Misop,

Well, you're not alone in being pig-ignorant:) Even on the best TV knowledge-contest programs like MasterMind, sometimes I'm surprised at how drastically wrong some answers are about geography. 'Of what country is Nuku'alofa the capital ?' 'Bahrain'. 'In what state or territory is Uluru ?' 'South Australia'. Look them up, Misop.

So you're in plenty of ignorant company. Yes, you may be right, that many people overseas think of Australia as being part of Asia, and therefore that Australians are Asians. Frank Sinatra thought that we all spoke Spanish. Most Australians aren't aware that all of the main towns and villages across the entire north of Australia were bombed by the Japanese, not just Darwin, from Charters Towers around to Port Hedland, and inland to Katherine.

Poor boy, so much to learn ........

Joe

FOULmouth,

You sound disappointed that the Asianisation of Australia has achieved its purpose of making Australia part of Asia, giving us out Asian identity and making Australia an Asian nation-state.

You helped it happen and now you're all upset about it. There's absolutely no pleasing some people, not even a little Maoist pie-maker from Melbourne like yourself.

I have a lot of pleasant associations with Australia. I have been there a few times, and I do hope that I will be able to make many new trips in the future. I have discovered a great resource there and it is https://edonlinestore.net/. This store offers food supplements that can significantly improve your relations with the partner. I have tested some of them and can say they are very helpful.
