Ah, Australia, land of wonders. Very difficult to immigrate really, you must gain 120 marks, you're bloody lucky if you have relatives there because you recieve +15 addit. marks. Ah, and more, if you know Russian language you'll get +5 additional marks as well for knowing the language of one of their big ethnical communities.
I wasnt that young to watch that. But generally I never watch aussie sopies :D They are terrible, just as they are everywhere else...Quote:
