The Asia + the Antipodes Thread

Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because
1. You're now several kilometres away; and
2. You've got their shoes.

Sounds like a bit of trouble down the road.

its pretty hard to see a good outcome, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.
to get a sense of the levels of outright frustration at the system - one of the independants is trying to form a government across party lines.

Sounds little bit like our North/South divide.

The unique part about australia is just how harsh and empty it is - as a land mass its not much smaller the USA, yet only supports 1/10 of the population.
So you would have to ignore all the middle bit of flyover states (thats hot sand) and reduce it to having california and new york next to each other on the east coast while all the rest is texas.
no prizes for guessing why we are 2 countries.

Noddy, what pork barrel are both sides going to offer the suddenly famous three independents, and which way will they bend?
WA may generate wealth, but Perth is the most isolated major city in the world.

Looking at the above map, the territorial claims by China as best described as laughably absurd.
Take one step off the beach in Borneo into the sea and one would immediately be in Chinese waters.

Never figured out what BRUNEI suppose to mean ? ?
Brunei, Kuwait, UEA and a few other oil wells with flag do not make sense in ..
