I been living in North America for years .....I got fed up with my lot here and have decided to go home to Australia. Now thats going to be a big change .....Not sure why im posting this. Im planning on living in Armadale NSW. I been living in Mexico a long time. Has australia changed much in 10 years?...generally i mean..sorry non question.
Let me see. Domestic air travel. TAA was merged into Quantas. Virgin Blue took up where Ansett left off. Domestic air travel has become much cheaper. There are some other carriers also competing ona smaller scale than the two big ones. Telecommunications. The CDMA network work has been switched off. The 2G network is still going. The 3G network is almost everywhere. Big cities now have the 4G network. There an increasing trend towards people disconnecting their landlines and just have mobile phones. For internet I use an USB dongle. Dial up internet I am fairly sure is no longer available. Aldi supermarkets have taken off. They started selling free range pig and chickens. This prompted Coles to do the same. Bunnings Warehouse has also taken off. There are also more shopping centres than there used to be. There has been a mining boom that has translated into inflated house prices in the capital cities. It caused a rise in the Aussie dollar that made many imported goods cheaper but made local manufacturing less competitive. Mitsubishi has ceased local assembly of cars. The other three have timelines to cease manufacturing. GMH plans to continue research in Australia.
Well maybe it will. Maybe you won't communicate with the people and used to and a lot of things have probably changed. Good luck though if you move back!
It pretty much stays the same every time I go back. Just more buildings being erected. More road works slowing the roads.
Bilby,"Dial up internet I am fairly sure is no longer available." You are not sure are you,we are on dial up and a lot of the people we know are also,NSW's mate so yeah,we still got dial up OK. Humm,get home fast cause whatever we are lacking will be made up by our illusion that we are the lucky country.LOL.
Think they refer to us os as the stupid. Sell everything, quick! As a chinaman said when i was in china. We don't need to go to war with aus, we just buy it....
