Tell Us about your country!!!

We now have a female Prime Minister - Julia Gillard. (became PM in quite amazing circumstances!!)

Our national sports include Australian Rules Football (Go the Crows!!), Cricket, Rugby (union and league).

Amazing circumstances meaning stabbing the last PM, from her own party, in the back... yep!!

Boo AFL. Our national sport is backyard cricket... which differs from normal cricket as the batters and bowlers must have a beer in one hand at all times!

I'm sure everyone here knows about it, since it probably has forced itself into your country's business sometime or another and caused more problems than it solved.
I'm feeling cynical today.

Oh yes it's the same chain, they've started expanding in to the northern states, I'm kinda thinking there's probably not as many in Ohio as there is here there is literally one on every corner and they ALL make money, it's an insane Canadian cult LOL
But I gotta tell you even though I don't drink coffee I'm a member of that cult, I'm addicted to their Iced Cap's in the summer and french vanillia's in the winter...sooo good .

See... yet more proof of our "secret twin" status! LOL I also am not a coffee drinker (total tea addict here [Only admins are allowed to see this image] ) but I do like things like toffee capuccino and so forth!

Yeah, I knew Tim Horton's was a northern chain but I didn't know it was so big in Canada!... I'm in southwest Ohio and we don't have 'em here yet, but we're about the only corner of Ohio without them. An hour either north or east and they start appearing! I grew up in northern Ohio close to Pennsylvania border and there are some up there, and lived in the other northern corner for quite while close to Michigan.

hahaha you want to come visit? sorry, but i never really thought anyone would want to visit Singapore! haha, you are very welcome here!
Yep, it's so small... we do not have a capital. And I can get from one end of the island to the other in 2 hours. Using public transport (Y) But I guess that's a good thing! I can travel anywhere i want!
