Nisam bio sarkastičan - stvarno je (bwe) sve sterilno... napose beli ljudi.

Eto ti. 50% indeed. Internet komunikacija sucks.

Jos jedan dodatak. Za one koji vole/prate one sportove popularne kod "kuce".
Ukoliko nemas kablovsku/satelitsku u AUS mozes da pratis uglavnom samo neke "egzoticne" sportove tipa: kriket, futi (ne pitajte sta je to), konjske trke, razne vrste vodenih sportova (sem vaterpoloa) i sl. Za mene koga uglavnom interesuje fudbal i basket ovo mesto je nocna mora....

Kriket je više od "praćenja sporta", to je de facto religija ovde i totalna je smetnja za socijalizaciju ako ništa ne znaš o kriketu (niti želiš da znaš). Šta ćeš, ljudi preferiraju sportove u kojima mogu da pobeđuju (jer ih slabo ko drugi igra).

Za nekih 50-60 dolara mesečno može i ta noćna mora da se izbegne -- a nije baš ni sve tako crno na državnoj TV... baš ima poprilično fudbala na SBS-u.

Nije svuda tako -- u Melburnu na primer, kriket je daleko iza futija u popularnosti, a u poslednjih par godina mi se čini i da ga je fudbal prestigao. Futi ovde vlada neprikosnoveno, i teško je naći situaciju u kojoj nije glavna tema razgovora (bar dok traje sezona, koja nažalost upravo počinje.)

(Za one koji ne znaju, 'futi' tj. footy je skraćenica za "Australian Rules Football", sport izveden iz irskog fudbala, sličan ragbiju - ektremno popularan u Viktoriji, gde je nastao, dok je u Novom Južnom Velsu ragbi popularniji.)

Hvala Bogu za SBS (ne samo zbog fudbala...)

Verujem, ali ovi ovde (unutrašnjost NSW) uopšte nisu normalni. Ja sam mislio da je naš svet zaluđen za fudbalom u Srbiji, ali to se uopšte ne može porediti sa ovim. Najgore je što kriket ima svoj rečnik koji samo kriketaši razumeju, tako da ne možeš čak ni uspešno da se foliraš da pratiš diskusiju.

Ne preterujem kad kažem da većina osoblja ("pravih" Ozija samo, ofkors) ima kriket palicu u svojoj kancelariji (barem po jednu) i naravno svako malo trče na travu da se gađaju onom tvrdom lopticom. Neki ne-Oziji su pokušavali da se asimiliraju, ali su brzo odustali posle većeg broja masnica od kriket loptice. Ja nisam ni pokušavao...

Kao da samo praćenje sporta nije dovoljno smaranje, zadnjih par godina su potpuno opsednuti nekakvom internet igrom (valjda klađenjem) u vezi kriketa. Gore nego ja sa forumom, 'leba mi. B)

Pre bih se iselila u Australiju ,nego u Kanadu. Zbog klime. Mrzim zimu. Drugarica iz Australije mi je bila pre neki mesec u gostima i uopste nije ponela ni jakne ,ni deblje dukserice ,ni odgovarajuce cipele. Zivi u suptropskoj klimi i sve joj to nije potrebno. Lepota ! Ne zaradjuje bas mnogo ,u dugovima su ..ali ima ispunjen skroman zivot...ono sto u njihovim uslovima znaci skroman...znaci normalan. Ovde bi se grcila u svakom smislu.

Ovo gore vazi za Melburn i uopste Viktoriju - u Sidneju je 'footy' skracenica za Rugby League, koji je lokalno najpopularniji sport. Evropski ragbi se ovde zove Rugby Union - ali da se ne ponavljam ...

Share & Enjoy

Pod jedan) Znas li ti koliko pelena moze da se kupi za ove pare mesecno? To ti govori otac blizanaca ispod dve godine Kad dodjes u moju poziciju pocnes da razmisljas "komada pelena" a ne "pare".

pod dva) Jeste da ima fudbala na SBS-u ali u malo nezgodnim terminima. Doduse, ono, moze da se snimi pa odgleda posle (ukoliko ti blizanci iz prvog dela dopuste, that is). A sta cemo sa basketom, rukometom, vaterpolom i sl.? Dakle sve ono sto ostavismo u otadzbini?


A sad ozbiljno, ako zanemarim par sitnica ovo je dobra zemlja za zivot. Naravno ukusi su razliciti (vec beshe jedno prepucavanje na ovu temu, k'o pomenu Hefestusa?).

Inace, kad bih mogao opet da biram destinaciju za iseljenje, posle ovih nekoliko godina iskustva-opet bih izabrao Australiju.

