Q. Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA) A. Depends how much you've been drinking.
Q. I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the rail road tracks? (Sweden) A. Sure. It's only three thousand miles so take lots of water.
Q. Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden) A. So it's true what they say about Swedes.
