As someone who has made it to Australia, you definitly want to go there at least once in your life. If I ever can manage to get a good job over there I am moving. I have a friend who moved to Canberra, and I've also been to Sydney and little towns around it. Nicest people you could ever imagine and the place was a treat. I was there for 3 weeks and every single one of them was awesome. Great place.

I REALLY want to go someday!! Is Sydney the place to go?

Sydney has a population of nearly 4 million people , its a large city depending what your looking for.

Sydney is nice however heavy traffic overcrowded busy , the harbour the opera house some great restaurants and beaches can be cosmopolitan and yuppish.

Wendy if you were to make the trip to Australia you would have to try and spend at least 3 to 4 weeks this way you could get a reasonable glimpse of most parts of Down under and then you would know what suits you.

Queensland is more for adventurous type great combination of city areas together with deserts outback hinterland areas great barrier reef excellent diving fishing etc .

Everyone has different expectations of what makes a good holiday .

Some of my Melbourne and Sydney friends come to Queensland (Goldcoast )get to their hotels stay there and lounge around the pool and thats all they do .

Each individual has their own idea of what is a good holiday ,

The way i see it is study the country you wish to visit work out your schedule based on the time you have and then priorotice your own individual wants and needs .

Similar to the research i assume most of us did before we commited ourselves to the RX8 .

cheers

Sounds like good advice. I like to do all kinds of things....boating, golf, shopping, dining, theatre, scenic tours and just going to the beach! I'd be taking my son so maybe in a few years when he is a little older and his behavior is better!! Thanks for the info!

Damn, bro.. when I saw your second pic and the description of "..me and bikini girl..", I almost hurt my neck lookin' for her. Then I saw the part about "t-shirt...". Ohhhh (disappointment).

The locals here on the Gold coast only look at the ladies if their directly in front of them , they dont bother to twist or turn their necks .

There are some great looking ladies here as many as grains of sand all looking for a good time as long as the guys pay the bills.

They are all models some are last years models .ha ha ha

I havent seen you post any photoes of your new wife anywhere on the net .
You have great shots of your bike and your RX8 but where are the shots of your wife???

I posted shots of my whole family in one of the threads and so have a lot of the forum members so come on dont be shy and post photoes of both of you.

Somehow when i viewed your web page i missed your wedding photoes etc.

Amelia looks like an intelligent fine young lady but very ambitious , i bet she wants nothing but the BEST>????

The photoes are great you are a fortunate man married 193 days i have been together with my wife for 20years married for 17 years .

I find that Chinese girls are very similar to the Jewish girls who marry Doctors (my sister and a lot of her girfriends have done the same coincedence???hmmmm.

These girls are what i call high maintanance( JAPS ) Jewish Australian princesses/ very similar to chinese pricesses? i do not mean this in a derogatory way.

I am sure your wedding , diamond ring , her dress and your weeding cost enough to put a deposit on a property or even get a spare RX8???

The secret to a good marriage is to be good friends and respect each other and support each other through good and bad times .

Ambitious high achieving people can get bored easily so make sure she is kept bussy and stimulated .
As doctors work long hours she will get lonely especially once the honeymoon period wears off .

I found that if a women respects her husband the marriage will be strong and last a lifetime , however once respect is lost hmmm troubles set in .

Dont give in easily to all her desires and request , dont forget history the Chinese , women conquered the great Mongolian armies with their softness and over a 100 year rule they dissapeared from history as one of the greatest warriors of the world /.

My greatgrandfather was said to be A MONGOLIAN who married a Hungarian women ( part of my family history)

ANYWAY enough advice from an old man , you both look like a nice young couple and i hope you have a great life together.

Wakka pointed out what I noticed right away when I saw your kanji. Try http://www.alc.co.jp for E -> J translations. You'll need to install the Japanese language pack if you have Windows.

Shorinji Kenpo isn't bad at all... I prefer it to Kyokushin Karate and Tae Kwon Do. Although Shorinji Kenpo is just Japanized Kung Fu... on eof the northen styles if I remember correctly. I personally prefer Wing Chun Kung Fu,Chi Kung Kung Fu, Aikido, Tai Chi Chuan and a bit of Shorinji... Good luck with the studies!

Thanks for the web information / and your thoughts on martial arts .

I believe kanji is going to increase in popularity as Tom cruise has just released the film "THE LAST SAMURAI", great entertaining film even though not really authentic or accurate.

Ever since i was a child i had a passion for Japan and its culture customs .
My favorite TV show was "SHINTARO" A Samurai that fights against the evil ninjas and protects the innocent.

Most of the local kids played cowboys and indians i would be a Samurai fighting ninjas . he he he.

Cheers

This thread becomes the L&L chat room... like Seinfield - mean nothing!

Thanks for your advice L&L. Oh well... only one wedding in your life so better be a good one. Posting it in the website to avoid losing the memories.

takeshi, I checked out your website.. great pics! btw, you're accent is a real treat for me, as silly as it sounds. It's nice to hear how other asians sound like from around the world.. (yes I don't get out much!).

A past girlfriend of mine grew up in melbourne, she is vietnamese and was thrilled with my "American" accent when we spoke for the first time (we met online).

A dream of mine is to visit Australia someday.. Unfortunately I have a terrible fear of flying.

Lock & Load

Wow

Over 5000 forum members have looked at this site .

If i managed to get all your votes i could possible run for the post of the president of the UNITED STATES .ha ha ha .

Squidward you can easily get over the fear of flying just drive your RX8 at 230km per hour that should solve all your Fear problems.

You can come down to run the Victorian Gov. Get rid of Brackie for me! He is getting too cocky like Kennett later stage. I think it is common for all politicans when they are in government for long. How about Carr?
