1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Daniel, it looks like you live in Greece!
Now overlap Australia with the United States. I think the contiguous 48 states, and Australia are about the same size.

And that is about the only similarity, you Americans are just too wacko to be compared with us Aussies. ;)

It's only the descendants of Britain that are the wackos here. So. We do have that in common. ;)

I see that Hobart would be in Lybia. The place must be a mess.

FL, when Australia is on the US, that puts you smack dab in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef. Canada never looked so good, eh?

The map is historically inaccurate. :poke:

Yugoslavia without Istria (as seen on the map) existed from 1918 to 1941.
Germany with borders like on the map has existed since 1990.
Hungary possessed parts of eastern (Czecho)Slovakia from 1941 to 1944.

Isn't the Great Barrier Reef dying? Why are you so fascinated by Australia anyway?

Is it dying? I didn't realize that. And, I have no idea why I'm so fascinated by Australia.

Yeah...pollution or global warming or whatever is taking its toll on the Great Barrier Reef(GBR). Unlike the GBR, Canada is quite unremarkable, but it isn't dying. The economy is still vigorous, and - along with Switzerland and China - housing prices just keep going up.

What are the chances your ''employer'' :bag: would transfer you to Australia? And if ''the agency'' did, where would you like to be posted?

FL, It's funny you said that. I actually looked for employment opportunities with my company, in Australia. I really have no desire to move there, at this time though.
On another note, I got my AAA magazine, and inside is an article about traveling to Switzerland. I'll have to say, from what I can see, it's a beautiful place. And the article says that St. Moritz gets an average of 320 days of sunshine a year. That's my kind of place. I can't stand cold and dreary places. That's why I moved to Florida.

Well...I like Florida as well. Unfortunately, there are too many Canadians there...too many Latinos as well; all those aliens just spoil the state. And they seem to be all over the place, like cockroaches.

Switzerland is very nice. I stayed there in a town called Fontainemelon, ''Melon Fountain''!. The prettiest place in Switzerland is Sion - French for Zion - a city Gman would love, I'm sure.

Australia: never been there...and the prospect of a 24-hour airline trip doesn't thrill me. Plus, they drive on the wrong side.

I've been watching a show from Australia every now and then. The show is Australia: Border Security (which is kind of funny seeing that Oz has no border with another country...anyway, I like to listen to the funny accent they have). The show is set at some international airport (Sydney?) and the Aussie Customs Agents' job is to intercept illegal imports of foodstuff and miscreants into that country.

What surprises me is the polite firmness of the Customs Agents.

I think that's exactly what the Seminoles probably said about the Spanish and the Americans before Andy Jackson ran them into the southern FL swamps.
