Sheila About Town
The musings of a 20 (something) Aussie girl living in Christchurch, New Zealand… Firstly, moving to New Zealand in winter was a huge mistake.

The Best and Worst things about the USA

What the world thinks about Australians
1. No, I do not ride kangaroos everywhere or have them as pets Look, as much as I’d love to nod and say yes, I do have a pet joey named Skippy who use to hop me to school and play with me in my back yard, I can’t I’m sorry. As a result of pesky foreign advertisers, the people of the world think...
