Ciao, ciao DUer's: Australian's have it really good - we don't!
Edited on Thu Sep-30-04 10:14 AM by devilgrrl
I'm having a marvy time in Italia. My tour group consists of 10 Australians and an Irish/Canadian.

Did you know that Aussies get 4 WEEKS!!!! (in some cases 5 WEEKS!!!!) of vacation a year?????? God Damn! they have it good.

I have to go home from Italy after two weeks, one couple is going on to Morocco and Egypt, a few others to Northern Italy and one on to Ireland. Can you believe that?

They were also surprised to hear that only 5% of Americans even posses a passport!

The US is f***ed up man! :grr:

1. Have a lovely trip.
Is that true about only 5% of Americans having a passport???

4. I'd guess that it was less than 5%.
Aside from watching the donkey-shows in TJ (no passport needed), we Americans either don't like or can't afford traveling abroad.
