Wow I could've found a better person to talk to. So comparing AUS to Norway and Swtiz and Sweeden you think AUS is the easiest place for an american to get founded in and not be too far outcasted from the norms because of his accent? I am offly attracted to Sweedens though. The US is too demanding of it's citizens. I also LOVE the outdoors and doing wild things that I'm not normally pushed to do.

Sounds like I need to start planning my trip!

I thought about this after I wrote my posts and from just what I've scoped out from you on here, I think you'd love it. Canadians and Americans are really well received here. People still comment on my accent out in public, which is funny because when I talk to N Americans now they say I'm starting to sound like an Aussie... but it's a really good opening to a conversation if you want to have one. The people who travel here tend to either have a bit of money or have saved up for so bloody long to get here, that they're not the stereotypical N American tourists that you find in Europe. They want to come here and experience Australia, settle down here or whatever. Not just do the typical take pics in front of every scenic point, complain because the food tastes differently, etc

Norway, Sweden, maybe Switzerland... are great for Americans to do a hit and run. Get in there, have a great time, you'll find girls who are drawn to your accent and the Norwegians and Swedes at least get hammered on the weekends so you can capitalise on that. The Swiss are quite reserved though so that's almost a bust but the Red Cross and UN workers from overseas love to party. But if you're going to stay in Scandinavia for any length of time, there's a big chance you'll end up hanging out with Brits and Aussies unless you get into a serious relationship with a local and learn the language. I have quite a few American friends here that I didn't meet through work. They're all through other Aussies. Like I said, if I didn't have it in my head before my son was born that I was leaving here on xx date, and to find myself stuck here 2yrs later because he came 10 days before my flight out, I wouldn't be negative about Australia. I'd still miss home but I'd be happy. The feeling of being trapped though really sucks for someone like me who is so used to bouncing from country to country.
 
Yeah. I'm 100000000000% sure he is NOT married.



I'm 75-80% sure he's not aerogel anyone else. and if he is, I'm the one who is coming and cumming first cause every wknd he's no with the kid he is wig me. It's just week nights sometimes I'm not sure. But we talk everyday via text and Fb chat at work and stuff. I know... I know....

Aerogel is a manufactured material with the lowest bulk density of any known porous solid. It is derived from a gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is an extremely low-density solid, with a notable effectiveness as a thermal insulator. It is nicknamed frozen smoke, solid smoke, solid air or blue smoke due to its translucent nature and the way light scatters in the material; however, it feels like expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) to the touch.

Aerogel was first created by Samuel Stephens Kistler in 1931, as a result of a bet with Charles Learned over who could replace the liquid in 'jellies' with gas without causing shrinkage.

Aerogels are produced by extracting the liquid component of a gel through supercritical drying. This allows the liquid to be slowly drawn off without causing the solid matrix in the gel to collapse from capillary action, as would happen with conventional evaporation. The first aerogels were produced from silica gels. Kistler's later work involved aerogels based on alumina, chromia and tin oxide. Carbon aerogels were first developed in the late 1980s.
