One of the chicks at my work from Australia said her father got himself a mail-order bride from Thailand. Apparently a lot of Australians have mail order brides. This explains why there is so many old Aussies with young asian women. It is like a new form slavery they don't speak English, cook food, clean and provide other services.Tuesday September 28, 2004
The big news in Australia was whether Prime Minister John Howard would appear on Rove. Rove tried everything. He ambushed the Prime Minister, hired a skywriter to circle parliament in Canberra, found out the PM's favourite sandwich, and built a trap in his studio to entrap the Prime Minister if he wanted to get the sandwich. He didn't show.

We got another Canadian working at the call centre. The Torontion thought Toronto was the most loved city in Canada because it is the biggest. He was from Montreal. I was now willing to put money on it. She asked him and got a little dose of reality on the world outside of Toronto.Thursay September 30, 2004
Toronto Tolerance. She is always saying Toronto is tolerant. But now with someone from Quebec here she spoke her view that the main problem with the world is the people who speak a different language than English. She also said that everybody that is a separtist is a terrorist in Quebec. She said she heard it from some University of Toronto prof. This really got me going. Terrorism is the deliberate intent to harm someone for policitical gains. Voting isn't terrorism and I am a passionate Canadian.Friday October 1st, 2004
Another fight with Toronto. She said Canada was the biggest country in the world and Russia is the size of France.Saturday October 2, 2004
I went to the powerhouse musuem. It is the biggest musuem in Sydney and has a lot of exhbits involving the evolution of technology. It had a replica space capsule and early engines. But the most fascinating is the Arab exhibit. The second most spoken language in Australia is arabic. That would explain why there is so many Kebab plances in Australia.Sunday October 3, 2004
I finally went to the Sydney tower and got some awesome pictures. They also had a virtual reality tour of Australia as part of the Tower tour. Sunday night the Grande rugby final was on and Sydney lost preventing the city to go beserk.Monday October 4, 2004
It was Labour Day today and I got alot done on my day off. I went to the Botanic gardens and saw some tropical plants. I then walked to Circular Quay and saw the best street performance of my life. He was hilarious, juggled fire, knives, a chainsaw, while on top of a bike which was on a pole. I was near the Rocks and decided to go to the Hero of Waterloo which is one of Australia's oldest pubs and has underground tunnels where alcohol was smuggled. But there was no access to these tunnels. I also met my boss at the bar which kind of startled me.Tuesday October 5, 2004
The train system is horrible in Sydney. It isn't uncommon for trains to be late be 20 minutes here. Australia needs to bring a dictator in power because the trains will run on time. Mussolini, Stalin, Pinnochet it has always been proven that this area always improves when the dictator is power. When the trains run slow, certain people are removed.Wednesday October 6, 2004
A person got fired from work for watching hard core porn on her computer. The only person not in work was a little girl from India. It was her. Us guys were convinced it was her and said she was all quite in the corner and must have been looking at porn. The girls said it probably was a mistake and she probably went on a site by accident. But one of our supervisors she downloaded and watched a 40 minute porn video.Thursay October 7, 2004
John Kerry really impressed me in the debates. Who really cares if the US got Poland to join them in the war on Iraq. He performed well without the assistance of a radio transmitter. He reminds alot of John F Kennedy. They share the same initials, they are from the same state, both of them are war heros, they both have liberal views, catholic, both were hated by Nixon, and are pro-world.Friday October 8, 2004
The Aussie chick is also a cheer-leader. She has a competition after work and she was wearing her cheer-leading skirt. The skirt drove me nuts. So I went over and asked why she was dressed up. She said she wasn't and I was like well it's something different.Saturday October 9, 2004
The Australian election was the most bizarre election ever. John Howard is the biggest liar I have ever seen. The labour lost several seats to him. The biggest gains were made by 3 independents who won their seats after they left Howard's liberal party. One of them called Howard a lying rodent and people with ratsuits followed Howard throughout the campaign. Now why is he a liar not just because he is taking the US position on the war in Iraq. The children overboard scandal shows highlights his integrity. In 2001 Howard was poised to lose so he took an anti-refugee stance and said they wouldn't accept any refugees from boats because they were throwing children overboard to look more favourable as refugees because they would be a higher percentage of skilled refugees. In the past year numerous reports and whistleblowers have stated this was untrue. The 2 senior bureaucrats who he said informed both stated they never said children were being thrown overboard. He then criticized them as liars. With his record for telling the truth. He started his campaign with the slogan the party of truth. After a few days they got rid of the ridiculous campaign slogan and started a scare campaign like I have never seen before. They ran countless commercials saying interest rates were going to soar under labour and it actually worked. In the 1980's there