    All the reasonable taxing of the states, with only some of the nutjob conservatives.

    Oil and gas salaries have pumped up salaries in general here too.

    Summers, all 4 and a half months of it are great.
    Winters, are ok except for late Jan and Feb which is face meltingly cold.

    Canada is the nut country.
    Surely Brazil is the nut country .

                Nice question to pose...

                South America : Rio or somewhere like Bariloche
                North America : San Fran or Chicago
                Europe : Northern Italy somewhere or Amsterdam
                Asia : Hoi An (adore this place) - never been outside Vietnam but HK seems cool enough as big cities go.
                Africa : Never been - will randomly suggest Mauritus or Marrakech

But how would you even know where to start. What to eat at the right temperature. That plate seems to lack all sense of order!
                    Don't worry about that and just tuck in.

                      This.

                      That's the sharing platter so we got our own plate each and just piled on what we fancied.

                        Kind of LOL @ this, population wise its not but it totally is in that they have managed to hold on to just about all the wealth.

                        I love visiting Africa, not travelling nearly as much these days now that 4G is everywhere and most of what it used to cost tens of K to get me to do I can do from sitting at home

                        As regards places to live there IMO Botswana would be a fantastic country to retire to and in the right circumstances I may well do so miles ahead of anywhere else I've been on the continent.

                        Other than that there are parts of SA that are OK but you would really want to know who you are dealing with there. From everything I've seen a large majority of white South Africans remain deeply and inherently racist with no thought of their countrymen as fellow citizens but as a resource to be exploited. Unfortunately it can often take a bit of digging to realise that about some of them.

                        Tanzania has lots of great places that would be livable in and not just with big money.

                        The Mediterranean coast of Egypt up around Alexandria would be a great place for winter weather and even as things are would probably be just as civilised as likes of Morocco and could come a really great place if and when things settle down again.

                          2 year old daughter bent down earlier, did a big fart and started roaring laughing. 5 year old came out and asked what was going on. I told her and she asked her to do it again.

                          She did.

                          She farted on request three more times.

                          Have never seen that before.

                          5 year old reckons she has 'magic fart powers'

                                    Also New Approach and Horatio are 100% on the mark with Hoi An in Vietnam. Was my favourite place in all of SE Asia.

                                                      Today they had a quiz in work and one of the rounds was where they had pictures of peoples eyes and you had to identify the person, some of the pics were of celebs and some of colleagues.

                                                      A pic came up and the four names that came up included me and Bryan Cranston
                                                      I looked at it and though a/ where did they get that picture of me and b/ feck I look even older than I thought
                                                      80% clicked me ... the picture was of Bryan Cranston

                                                            Melbourne or Sydney are the only two options.

                                                            Melbourne has sport, food and more laid back.

                                                                      As regards places to live there IMO Botswana would be a fantastic country to retire to and in the right circumstances I may well do so miles ahead of anywhere else I've been on the continent.

From everything I've seen a large majority of white South Africans remain deeply and inherently racist with no thought of their countrymen as fellow citizens but as a resource to be exploited. Unfortunately it can often take a bit of digging to realise that about some of them.

I was unfortunate enough to have lived and worked there for 3 months on my WHV because the company I was working for had been contracted to a big job there and the money was good. Huge amount of junkies strung out on "ice", and feck all to actually do in the city. Here it's about 10 years ago since I was there so might not be as bad.

You really need to be living in the Eastern Suburbs IMO. Bronte, Waverly, Clovelly, Rose Bay, etc even Coogee or go north towards Manly.

                                                                                                        Like 40 degrees on Monday, 18 degrees on Tuesday.

                                                                                                        That said, it's still a fantastic city. Mrs Lao Lao's sister, brother-in-law and nieces/nephew live there so they are always on to us to go out to them, need to try look into that in the next year or so, post Vid obvs.

He had to settle in Adelaide as part of the visa requirements for two years. After that, he could move on and live anywhere. He's still there and he loves it and he wouldn't be your shy wallflower type either - He reckons there is a good bar/music scene etc and likes it near the beach. He did say, it took a little while to get into a groove (but that could be said about moving anywhere new on your own) but that's it's a pretty cool, laid back city.

                                                                                                          I still reckon I'd get him to come up to meet in in Melbourne or Sydney if I get over there in the next few years though

Colonists settlers invaders killed every native person of Tasmania. Seriously anyone who would prefer dull as dishwater Adelaide over Brisbane must be brain damaged.
