Brisbane is nothing like America, where people can buy houses at 1/4 of the price we do and can buy everything they need at half the price, like furniture appliances and cars. American has 10x more cities than we do.

Brisbane is a shit area and peaked in about 1985-1995 according to my dad. He finished HS just before Expo88 and said it was probably the best time to live in Brisbane. He said that back then you could barely even see one person who was from India or Asia.

Your dad is from where overseas? Russian? Yugoslavia? Polish? South Africa? I'm picking places that aren't Asian or Indian.

To be honest, it sounds like it was shit. How did he get a good curry? Or kick ass dumplings?

This is the new world. Everyone is here. The whole world lives in Australia. That's what makes it great.
