really? why? where are you living now?
Don't take it personally, but I know about 20 Australians and I hate them all. They all went to Bologna on exchange though, so I guess that they're interchangeable in a way and don't really represent Australia. Nonetheless they were complete idiots. None of them spoke Italian after a year, they were always mocking local customs and they had this intense culture of thanking each other for every fucking little thing and asking for forgiveness every other minute. They were horrible.

I remember asking for an apple once (some of the Australian guys had just gone to the market and bought a shitload of apples). I got the apple and I thanked him and gave him some money for it too, but him and his girlfriend were angry for weeks because I wasn't "grateful enough".

Fucking morons.

they sound like morons, if they go to a country regardless of where it is they should learn the language.

i speak italian, being italian myself, not perfectly but pretty well, when i go there i get back to speaking it perfectly but i lose it a tad when i get back here and dont exercise it.

they sound like idiots, we have our fair few here, there is quite a bit of ignorance here, i guess there is everywhere but. Were they italian? I hate when people mock customs of other nations, its so stupid. They probably are just an ignorant bunch, i assure you we are not all like that.

where are you from seven?
but we do have out fair few bogans.

I'm Belgian.

Some of them had Italian ancestry, but most didn't IIRC. The majority was from Sydney and they tended to make fun of Melbourne people all the time even if there was no one from Melbourne in Bologna :D.

That said I did meet a Melbourne guy on the train once and his accent was quite peculiar.

they were most likely just bogans, ignorant bogans.

a bogan being like a redneck.

accents dont really change from melbourne to sydney so it was most likely just this guy's odd accent.

i would say people from melbourne in general are more cultured than people from Sydney, probably not much of a difference though.

He's going grand, the brakes are a bit squeaky other then than that I'm getting about 550 miles from a tank.

Gear ratio is pretty shit though, 3rd gear is too low for 50Kmph but 4th is a bit too high.

Hows the Audi goin?
well i miss going on long distances (+200kms)... but it's alright, i like the 2 climatronic heating/coolin' system. It comes really handy on these hot days. I'm doing like 700 km's with my 70 liters tank. A bit too much but it's a big engine and i always like to step on it
