Hey gann, aus is cool, I think you'll like it, there are some very sharp mkt players there and mix it well with Asian mkts, esp Hong Kong. Ingratiate yourself with the crowd.
oh yeah...great white sharks...deadliest sea snakes in the world... some very tricky wildlife down there. :eek: best stick to the two-legged variety.
its nice down there. very clean and you can walk in the worst section of Sydney at 4 in the morning without worrying about your safety. The food is lousy unless you frequent the upscale places. Also, the chicks are nothing special contrary to popular opinion. They have a shark net at the opening of Sydney Harbor so you should be safe from Jaws. Bondi Beach is wonderful. I went in the Oz winter so I did not see any bikinis. There is a big gay community and wandering into a gay bar alone might be your greatest risk down there unless you are into that lifestyle.
