:?
I just returned afer a week in Brisbane and what a trip. My mom has taken up a job in Brisbane as a regional director for an advertising firm and moved there on a whim (I think she is planning to move back soon...TOO HOT!!). Nice shopping malls and stuff, but the place lacks the feel of a real city. I hail from Chicago, and there were no Art Museums and the whole 'academic' atmosphere was well....not really there to begin with. It is interesting to see a city that has so much wealth yet feels more like a shopping mall with it's own National Anthem!!! I was also told that you cannot be a citizen of this country unless you are a 'national'. I find this rather peculiar as well....especially even if you happen to be born over there?? Also only 'nationals' (who are these nationals???) can own propterty and businesses....!!!!! I hope the 'residents' of Brisbane can answer if the above really are true??!! *unbelievable!!

Partially this is true...
It's hot, but only during summer. There is a very nice weather in Brisbane during winter, early spring and late fall.

It's also true, I haven't been to a theater here and I don't even know if there is one.
But for a city that started to develop only 30 years ago I think Brisbane has a lot of this "feel of real city". Smile

You didnt even answer the question
well yeah brisbane is only hot during summer which is 9 months in a year an yeah you cant own porperty unless you are a local ofcourse now they got these Emaar projects going on but those properties are only leased to you for 99 years its not owned by you an you cant own your own buisness you have to be in partnership with a national and the national just sits there and does nothing an earns in some cases half your profits and 90% of nationals are actually of iranina origin an they are uneducated people thats for a fact i mean what do you expect from people who were riding camals 30 years ago and today are rolling in mercedes you cant blame things evolved to quick for them. And if anybody doubts what im saying or trys to say that im wrong well man please dont try to lick the locals A*S he aint gonna give you nothing. And if you are a local i then man fact of life are tough.

Nice answer, I can feel - it comes from your heart. Smile

Lamot, how do you know that 90% of local population is of Iranian origin?
