Kings Cross is Sydney's red light district.
oh my god in heaven!!! thank you for sharing these!!!! this is fucking hilarious, peter. wow, this makes me so happy. somebody has a fabulous sense of humor. and i needed a laugh since im' still running a fucking fever and it's 89 degrees out. but the AC is on its way!!! is it winter for you guys? i know you are opposite to us. or is that austria and i should come naked? :) love love love and gratitude. i was just starting to worry about you and if you were okay and then you showed up on my dumb post. so very glad that you're all right. you're a great friend and im' so grateful.
We've had an influx of drop bears in Sydney lately. It's becoming quite a problem.
Could an American eat Vegemite, and if so, why would he want to?
Because it's delish, Jeff.
Hi Teddy,
please do NOT come naked,it's much to cold,maybe in the summertime.:)

Natalie,
Please don't send up to Brizzie.:)

nanatchay,
Vegemite is very healthy for you,but like most healthy foods,
tastes foul.:)
Peter, you don't like vegemite? We need to ship you off to NZ.
Oh no,not NZ,please Natalie,I promise to be good.:)
Loved these, and happy to laugh at tourists' foibles. Even though they are ridiculous.
Thanks Lea,
It's difficult to believe that those questions were actually asked.
Peter, these are hilarious! Thank you for sharing them with us! I truly appreciate a good sense of humor. I wish I was that clever.
patricia,
Thanks,enjoy your weekend.:)
This was laughinoutloud hilarious. Very funny. One surprising question though (and don't laugh at me) ... is it true that you don't have poisonous snakes in Australia??? I don't believe that but I will ask anyway.
Good laugh Peter. Does toilet water really flush counter clockwise? I understand that Australia used to be a penis colony. Are there any museums or sites to visit?
Yes Harp,we have some of the most poisonous snakes
on the planet here.
I've lived her for 54 years,and have never seen even one.

grief,
everything here runs counter clockwise,especially the people,
after a heavy night out.
Yes,it was a 'penis' colony',and there are still a lot of dumb
pricks around.
Sorry,George,I misspelt your name.
Too funny!!!

I can't wait to wear my high heels at the hippo races!! Woooo! :)
Tink,
You certainly won't look out of place.
We have some 'unusual' people living here.:)
How can anyone capable of asking such stupid ass questions as these be capable of international travel? How?
Ablonde,
Yes,it does make you wonder.
How do they find their way out of bed in the morning? :)
I always find my way out of bed by rolling over in a clockwise direction. I want to visit Australia someday and see Arnold Swartzenegger's birthplace, and catch an ostrich ; but ,that counter clockwise thing sounds scary. Do I just put my head at the foot of my bed, or what?
grif,
May I suggest you try the 'or what' method.
Sadly,Arnold's birthplace is now a shopping mall,don't fret,
a bronze statue has been erected,for all to see,admire, and pay homage to.
The hunt for ostrich's is only conducted in Kings Cross on a
Tuesday,where they sometimes disguise themselves as streetwalkers.
LOL
Brilliant, I needed a laugh. I'm just relieved that not all the questions came from Americans. ;-)
Alan,
Thank God,for the UK,and Germany.:)
This is fantastic! I love the one about the rattlesnakes. I think it was at that point that my eyes began popping at this post in disbelief. But I don't know why. I am a HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH teacher. In America, of all places. And I've seen some sad sad sh** and government experiments on my watch. Thank you!
