1 It should be Down Under

2 At the first sitting, they introduced the White Australia Policy, not our finest hour

3 I used to sing it at the pub on Friday night

4 The Queen?

5 Shit food

6 No room for jokes on this one - the great John Travolta

7 Most important, please note - RUSSELL CROWE IS A KIWI, NOT AUSTRALIAN

Number 8 is Queensland, and the extra hour of sunlight DOES make the curtains fade.

9 Let's see if the Kiwis know

10 Kangaroo meat

11 Kissing down under?

philbravery:

I wonder how many of our comrades are googleing  the answers?

I will post answers on Thursday

as for Kiwi's we have claimed  

We are nearly as bad as the Yanks claiming Canadianscool

I'm English, we don't have a national day .

The closest we come is St George's day Apr 23rd. So no biggy, it's not something I've ever celebrated (apart from sometimes wearing a rose to antagonise the Scottish at my former work), so it's not something I miss.

mArtiAn:

  Don't be sad, son. Don't you know? 'Every' day is National British Day! I like to celebrate it by walking into strangers homes and telling them to piss off out of it.

Dude, you even got me on a couple of those!!!

 

#3 - two hits???? Yeah, I spose! I actually had their... tape? Tongue

 

#5 - as Traveler said - shit food! (also, if you're a Bris-vegan, it's the place you meet in the mall Tongue)

 

#8 - agreed! It DOES fade the curtains (I can explain if to you if you like!)

 

#10 - Gary???

 

#11 - ... nope.......

Btw, here in Hangzhou, there's maybe... 20+ Aussies (and close to half of them from Qld!) One of they guys is good mates with a restaurant owner and his yank chef, so we're having a big day for it... including the meat-pies (not 4n20, but anyway...), and they have piles of VB, XXXX, Cascade etc. Might get the J's on for the music (not that I really like it, but the accenting and all...). too bad the weather probably won't be good enough for a bbq

When in the US...BBQ, fireworks, booze.

 

When in China...I wear my Captain America t-shirt to work and sing songs about shooting redcoats (those songs actually exist, right?)

Shining_brow:

I hadn't heard #11... I should remember it!

 

Phil - "The Goanna band"???? Is that like "The Cold Chisel band"? :p

 

 

Traveler - given that the TV stations would change their airing schedules to daylight savings, it would mean that the 6pm news (for example - or The Goodies on ABC :p) would then actually be on at 5pm*. So, in order to watch it without the glare from the extra sunshine, you need to close the curtains... which in turn, would obviously fade the curtains from the extra exposer to the sun! D'uh!

 

 

(and, since QLD is so much further north than NSW or Vic, that 5pm looks more like 4pm...)

The fact that no one knew the answers hurts the feelings of the Australian people.

That's okay Traveler, you can bask in your 40,000 years of history to make you feel better.

I'm Irish.  Many years ago, the Irish decided to export our national holiday, principally to over-enthusiastic and often dubiously self-titled "Irish Americans".   Meanwhile, in Ireland, most of my countrymen just do what we do all year round.  Drink. A lot. And maybe wear some token green.  But surprisingly little fanfare about the whole thing. 

 

Haven't done it in China yet, but March beckons.  I'm no futurologist, but there's a fair chance of a p*ss-up.

 

sorrel:

I hosted a fun party in a local coffee shop. They had to turn people away it was so crowded. All food and drink was coloured green for the occasion. The owner asked me to do the same next year, but I will be in a different city. there was bad singing and worse dancing, but everyone had a good time, especially those who arrived in green hats !!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
