    One of my all time favorite songs may have influenced my picture of Australia. Until I've seen something contradictory with my own eyes I will keep believing those lyrics are true.

    Where do I come from? Sweden. Just to make things clear, Sweden is not exactly the same as Switzerland. Switzerland is also a nice country, but Sweden may be the one of the best there are (in my opinion...). At the moment we're having "Swedish summer" which means the weather is increadibly hot (around 21°C / 70°F) and the sun hardly sets. I suppose the climate/daylight is similar to what it's like in parts of Canada.

    I'm currently in Pasadena, Newfoundland (the easternmost province of Canada). It's also where I'm originally from, but in between I've lived in St. John's Newfoundland; Calgary, Alberta; Fort McMurray, Alberta; and Birmingham, UK.

    Similar depending on where in Canada you're talking about...it's a big place Although it does sound like what we currently have here...~16hrs sunrise to sunset (but daylight is even longer) and average daily temps in the mid 20's celcius. All in all, very comfortable this time of year.

    We are having a Brisbane Winter. Last night our minimun temperature was 18 degrees C. That was a record maximum minimum, if you know what I mean. It usually is a bit colder, like about 10 degrees at night. But I put up with it.

    HD, According to Google maps you live on a street corner that doubles as 'Salon Zen'.

    Occasionaly I have to move to a diffrent street corner, when the police run me off.

    But I should have said "close to" that location, I am about 10 miles away.
