I think you have described Australia well. We have retained perhaps a little more of our English heritage than our American brothers, and we do cherish our freedom and wide open spaces. Although, you might find our accent not quite so pretty as the English. I would like to hear more about Romania, and the way of life there. I have been reading about Romania under the communist rule, in the story of Richard Wurmbrand. Do you know it? Are you a Christian? I have wondered, as it has been a long time since Mr Wurmbrand's flight from Romania, is it different now? Are people free to worship God without persecution, or discrimination from the government? Many times his story moved me to tears. I cannot imagine the sufferings endured by the people of your country: our life is so very, very different. Thank you again for commenting on my site here, and over at Urban Daisy. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me. Kindly, Beyondbluestockings.

In fact, it still is, 'couse the ex-comunists lead now and peoples mentality doesn't change from day-to-day. Down my childhood I dreamed to flee in another country: Romanians dreamed mainly to USA (America - the all-possibilities-county, you know). However, I always prefered England, their culture, their music, character, even their emphasis and pronunciation. I could go. I'm architect and our studies were admitted almost anywhere. But I couldn't accept my parents to be haunted out of my fleet. But, if I'd be gone, I'd prefered a more vast place: I like large expanses, boundless landscapes, wandering in endless scene. Australians conserved the qualities from their English ancestors, added some from the immigrants from all over the world and achieved that spirit of freedom due to admixture of races and the lengthiness of the country. I think Steve Irwin embodied the best Australia: culture and sciene, freedom, love for animals, courage, endowment. But I don't want to over-fill your site with my stuffs. I noted your adress and I'll regain the way to your pages. All my best, Dan. Well, you know Romania was a comunist country.
