If I had my way I would live there 6 months & Australia for 6 months of the year I"ve been there 8 times & driven around the whole country in 2002 & 2004. The upper east coast states & Montana are the most scenic parts.
My biggest grip is TIPPING for everything over there.
Worst cities L.A, Alanta, New orleans ( sleaze with a capital ) Dallas & the worst city in the states is Gary Indiana where Micheal Jackson grew up.
No wonder he has issues.
The biggest problem is their schooling & media coverage is mainly about the U.S so only if something major happens here most that have not travelled would not have a clue about Australia
By the way most people that bag the Bush goverment on the Katrina disaster. Should look towards pointing the finger at the Mayor & Governor of Louisianna. A interesting artical from the Wall street journal about it.
