Talking about Prawns in the grill. I love Rice with Shrimp and all seafood. I am glad that I am not allergic to seafood, it would be a miserable existence for me.

If anything Australia is the worlds Florida.

Probably more often. I love going to botanic gardens and zoos.Is that as often as I see moose?

Is it true the toilet water cycles in reverse in Australia?

Umm... is it supposed to cycle in any other way?

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

Saying "Put some shrimps on the barbie" is probably the easiest way to commit assisted suicide in 'straya.

Close, asking for a couple of darries is the closest.
You're lucky, I only have one allergy and it is to prawns... And I love prawns... It swells my throat and I can stop breathing so there is no way I can even eat just one or two and be mostly fine.
The stupid thing is that I used to eat them and only get my throat feeling a bit irritated, but when I got older it got worst

Your country is by the sea and also quite tropical, I'm sure you have a lot of really good options to choose from when it comes to fresh fish. You are connected to Caribbean, Mexican gulf, Atlantic and Pacific. My aunt lives in Mexico and fresh fruit is very inexpensive there and there's lots to choose from.

The country isn't tropical guys. And I actually live far away from the coast on the mountain ranges. Seafood is expensive here.

Same with my aunt. I guess it can even get quite cold if you are quite high up? Even snow? And I don't mean 'snow'.

Not snow, we do get Hail from time to time but to get snow you would have to go the highest peaks in the country.

Well don't worry about it, snow is overrated. Plowing snow sucks. As you can see from this pic I took this morning, we have more then enough of it.

I would imagine, I loved the snow in Poland but I can't imagine having to do all the work so the whole place doesn't become impossible to function in and do it every year.

I am planning a small excursion to this place later in January:
That's a chruch inside an old Salt mine here in Colombia. It's pretty close to Bogota and it's very inexpensive. I need some reference material for Catacombs and man made Tunnels for my story and this is a pretty convenient place to get such material. Gonna take advantage of January being kind of an slow month at the office.

Watching Nat Geo docu series about colombian airport, and one chick is stopped with a bag she's carrying, she confirms its her bag, but then insists it's no longer her bag once a dog sniffs it, and they begin to pry it open
She drops to the floor, fainting, when they discover a not-even-hidden brick of cocaine
What I always think about, when seeing scenes of these, is what someone explained to me - outside of a docu
They are decoys. Everyone thinks these people are mules, but the cocaine arriving in USA and Europe does not arrive in 1-kilo bricks in some dumb broad's bag
They arrive by the tons
So, what the cartels will do is fool these dumb people into muling for them, and usually gives them a big paid vacation as a payment "up front" (this adds to their guilt-ridden pressure to go through with the smuggle)
There was a huge case w a Norwegian girl some years back, tons of naive-assss people + media all "but she SAID she didn't know who PUT the cocaine IN her bag!"
wait, what, put it there?
"Yes, you don't know how these criminals operate! They'll put tons of drugs in your bag!" and then what, rely on ME to start selling it?
They entice people with big, paid vacations, even if that costs them a thousand dollars or more, it's peanuts compared to the brick of coke they are willingly forfeiting - which in turn is a drop in the ocean compared to the 500-kilos they DO get across that very day.
It also explains why all these morons have people waiting for them in the airport, they always know. It has to suck so hard to be so doomed Well, they do it to themselves, but still, that moment when they're trying so hard not to sweat, and there's people standing there, waiting, waiving them in, "Come with us, please."

On related note I always feel guilty in airports. I'm a scruff, I'm not shaved, sometimes I'm long-haired, one time I travelled with no hand luggage, I sent it all on the plane, I'm just strolling 'round the airport in my pants and t-shirt, like some summer-hobo
No matter what though, I can be slobbish, running, super-tense having to poop real bad, I am never actually eyed out by the guards. This tells me that either airport security must be _experts_ at differing different types of stress-faces, or they rely heavily on tips
People always stress at airports, so you have to stress really hard to be busted because you looked stressed out, which I think is very unlikely, unless someone did tip them off about you

Was reading about airport pat downs they do to passengers. One lady went through the x-ray thing and they said that she has a "crotch anomaly". A female TSA employer stuck her hand down the lady's pants right there on the spot since she was in a hurry and didn't want to go to a backroom.
Like I wonder sometimes if Bin Laden actually won. Airports are strange though. They are public places, built with tax payer money, right? But airlines are private companies making money out of the whole thing? TSA etc. are funded with tax payer money?
Strange how, say you have a bad flight or something and you go and complain to the information desk about it. Even if you're not loud or anything, a guy (a cop of some sort I guess) may appear with an MP-5 or some other submachine gun. They are using tax payer money to protect the shady business of airline companies.
Plus they give you free alcohol on the plane and are then upset when folks are a bit loud etc.?
