Ha ha, love it! I feel much the same way, having now lived in the UK for longer than I lived in Melbourne, but still carrying an Australian passport…

Yes, it felt funny the day I’d lived longer in France than in Australia!

Wish I had your problem Fraussie :)…to have lived in France so long ..not sure of the oz currency,nor familiar with a prior Prime Minister. Big day in Australian politics tomorrow đ
Cheers Jill
Great story about the barbie, the beer, and Kevin Rudd in Queensland! I miss Australia in many ways, but never the Labour ‘backroom’ politics.
Cheers to a great country.

I quite agree about the Labour “backroom” politics!

I always feel a bit foreign when I go back to Canada. When I was in the UK it was hard to explain to people that I was Canadian but kind of French too and I found myself comparing life in the UK to life in France. I never realy lived in Canada as an adult so it’s hard to compare anything with it.

Yes, I can imagine it must have been even more confusing being Canadian in the UK via France!
Was he once Prime Minister??
I wish I didn’t know who Kevin Rudd was! I miss France so much. I want to live there too
Let’s hope you will one day!

I’ll be following what happens!
Difficile de vivre dans un hĂ©misphĂšre et de suivre ce qui se passe dans l’autre, mĂȘme si vous ĂȘtes toujours australienne ! Il est suffisamment difficile de suivre l’actualitĂ© politique française me semble-t-il… Au fait, je reprends confiance dans mon anglais mais pas suffisamment pour m’aventurer Ă rĂ©pondre dans cette langue. Un jour, peut-ĂȘtre…
I’m sure the time will come when you’ll post in English.
Is this the same Kevin Rudd who was in Paris announcing new educational links between France and Australia ?
– A closer partnership in the pursuit of knowledge
I’m glad I told my story now – after the landslide vote today, no one will know who Kevin Rudd is in six months’ time!
