In many respects AUS does resemble Russia

Australia is poorly developed, and suffers from weak infrastructure, especially internet comms. I have friends in AUS who say they only get 30-50 GB traffic per month, and the costs are high

I'm not kidding, but I could consume 30 GB in a morning

Well said! I think that is a sentiment we can all get behind.

Yet the allusion remains: "It's [all] Greek to me." #1, #2.

I few years ago I was crossing east to west on my motorbike, I narrowly avoided a wombat in the middle of the night on the road at around 140kph.
I'm pretty sure that cute furry fucker nearly killed me.

I bet the wombat was saying the same thing.

Here's a news story I saw about a famous Australian brewery "Coopers" that is having some financial trouble.
