Vegemite: It's in every supermarket- you'll have no trouble finding it.
I know plenty of single Aussie guys
But they all live in Adelaide, and it isn't that great a place.
Well I'm in Sydney, am male/single so I obviously am a better choice as a single-purpose tool for Zaia to stay here :)

Some Koreans expect Westerners to like dried squid or sliced snail in hot spicy sauce.

This New Year's Eve I'm taking vegemite sandwiches to the party. :twisted:

Okay first of all that's EVIL :twisted: Rathark I remember a report on the ABC science show, Quantum, and they were analysing why Asians can't really stand vegemite (no this isn't a racist jab, but according to this report most Asian cultures have a hightened sense for a bitter taste). Anyway my question was; who exactly does like vegemite?

Anywho, hated it for the first fifteen years of my life, then realised it was very high in Vit B, great for all night study sessions and if you can stomach it, sobbering up when hung over.


Oh yeah, I too am from Australia. Born in Greece, immagrated at age 5 so there.

Mr Flibble

You think living in Adelaide is bad? Try living out here in Whyalla. Its a back-end go-nowhere hole from hell!

Well I will have to give you that one. But Adelaide does get really dull, hence I am on the internet all the time

Although I haven't been to Tassie, my sister has twice, once on her honeymoon. She really liked the place, so I guess it is a beautiful place to visit, however I wouldn't want to live there.

Ah. See, I would very much like to live there. *wistful sigh* I miss it terribly. :(

Aside from those two headed Tasmanians, it is great spot with a yummy cadbury factory that makes me Cherry Ripes and sweet smelling air.

Don't forget about the sweetness of the water. And those Tasmanians are part of the decor. :wink:

I like vegemite, I will even eat it from the jar (but not a large amount in my mouth at any one time).

You guys are all failures!
