Well, I'd probably say Canada except for Poutine and cold weather. I love big spaces so I guess it'd be Australia.
Quick survey...The right answers will gain you an enter anytime pass into Australia.
Answer these things correctly and you're in!
Ooo, so close, yet so far...
Cobber means a mate buddy or friend. Like with you I might say, g'day cobber or would you like another beer cobber?
So...g'day is pronounced more... without the good part. Sort of G....Day. Not Gee day...G-Day* So, you were close...I'll give you one more question to answer and if you get this right you can come in...
Is Australia an island, a continent, or both?
Both! That's easy.
You're in...GTG! Just show this at customs and say, g'day cobber, G-dog says I could come.
You'll breeze right through and they'll give you a free starter pack including a beer, some Vegemite, Tim Tams and some chicken salt.
1 Yeah, I'm ok with great weather.
2: Bro. More than friend but less than family.
3: I actually worked with some Aussies for a couple of years so I learned to say it RIGHT. gud Eye.
You're in Cobber!
Surly being English all I have to do is commit a crime and it's off to Aus with me:)
Yup that,s why I now live in the tropics
Mate, mucker, pal.
Gudaiy, sport.
You're in mate...To be honest stealing a loaf of bread or apple would have done it, but you passed the test anyway! Drop my name at customs...You'll walk right through.
Cool stick the oven on, I'll bring the pasties🥟
I think if you go down the 'commit a crime' route there is a downside... You have to share a dunnie... Always check beneath the seat for a funnel-web if you do!!!
Nowadays the criminals get sent to the North East of England where I live anyway!
Haha, Geordies, ain't too bad it's the guys across the way in Scouse land you have to worry about.
I've been sharing dunnies all my life with complete strangers so the occasional spider could be worse:)
LOL. Not far off the Geordies and Mackems. I'm in Teesside, we are anonymous really, except for Middlesbrough Football club, I do work with a lad called Scouse (you can guess his accent, right?) 'worry I do' haha.
I find most spiders quite beautiful and pretty friendly tbh... That doesn't mean I would 'like' to share my dunnie with one of course.
Great to cross paths again, all too often, we only get to catchup with people we haven't caught all week in the Weekend Engagement initiative, kinda why I love it :)
Ah, well I'm one of those southern softies and a Spurs fan, sometimes wonder why I bother because they haven't won a thing since I was a young lad.
I'm a bit distracted with getting my life in order as I'm leaving the Philippines in a few days so apologize for the slow response.
I've been to Australia and its amazing!
Unfortunately I'm one of the millions of Americans that's never been to Canada, so I'm not sure what it's like there. I mostly hear good things though.
Hey there, thanks for asking a question...No thanks for making it so hard! Lol.
I'd have to say Australia as we have a very safe and free existence. There's a lot wrong with it at the moment, but when compared with other places those things pale into insignificance. We have a good climate and generally incomes are pretty good. The COVID situation is hitting hard, and our economy was in decline before that, but still, the standard of living is good.
We have a very diverse country with just about everything any other country has from snow to tropical forests, amazing beaches and waterways, arid and desert lands, savanna, native scrub, fertile fields and mountain ranges...It's pretty sweet. It's culturally diverse also so our food is varied, plentiful and of a very good quality.
Having said all of that, I have travelled extensively and there's many places I could settle down however in light of the pandemic situation I think Australia has been confirmed as the best place to be for me. There's merit to having an island and the ability to lock it down.
Disclaimer: New Zealand's south island also appeals to me. Such a beautiful spot.
Great question...Now your turn...Where would you choose and why?
P.s. Glad you are enjoying the #weekend-engagement posts.

I realise I have already asked a question, BUT I heard there was a special on this weekend... Have you ever seen snow in OZ Galen?
You can have this one for free.
Yes it snows here in certain areas. I have seen snow in a few of them including the high country in Victoria, In Tasmania on My Wellington and in Canberra. I'm not into skiing so haven't been to the ski fields per se, but if up high enough one can play with snow. It's odd to think it snows here in Australia I guess, but it does, every year.
Yeah it is strange, considering the perception people have of flaming Oz, I thought I had heard before that it did snow, but it is fab to get some fair dinkum clarification from a bloody native :D
Not sure if I ever mentioned that my Nana's Brother in law came from Highett, Vic, before. Although I may have mentioned that after my Granddad died, my Nana who had never left the country ever went to Oz for 3 months and ended up staying closer to 9 months in the end, in her mid 60's.
Nobody ever knows where life is gonna lead them. I'm sure I am not telling you anything you don't already know or believe lol.
It's a country of contrasts and whilst winters are nowhere near to what Europe experiences we got some snow. It has even snowed here in South Australia but it's extremely rare and only in certain areas...Not enough to ski on of course, just some light snow fall.
Where did your Nana stay when in Australia? Victoria? 9 months is a good amount of time to spend for sure.
