I'm having trouble with this character.  Is he supposed to have some kind of neurological impairment, like Rain Man or Awakenings?  I mean, what the hell am I doing here?

Ok peeps I am reviving this thread but I am going to expand it's horizons at the same time.

Inspired by Comedyman's "ask em a question" thread, this thread is now also open to any questions you have about Australia.

Australia has to be one of the most misrepresented and misunderstood countries among all the developed nations across the world. Unfortunately it is largely Americans because the British know alot about us as do Asia. The 3rd largest tourist group to visit Sydney is people from the USA. I live in a pretty tourist-popular area and I hear all sorts of crazy things people expect to see or do when the hit our shores.

So the open line is free... shout out your questions!

I will refrain from asking the obvious toilet-flushing question and just say:

I am actually pretty ignorant and don't really have any presumptions about australia other than I'd really like to go there sometime. If my wife and I were to go there, would you be our tour guide and show us around all the non touristy places that are usually much more worth seeing than the tourist attractions.

First of all I don't know who or what Anheuser-Busch is and second of all it wasn't an Australian publication that ran they survey?

I don't see Portland in the mix? :P

Anheuser-Busch brews Bud, Michelob, Busch and about 50 other lesser known beers. How Conde Nest could overlook Portland is unconscionable. Actually, I'd love to visit Sidney, it's pretty near the top of my "things-to-do" list.
