  Two things of interest, last night I saw Day After Tomorrow with urlLink serp and really liked it. Okay I cried most of the way through the movie but I was all emotional anyway and I still thought it was great. Very powerful. Makes me happy I live in Australia! The second thing was at dinner the other night, I was chatting to Imam about our respective religions, he is a Sunni Muslim and he was telling me that when he travelled to America he noticed they were quite full on about their religion, whereas in Australia he noticed that a lot of the churches were empty on Sunday. Also some idiot Australian teacher told him in Indonesia that it was considered a taboo in Australia to talk about religion?! News to me! Anyway he said that in Indonesia religion is so important as a topic of conversation, people immediately want to know what religion you are to the point where it's mandatory to have a religion on your ID card, you can't put 'none'.
I wonder if you would be allowed to put Jedi? Anyway Imam said he'd asked some Aussie guys what religion they were and they had responded with 'footy'. He said he was surprised and didn't quite believe him until he went into the city last weekend and got up in the post footy crowds and was amazed! So funny to see your country through the eyes of another, especially an Indonesian Sunni who is shorter than me!
He is such a nice guy though I hope I keep in contact with him. I told him I appreciated talking to him about Islam because I didn't know a thing about it and there's not much in the Australian media about it. The next day I was sitting in a cafe with my Mum and she comes out with "I think Australia is in serious danger of being invaded by Indonesia".
Bad move Momma, and I let her have it. I told her that her generation seems to have been poisoned by this idea and I had no idea why given they were a collection of islands, not a whole continent, that they are very territorial about where they come from, i.e. the argument that no Javanese is going to want to call himself Australian etc etc etc and she shutup. She desperately tried changing the subject but she should know better than to get me started! ;D
