I've done very little that involves putting pencil to paper in the last few weeks, because all of my creative energies have gone into things like Christmas shopping and organising. That may not sound particularly creative, but for me, it is. The rest of my energy has gone into trying to fit everything into my already-too-heavy suitcase. Seriously. What's that about. Crazy Australia and its 20kg luggage limit. THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. America gets 32kg and we only get 20kg? What? Is the implication that Australians are somehow heavier than the average American, and thus have to make up the difference with lighter luggage? Or do we Oceania folks just cop it because we're 'special'?

On that note, I find it absolutely hilarious when non-Australian English speakers here call us 'convicts' as some sort of insult. First off, my ancestors were convicts. I'm ok with it. Seriously dude. I think it's kind of cool (and besides which, if you look at the way convicts were treated, we should be getting all compensation on yo' behinds. You know , if we hadn't been criminals and all). And secondly, wait, is the best running insult for Australians currently 'that a really long time ago, you had a lots of naughty Brits'? Really? Man. Now, see, if anything Australian ever made world news (apart from the fact that Bindeez, aka Aquadots produce GHB (commonly known as the date-rape drug) when metabolised in the human body, but I'm willing to bet that the Australian scientists that figured that out aren't exactly world-renowned yet), the running insult would be 'Haha, you have no water'. We've been in drought for over a decade, our water restrictions ban us from doing most things others take for granted (I see people using garden hoses here and I cringe), and to top it off, the East coast gets ravaged by devastating bushfires each and every Summer.

I'm probably deluding myself, but for my own sake, I'll assume that the reason no one makes fun of these things is because Australia is just all-round too awesome to pick on in the modern sense. You have to go back to our origins for material.

I guess I must be feeling patriotic. I'm just really, really missing Cadbury chocolate and sausage rolls. Oh, and I just discovered, Cadbury makes GUM in Japan. Gum, but not chocolate. It's so messed up I want to cry.

You're flying Jetstar or Virgin eventually aren't ya? They have an up to 20kilo free limit, but past that you have to pay (as I found out on my '06 Manifest pilgrimage when Jetstar charged me $70 excess, oy. Would've been cheaper just to pay the extra for Qantas in the first place). GG Qantas and their 32kg luggage limit.


Gotta love the convict "insult" too. I love going "Yeah, and?" And watching them deflate, their carefully constructed "wit" completely ricocheting off in the wild blue yonder. :XD:

Yeah, it's with Jetstar. It was over $700 cheaper than the cheapest competing airfare, so I'll still be saving. From the Japan end they let you go up to 25kg for free (off the record) but strictly charge after that. I had to pay an extra $40 last Christmas.

Oychiwowwa, $700! Hmm, yes even with excess charges you'd still be saving a packet!
