Haha, yeah, I totally get that But hopefully he can take proper care of himself

Too bad you can't relax during the holidays, that's the best time to do it ;/ but if it's supposed to help you then go for it *hugs*

Where in Australia is he going?

We don't have rabies here, as far as I know. https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industr ... ers/rabies

Kangaroos are not so common in city areas. If they're around a suburb area it's because we cleared the land they used to live on. If he saw one he'd be insane to fight one. There's a reason we don't drive at night much unless you drive a truck around here where I live, which is semi rural/regional. Because kangaroos are stupid around vehicles. And unpredictable.

Again if he wandered off in the outback, it depends where he's visiting.

Planes are safer than cars. As for it or a car crashing then I can't give advise but I'm guessing chances aren't that high for it to happen.

That said I do understand being worried. Just don't worry yourself sick. <3 he'll be fine.

Well said, River, I ditto that

xD


Well being Australian and living here I do kind of know things about my country. And we don't ride kangaroos to school. That'd be stupid

Lol, someone thinks Australians ride kangaroos to school? XD

Melbourne is good. Also a lot of places here are car journeys. We're a massive country.

And tbh if it were at night I'd say it'd be a bit tricky using public transport. That and you need like these cards for the trams and trains and bus..

Mem - it's a ongoing gag where aussies convince overseas people on the internet that we ride kangaroos to work or school. Or that drop bears are real.

Sorry I disappeared again!

Thanks, I like this avi, too ^.^

And jacob, I totally see why you are worried, especially this "I trust him, but not the people around him" - aspect. But as the others already pointed out, he will be sensible, I am sure :)
Rather try to see the positive things in it, like he's going to have a great time, explore the country a bit, see new things etc. etc. :)
It's also a pretty good idea to work more, in my opinion. It will be distracting, you will help your employer and you're getting paid. Yaaay :D

I also wish I could practice French... I learned it for 6 years at school. I bet I cannot even talk to a stranger now. All I can say is things like 'I'm hungry' 'where is the bathroom' 'I want to buy this please' etc.

But yea, on the other hand my Swedish is doing pretty well! I am so happy!
