RE: From floods to tornadoes - a weekend of devastation in Austria

in Weekend Experiences6 months ago

We have flooding in parts of Australia all the time and they're devastating. Sometimes we get flooding in one part of the country and terrible wildfires in others at the same time, Australia is so huge that weather can be completely different from one place to the next.

Oh wow, you're from Australia! The weather there sounds really intense. It's amazing how different the weather can be across such a big country. I saw on the news how devastating the wildfires are. With such a large area burning, you need a lot of people to save what they can. I remember seeing the terrible fires and how people were trying to save kangaroos. It broke my heart to hear how many animals died. It's impossible to save them all. Nature can be so cruel.I'm not sure if I'll ever visit Australia. Plane tickets are expensive, and you guys have some really creepy small animals. I've seen too many videos of snakes in houses, in toilets, or around the house with lots of spiders. I'm not sure how I'd go to the toilet at night with the chance of a snake being inside, waiting for you to sit down :))

Yep, Australia and yep it's a legit country. Maybe you'll visit someday but there's certainly some things that bite and sting: Snakes, spiders, crocodiles, sharks, irukandji...the list goes on.

Yes, and that's exactly why I have a problem visiting your country. Freaking spiders drive me crazy, crocodiles, not so much :) But first, I need to visit Cuba, my dream destination, and then everything else. I still have time. Plus, considering that I finished tourism school, it's time to take advantage of this profession, even though my job is not related to it. :)

I'd like to go to Cuba also, I'm intrigued and I've heard the people are really nice, mostly, and welcoming.
