    I'm not afraid to admit I arrived here 20 years ago due to a conflict in Europe. Not on a boat though, and kind of as a refugee, as we weren't desperate to leave, but life ahead back there showed no promise. Since my uncle lived here we chose to give this country a shot... And I'm bloody happy to say we made a good choice and I haven't looked back since. Nor do I intend to go back there ever again...
    Others choose to go overseas for holidays, like Bali, Thailand, USA etc... I'm much more than happy to stay on this firm ground personally. So much of this country to see and do, why the hell would you go anywhere else? I've seen more of Aus than most people that I know who were born here have, and a lot of times, ever will. And I don't intend to stop. I'm pretty certain that I cannot be thankful enough to be given an opportunity to start a new life here back then...

    One thing is true though...
    A lot of people though have no idea how good they have it here and how lucky we are, amongst all the other s*** thats happening all over the world today. That goes for a lot of people foreign to Aus, and a lot of people who were born and bred here.
