My PI is headed to Sydney in a few weeks. I would love it if he asked me to help out with the meeting logistics.

i want to live in aussieland. it sure is pretty there. new zealand is also a place i think about. aussieland doesn't do a whole lot of anything with regard to leading in world events or anything but they sure do make good use of US innovation. For example, their fine military use US aircraft and their Army uses US tanks and helicopters and their navy no doubt uses some US made and/or designed equipment. I bet their hospitals are full of US innovation. The country is most likely overrun with IBM mainframes and Microsoft and Apple PCs all loaded with US software. You really have to admire how well they have implement US innovation.

anyone know if aussieland has any universities on par with Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, oh the list of great US universities is so long there is no way I can list them all.

I had a flat-mate years ago that was a goofy Australian lesbian. She was the perkiest person I've ever met.

And Im so going to pig out on meat pies, fish and chips, and chicken rolls!!!!! woohoo!!! lol. Up here in Seattle we can get Schweppes mineral water and Gingerale but thats all i can find . Here is a picture of one of my favorite places in Australia. Me and Damien went here on my first visit over and stayed in the rain forests up from apollo bay. What a beautiful place, you certainly dont get stars in the US like you to in Australia, and at night we went hiking on the paths int he forest and there were glow worms! It was amazing! Anyways the pic is one i shot of 12 apostles. Such a gorgeous place.

And the next shot is of the sunset over Damien's neighborhood down in Melbourne.

Eric is my fiance Stateside and I just asked him what he misses here (aside from myself & my kids lol ) He said he misses Tim Tams and my mum's cooking LOL He is still reeling over the cost of things here in comparison to the USA...things are more expensive here.

From over there aside from him I miss Cracker Barrel, Dunkin Donuts, Orange Cheese (LOL) and the gorgeous countryside whenever we went out on the Harley *sigh*

I can not get there fast enough!
