I am from Brisvegas! Brisbane, Australia. I moved here from my home, which had about 150 people living there. I've been in Brisvegas about 3 years all up...

It's a nice place. Safe, clean, fair rent prices, in fact everything's pretty fair here. The weather is usually pretty good, except in summer. Tomorrow promises to be 41 degrees, Sunday 45! I think I'll die!

I'm going to England in January of next year to work for a year and visit Europe in my time off. My great-grandmother was Danish... so i think i'll visit Denmark.

There's quite a range of nationalities here... it's great!

I asked Fluffy "So, how's in Serbia" and she answered "Great! The wetter is bad, cold, then warm, then warm, it makes her nervous. how's in Croatia?"

Happy now?

U Hrvatskoj? Isto je vrijeme bezveze. Sad je hladno a prekjučer je bilo toplo. A ja želim da bude hladno! Kako to da si dobila rusko ime?

I must find that thread!Well we pronounce it on a specific way which is only used in Croatia and Serbia as far as I know(we have same language roots)all to thanks to good old Vuk Stefanovich Karadzich,his moto was;write as you talk,read as it's written-at least I think,that would be translate like that

Bosnian has the same way of pronouncing too. Slovenian I belive, maybe even Hungarian - but I'm only guessing
We write as we say. In Croatia "say" we would write "sej" because we pronounce it like that. But in our language there is no Y,X,Q,W and there are some other letters you don't have.

Wow Choki! Japanese is very hard, isn't it? I mean, it's writing is very hard because there are so many symbols.
Does Chinese have so many symbols?

I would have to disagree with you on that,there's no Bosnian language,cause there's no Bosnian nation,they're just a big mix of Croatians,Serbians and I don't know how those third ones are called on english(muslimans maybe),just like me.You're right for Slovenian,I asked my dad,he's part Slovenian(they write almost the same as they speak),and Hungarian don't really know :???:


I think Chinese have more simbols then Japanese :???:
