Thanks, yeah I'm having a great time here! It'll be nice to have a (possibly) white christmas, though I'm sure the whole 'cold christmas' novelty will wear off come January.
I really prefer the chocolate over here though. Australian chocolate is nice, but we don't have as much choice or variety (no Ripple, no Revels, no Boost!). We do have A LOT of Lindt and Milka though, so I guess every cloud has a silver lining
I'm not really a big fan of spectator sports, so I just avoid watching the cricket really. I was very happy when England won the rugby though. I think because Australia is such a young nation, and not very well accustomed to losing in rugby (well, not to some nations, anyway), it was such a huge shock for everyone there when England beat Oz! Australia, to be honest, didn't see the UK as any real threat and the winning celebrations had already begun before the match had even reached the halfway point! Aussies can be a little gloating and presumptuous when it comes to sport so, yes, I cheered when Johnny scored (that and my best friend, who's English, would have thumped me if I hadn't!).
