mercedo's Journal: Calmness Before Storm

This week I will work like 8, 8, 6, 8, 8, and Saturday is off. The introduction of plot crime is waiting for us.

You're so right. Take Australia: our conservatives are called the Liberal Party, while our other major party, Labour, haven't really represented workers for years since they're only slightly to the left of the conservatives. Then we have the Democrats, who nobody votes for; One Nation, which succeeded in dividing the country on racial issues; and once we had the Nuclear Disarmament Pa

I need to know a little bit about current racial tension in Australia so that I can judge well whether Australia is suitable for me to be the destination of possibile emigration from my country.

I spent 10 days in Sydney in October 1998, I stayed in one backpacker's inn where many foreiners' staying, who are not only Asians but Europeans too. One day we had fire-crackers thrown in our house. The crackers were lit and we had sharp sound and lots of smoke. All residents were evacuated. It turned out to be a ma
