soubriquet 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Not hitting on Americans, but I wish you would play international sport. Some of your baseballers would be great cricketers, and I'd love to see some of those fantastic gridiron athletes in football and rugby. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I liked the place, it had a real homey feel to it. But for a big city it had loads of bumpkins!! Guys with mullets and Holden caps, driving beat up Utes. Always thought there was an essence of trouble in the air as well. There were some interesting people in Adelaide. I think Adelaide suffers from what my home town also suffers by and that is being overshadowed by the other bigger cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. Adelaide is a down to earth, rough and ready place. I just meant that there is a larger spectrum of people in other places that may give you a better picture of Aussies than just from one place. Like I said Indo, no offence meant, please don't hunt me down and kick in my face, I don't have a metal helmet yet!! Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 No offence taken mate To me it sounds like you spent your time in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 hahaha, thats so true!! My aunty lives in Elizabeth, but we'd regularly head into the city and down to Glenelg for drinking. I have some other family in the outer suburbs as well, down near the beach, can't quite remember the name though. Like I said I liked Adelaide, its a beautifully set out city, with the parks around the CBD. It just suffers from being the "poor cousin" to Melbourne and Sydney Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I guessed Elizabeth!! Not a fan of the Place at all. I'm a southern subs boy.. Glenelg to Hallet Cove! Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 My wife and I just opened our first cafe/ukulele/Hawaiian goods shop in Sendai. It took a lot of work to design it with Hawaiian materials (lots and lots of koa wood) but its a very authentic Hawaiian shop. I'm the chef, ukulele salesmen and consultant, foreign buyer, PR man.......I forgot how much work is involved with running your own biz. Good fun though. Any ukulele players in the Tohoku area can check us out at the Sendai Ukulele Festival on Sept 23. We're co-sponsoring it and will have a table set up. Link to post Share on other sites
