Australia's mini bubble hasn't burst yet and Oz is not independent from world economics. Especially dependent on exports to countries like Japan somewhat excessively. The media is trying to hype up the housing market by saying it 's time to buy now, but actually whoever buy's is entering a contract and if you lose your Job, you are stuffed. Australia has been stuffed by politicians and Labour unions, but when shit hits the fan, it's gonna be like anywhere else. They can't help you. People lose jobs, they lose houses. I always thought the housing market will collapse but the 2000 Olympics dela

You are allowed to take a headwear on board. That means you can wear an helmet. I take my helmet (skydiving, paragliding, snowboarding, whatever) and put it in the overhead.

Shit. nearly lost your ankle Rob.... close shave

I someone pays you to do something you like, sure anyone will do it. You got skills from the past. Just needs brushing up on presentation and photos. You got an angle on interest. CARS. you know it and there are a lot of petrol heads in Oz. Travel writing from a grease monkeys eyes. I use to do fashion photography and street stuff long time ago, but I am not a good salesman. You got to be good at self promotion and presentation in essence.

I haven't changed the thread title. If any one post after you about a different topic, it's gone! That's what I did. You became not the latest post. BUT your tread title is unchanged and there in the Off Topic- General listing. What's your problem mate? cheers.

I believe motivational speeches have the opposite effect. Plus, every one of these are easily said than done.. Are you one of those churchie types? well...I don't know you and the girl so I can't say. No one likes to be patronized, you know what I mean. If you really care about her, just shut up and listen and don't say anything. Recommend her to get some professional help. first one: happiness is a feeling! 2nd: Fu(kin work ethic bollocks 3rd: so obvious 4th: and keep getting deeper into hell WTF! Sorry mate, I think you need help.. someone give him a good one!

Yes, Good evening and good night. Got to get up around 5 in the morning. The days with Gentlemen's mornings are over ...

INAWASHIRO, Japan: Japan's Aiko Uemura capped a perfect weekend Sunday, winning the women's dual moguls for her second title in the World Freestyle Championships. Uemura, the moguls winner Saturday, edged compatriot Miki Ito in the finals Sunday. American Hannah Kearney finished third.

May be "MU" (non existence) or " KUU " (sky, emptiness) The nuance is that I can say having no Kata , just say Flee-stylu or Kata ni hai-lanai. (it isn't considerable as a Kata, or does not enter a Kata) But having said that, NO Kata is Kata, too. Dig?

You are on to a good thing. Keep doing it

Become a Travel reporter .... This is good stuff Guys, don't believe what is written on travel magazines. I met an old lady who is a travel writer in Australia, and she had never been there. It was all made up. No wonder it's sounds so good.

Men from Bavaria and Tirol wears them hats. Slightly different shape. My Pa And I got one in !966, and he is still wearing it in Tokyo. The one with pig hair brush on the side... I actually like what they wear and the music.. it's cheerful. There's so many beers here. There's one that actually doesn't taste so bad.. like fruity? I forgot what it's called. still, I don't have the enzymes to digest it properly, for good or worse.

Yes, and shit yeah ! maybe I go back and grow gum trees...

Read on the Asahi news today of interest to Aussies... The cost of feeding one Koala in japan is approx. AUD 230G ! The climate and Typhoon and transport cost is the factor for the high price of gum leaves. Another headache for the Japanese.

That is a great photo log. Shows and tells the essence .. Raicho is definitely a bonus. Thank you

Freddie was darn right scary. I knew a girl who said people who make movies should be thrown into jail. I don't get scared with movies but looking at some of the people who got their life screwed up from the effect, yeah along with some priests .. Anyways, Jacko is a freak show, no doubt about that along with Rolling Stones. But he was Big Time, forget beegees, abba, (they were good though) he was the real thing when things were getting middle of the road. And yes, lots of kids copied moonwalk from MJ. They still Rock but Tina Turner tops it with regular lives. Yes, Ma'bear. T

5+ hrs !!! you're shitting me! How about watching a full length movie? I have to watch it on lower brightness, and recharge straight away.

carrying an external drive plus power converters makes it not so transportable. Battery life is still short on any portables... I'm going to wait for another couple of years and stick with my Macbook. Other than vid cameras, I am not a huge fan of sony. actually sony sucks!

damn.. that's cool. God bless him to become a centurion .. as in becoming 100 yo. As for the economy, I don't know about putting a time line. That's gambling IMO.

How old is your extremely old granpa, GG?

We are tossing to go to Japan or Canada .. Having a base in Tokyo at my parents is convenient and the food and onsen... mmm..... or go cat. I miss Japan the older I get for sure.

So true, Ryoma .. They think it's all about Kata (how it looks externally, form)

That's why my Bavarian girl is with me.... I don't drink, and why would I want to drink something that tastes like Vit B tablets my mum used to feed me, or bubbly vegemite juice.