was a period were interest rates were high but that was due mainly to the rapidly growing south east economy than government policy. The coalition of the liberals and the national party won 3 elections and focussed on policy. But they brought this policy out of nowhere and it worked. A best Canadian comparission that I can think of. Would be if Paul Martin based is whole campaign on making the best appointments. He would have used Mulroney's quote of not appointing another person affiliated with the liberal party for 100 years. Martin would have stated Stephen Harper was going to get rid of all public service employees affliated with the liberal party and replace them with Harper loyalists. The labour leader Mark Latham won the debate against a rodent but lost the election. Even one of the anchorman asked a party strategist they can't posibly hope of pulling off this scare tactic next time. But at least the Aussie press coverage was funny. In Canada after the election the panelists look back and are fairly honest why their party did good or bad. But in Australia they make personal attacks against the other panielists and keep the spin going. The liberals were saying it looks like Australians want them in permantely and this results show that they don't have a chance in at least the next 2 elections. (The liberals gained 2 more seats this election-massive win) The labour said they did nothing wrong and Australia got tricked by a lying rodent. The minor parties were even more vicious and one women started yelling at the democratic panelist to leave because they didn't win any seats in the Senate and she is irrelevant. The new labour seats won were all won by hot chicks under 30. One aussie Elsie Wayne clone said the people made a huge mistake by electing someone who is more attractive than her because she has raised 2 children and is more responsible. Sunday October 10, 2004 Maybe it's good John Howard did win because the labour party was going to prevent backpacker's from claiming their 9% supperanuation. I would have lost 9% of my wages. No wonder Aussies decided not to vote the anti-backpacker party in party.Monday October 11, 2004
Waltzing Matilda means carrying your belongings across the outback. That is what I looked like. I was wearing my outback hat, large backpack on our back, in the front I was wearing my regular backpack. I was also carrying my new luggage bag and the DVD player. I moved in with 3 irish chicks and 1 guy. The place looked good initally. But I quickly found the problem of moving in somewhere where there is no deposit. My bed has cockroaches in it and there are bugs covering this hole. I am now white trash for the next 3 weeks. I am living in an episode of COPS where there's no know what in the living room.Tuesday October 12, 2004
Rove had Kramer on from Seinfeld. He looked old, wasn't funny, and was talking the all time of the craft of acting. Kramer do what you do best so you can get a job. He also made fun of Bush's mysterious bulge. Things Bush heard in his secret earpiece: Stop saying over and out they are getting suspicous; do da do da do; now it's time for your wardrobe malfunction; Hey George it's your buddy John Howard (hilarious John Howard impression); Mr. President will you appear on Rove Live.

I meant a ton of Canadians, all of us were told to go home and lunch, and I was the only one who they told to come back tommorrow morning. I went to pick up my mail and I heard 2 people talking, "so your from Canada too." I got in the conversation "I am from Canada". Then yet another two people came over and said they were from Canada. I meant 4 people from Canada in one day. We were all estatic. Two of them were hots chicks but I didn't have enough time to get their number. I went to see Outfoxed and it was alot better than Outfoxed. It's not as funny but it stays focussed and doesn't try to over emotionalize it. It shows how FOX news brainwashes people by constantly saying they are fair and balanced. Polls show most Fox news viewers think FOX is balanced They also have liberal commentators who are poor debators, look like weasals, or agree on the topic with republicans. It harshly criticized Bill O'Reilly. The most ridiculous part of FOX news is when they had a finance expert who said the reason the markets were failing was not because of the failing American economy because investors were scared of John Kerry's increasing poll support because he would destroy the American economy. .Thursday October 14, 2004
The skeleton shift was working today. I am now the last one working on the project. I didn't win anything in this except by keeping my job and being under extreme pressure to get the surveys done.Friday October 15, 2004
My new flatmates are addicted to Australian Idol. I haven't complained because there is not much on TV. I understand most of the time but their irish accents can be tought sometimes.Saturday October 16, 2004
I went to the musuem of contemporary art and saw some weird exhibits. Things like a smashed up copier, an exhibit of umbrellas, and artwork of people who covered their faces. I went out drinking and when I came back I ran into a homeless person on the way back. Australia's homeless are the most ecentric. He told of how the whole monetary world was going to collapse and I should hive him money because it's going to be worthless. I give him 40 cents it was quite the story and documented too.Sunday October 17, 2004
I went on a cheap city tour for $10. I got to go to Bondi and Manly beaches but it was downcast so nobody went into the water. Their was tons of Germans on the bus. I talked to a few of the guys but the hot girls were just talking German amongst themselves.Last Updated: October 14, 2004
