[quote=APAULT,251049]Non smoking restaurants.  No smoking signs that are obeyed.  Traffic lights which when they are red mean stop, and flashing green men that mean it is safe to cross the road.

Otherwise - there is little more to add.  I too miss having a car and really being able to get out to see and do things, I miss the Aussie surf and barbies like Jabaroo says.  Yes, I miss civic order, even though on my last visit back to Sydney it seemed that on Friday and Saturday evenings the young (bloody noisy bastards!) have less cultural differnce with the Chinese than perhaps I do.

But Lemoncactus, I am not at all amazed that you miss very little about England.  I left over 20 years ago and have never missed it - why would you miss it?  Most people spend their working life planning and thinking about their next overseas holiday.  What amazes me is that there are not 50 million people queing up to come to Oz!!

All in all... I am not a Sinofile like some of our contributors and I might stay here one more academic year after this one, but after that the beaches and non smoking options in Oz is where I think you'll find me.....UNLESS some lady insists I stay here.............. but I'm not actively working on that one as I am enjoying a quiet peaceful life at the moment!![/quote]
