Okay, so I've decided that I'm going to make a move in the next few years to Canada or New Zealand. I'm embarrassed to live in the U.S. anymore, although I do live in one of the best cities (SF). Anyway - to get to my question...if I have a child in New Zealand do they automatically become NZ citizens? I know in Austrailia the kid has to be 10 before getting citizenship. I went to the immigration website and I couldn't find anything...Are you a U.S citizen living in NZ and what has your experience been like?

Having been to sydney, perth, melbourne and canberra, i had realised they've all had serious housefly problems in the summer. Everywhere you walk, they'd swarm all over you. But in winter, they'd all have disappeared.

So what i want to ask is, do colder states in australia not have the housefly problem? For example, adelaide and tazmania in the summer?
How about New Zealand? do they have this problem with flies in the summer?

A couple of years ago I was in Sydney and I had rented a car. I was driving in the Tunnel under Sydney Harbour and there was no traffic, So I was really moving, going maybe 150. Not like a child is going to run out in front of me (the reason why I don't normally drive fast, especially in residential areas.) or a cop would be hiding behind a tree, (The reason I don't normally drive really fast on the motorway.) there was nowhere for a cop to hide! Where I'm from the gov't hasn't got there act together at all. So things like speed cameras are non-existant. So, several months later I am in a bookstore where City Road runs into George street, across the street from the big mall where Kmart is and I see a book of maps of the city of Sydney that says on the cover that it labels where all the speed cameras in the city are located. This book says that there are cameras in the tunnel, but I didn't get a ticket? Maybe because it was a rental and they never sent me the ticket? What gives?

I am writing an essay on the representation of queer sexualities in the media, and how they feature in aiding the process of hetero-normativity and capitalist consumerism.

I must make reference to the representation of 'queerness' on Australian television.

So far I have thought of Queer Eye for the Straight guy (which is also screened in Australia) and Big Brother characters.

Can anyone think of any others, and if so, do you know where I could access them (websites, common video store etc.)

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm moving to Australia in January from the United States. Can I use my TV if I plug it into a converter? I do not plan to get cable or satellite. I would simply use the TV for watching DVDs and letting the kids play their games.

Thanks.

Hey there, I know that there was another question like this, but I am looking into studying abroad in Australia. The program I would take part of gives me options at ANU(Canberra), UofMelbourne, Monash u(melbourne), UofAdelaide, U of s.wales(sydney), UofWallongong, U of Queensland(Brisbane), UofSydney, UofW.Australia(Perth), and Uof Tasmania(Hobart).
So far I have liked what I have heard about Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane. I enjoy beaches and beautiful scenery, and I also love the city vibe. Weather really isn't an issue. But what about the schools and how they fit in their many locations? Thanks to anyone who helps me out, and I no matter where I go, I know its going to awesome!

I have backpacked my way extensivley through Europe, the America's and Asia pacific (am yet to do Africa). I have had relations with many different girls, but I seem to be infactuated with the australian women.
They are just so natural beautiful, charming, funny, their like your best friend and can go surfing or crack a joke and still look gorgeous! (and their skin is really smooth)
What are other peoples expeiences with aussie women?
Is this what most aussie women are like (without generalising) or am I on a winning streak.
Cheers guys.
