Missing my Euros

Okay this might come across blatantly racist, but I'm really missing Euro company. Bar the white and silver haired ones, Aussies my own age are just the most DULL conversationalists and maybe it's a cultural thing cos even if they aren't DUMB they talk it! I guess it's a learned cultural behaviour cos this makes people like you more here...if you're dumb or at least act it. More so with men, lol.

Outside of academia, it's really hard to find a decent stimulating and satisfying conversation with people anwhere in my age vicinity in Australia...I think we grew up on too much dumb American TV or something so have learnt to communicate in shallow, equally dumb abbreviations rather than actually be able to form comversant and substantial paragraphs of thought.

This is my only gripe withOz. But hey I'm not here for the people, I'm here for the nature! :D

And THANK GOD for the internet- or I'd shrivel up from the diet full of dumb conversations I'm subjected to with the locals...
