April - hehehe yes we like the eggs overdone in some eateries here and its very hard to keep a decently cooked one in your purse. (I prefer them very softly cooked).

Dunno about the sugar - seems like Aussies got the sweet tooth happening where you were.

Although its probably as confusing for you as it was for me when I was in the States for Easter and there was SO much chocolate mixed with nuts - a totally alien concept to me at the time Tasted nice, in small doses.

I'm not an Aussie, but my sister, brother, father and stepmother are all there - with a coupla stepsisters and their wives/husbands/offspring. They live in NSW, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne.

We visit back and forth about every 2 years or so. My niece has been here for a month - we're all having a rest for a while now she's gone home!

I love to visit.
