·za'tion (wěs'tər-nĭ-zā'shən) n.

By definition NZ and Australia would call themselves Western countries, only a complete idiot would use that map to decide if a country was Western or Eastern.

You're kidding right?  You don't understand the differences in spatial representation to cultural representation?  Seriously, read a bit more.  It will make alot more sense.
