And DO NOT come here for the drugs... unless of course you enjoy paying 10 times for the worst drugs you've ever come across in your life. The only exception to that is pot and that aint cheap either.
In fact just go to Europe dude...
wow man - you must be in Sydney - it's the only part of the country that could deserve that kind of rap3rdordertrauma wrote:Overtone it really depends on what your reasons are for coming here.

I don't know much about the geography, but I keep hearing good things about the land down under and everyone I've met from Australia is cool. It seems like a potential mecca of coolness. And yeah I also hear the girls are great.
I won't go into details out of respect for the Aussie folks here... I'll just say I haven't been received well here at all!! And I'm a pretty easy going dude. I think things might have been different 10 years ago... maybe before Bush humiliated, betrayed and defaced the American people... but who knows. Sadly I think because of whats going on with America right now Americans aren't received well in lots of places around the world (maybe most places).
If I was you Overtone I'd consider Europe or even staying where you're at for awhile. If you do decide to come down under bring lots of money cause it aint cheap, heres a few things to expect and not to expect:
Expect:
Amazing un-crowded beaches
Crystal clear water
Good looking girls (but there is beautiful girls just about anywhere you go in the world)
Beautiful pristine nature
Don't Expect:
Easy good looking girls
Good beer
Good food
Cheap anything (especially gear)
Good service
Friendly service

no seriously, I've MSNed with the dude, and fellow Abe forum stalwart Pitch Black met up with him last time he was in SF and he's a top geezer - give him a PM and hook up to have some fiesty OT discussions!

If you cant find good food, theres no hope for you finding any good MC'ssweetjesus wrote:i personally dont like aussie hip hope with thelocal accent.
hip hop is nice when it sounds poetic in its flows and 'okka' is not an accent that has any poetic undertone .. the streets from the uk sound very poetic with their local accent however.
the food here does suck (sydney)

i agree about the perspective from the uk may be similar to mine towards chavhop and i do agree its valid culturally but doesnt make it sound any better.forge wrote: I think that's a little bit of cultural cringe and self deprication, but it's every bit as valid cultrually

Sorry to dis your piss... I know its the holy water here, but I just haven't found many nice ones. I grew up in a place where there's a microbrew on every street corner selling fresh quality beer for cheap. Maybe you could recommend a few good ones here? You'll probably bash me for saying this but best I've found so far is the Cooper's Green or Red. am wrote: ...and on a more serious note...you must not be going to the right places to eat... loads of great fresh food in Melbourne town!
Yeah I think you are right forge... I think I am in the wrong part of OZ. I've been to Melly... for a day and it seemed great. I've spent some time in both Sydney and Bisbane and they had decent vibe although maybe not the places for me. Where I'm at now they celebrate the "Independence from America Day" on the 4th of July... which you could probably imagine isn't to warm towards the American folk. I'm certainly not the proud patriotic type charging about with a General Lee flag shooting any derogatory slang... I'm actually mello as they come and love people and I have quite a strong disagreeing opinion when it comes to the US government. I came here open arms cause I had several work mates and girl friends in the states from OZ... all cool as shit, and I had heard nothing but good things about it. But actually being here has has opened my eyes a lot. Like I said I haven't been treated well here at all, first time in my life I felt discriminated against because of simply where I was born (which is probably a good thing to experience). I've had people turn and walk away from me after several minutes of good friendly conversation because they learned I was American and not Canadian. I've seen more violence on the streets of the Gold Coast in a span of about 20 minutes than I have in years of growing up in LA & southern California. I seriously mean no offense but I just have not been impressed with what I've experienced here.forge wrote:wow man - you must be in Sydney - it's the only part of the country that could deserve that kind of rap
you must be in the wrong place 3rdordertrauma - I dont think you'd cop that shit here
I'm really surprised you say all that actually, unless you've been charging about with the General Lee flag shouting about shooting A-rabs