Ne vidim neku razliku glede slanine,cvaraka i dragacevskih trubaca!

A od kuda ti pade na pamet seljacki turizam?

Ti ljudi zive tamo, nisu turisti!

Australiju ne poznajem,Kanadu obozavam ( ljubav vazi uglavnom za BC i Albertu),
nosila sam se mislju jedno vreme da se iselim tamo, ali je nekada i leti
jako hladno i kisovito, tako da sam ipak odlucila da ostanem tu gde sam.

INDEPTH: AUSTRALIA
Canada v. Australia
CBC News Online | December 10, 2003

Statistics Canada announced that in the late 1990s Canada's living standard grew at the same rate as Australia's.

That achievement was significant given that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said Australia had one of the "miracle economies" of the 1990s.

"From 1995 to 2000, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Canada increased at an annual average rate of three per cent," Stats Canada reported in December 2003. "This occurred despite a widening gap between the two countries in terms of labour productivity."

Australian productivity rose at an average annual pace of 2.5 per cent during the five-year period, compared with 1.5 per cent in Canada.

"How could Canada increase its standard of living as fast as Australia, but be less productive?" the agency asked. "The answer is related primarily to differences in their labour markets.

"Canada's performance in terms of the growth in its living standard comes largely from a significant increase in the growth of labour utilization, that is, the combination of higher average hours worked and a higher rate of employment relative to the total population."

In 2001, GDP per capita in Canada was about $28,900, slightly higher than $27,300 in Australia.

Statistics Canada said the countries have many similarities that allow comparisons.

* Both countries are net importers of production technology. Machinery and transportation equipment represent about one-half of total imports of both countries. Both countries import the bulk of high-tech equipment from the United States.

* Both countries have abundant natural resources. Both countries are rich in natural resources such as iron ore, copper, nickel, zinc, gold, lead, diamonds and natural gas.

The structure of these economies are dominated by the primary sector: 55 per cent of Australia's exports are in the form of raw materials compared with 46 per cent for Canada.

Here is a comparison of Canada and Australia in other areas:

Environment

Canadians have more space to roam (9,220,970 sq. km) than Australians (7,617,930 sq. km) but the Australian climate is far more welcoming.

Australians live on the driest continent on Earth. Their country is generally arid to semi-arid, with a temperate setting in the south and east and a tropical one in the north. Canada's climate, in contrast, varies from temperate in the south to sub-arctic and arctic in north.

While Canadians spend Christmas with Jack Frost nipping at their noses, Australians spend the holidays soaking up the sun. They can celebrate Christmas at the beach, just as they can go skiing in August. Down Under, the seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. But even in their winter, Australians enjoy blue skies and warm, bright days thanks to the Earth's tilt.

Population

Perhaps that's why Australians live a little longer. Australians, on average, live 80.1 years, a few months longer than their Canadian counterparts (79.8).

If there's strength in numbers, Canadians should take heart. There are more than 1½ times the number of Canadians (32,207,113) roaming the planet as Australians (19,731,984).

Most Canadians (66 per cent) are Caucasian as are most Australians (92 per cent). Though both countries are predominantly Christian, Canada's largest denomination is Roman Catholic (46 per cent) while Australia's is Anglican (26.1 per cent).

Australians are more literate than Canadians. The literacy rate Down Under is 100 per cent, three per cent higher than in Canada.

Law and government

Both the Canadian and Australian legal systems are based on English common law. Queen Elizabeth II is the official head of state in both countries and is represented by a governor general. Both Australia and Canada are parliamentary democracies headed by prime ministers.

Icons

Both countries have furry mammalian icons, but that's where the similarities end. While Canadians embrace the industrious beaver, Australians revere the feisty kangaroo.



The beaver was Canada's first natural resource. At one time, beaver pelts were the unit of currency in the new land. The beaver population was almost wiped out by the mid-20th century. Conservation measures have restored their numbers to healthy levels.



The Australian government protects the kangaroo. There are more kangaroos in Australia now than when Australia was first settled. Big Red is a chewing gum in Canada. In Australia, it's the affectionate name of the most popular kangaroo, the red kangaroo. Big Red or Old Man Red, as he is also known, is depicted on the Australian coat of arms.


Language

Canadian: Hello!
Australian: G'Day

Canadian: Dig in!
Australian: Bog in!

Canadian: Excellent! Very good!
Australian: Ace!

Canadian: To drink alone
Australian: Drink with the flies

And our favourite:
Canadian: He's intellectually inadequate.
Australian: He's got kangaroos loose in the top paddock.
