Either german pineapples are different than ours, or your slightly exaggerating ;) :D

Incidentally, if thats the only bad thing about Oz, something cosmetic, then that's cool. :)

LOL :D There are certainly more objectionable buildings in the world than your opera house, IMO ;)

Not that I care much one way or the other, but what do you have against the Empire State Building? It's actually a pretty decent art deco structure, close up. As for its height: there are a lot higher ones around, now. Have you been there?

Don't worry, fable, I was only being facetious. I haven't actually been there unfortunately. But from what I have seen of it (through the lense of my trusty TV :p ) it isn't that bad. But personally, I don't know... it doesn't look that good either. Kinda simple and flat... I like something with a bit more... what's the word... personality. :D

Try looking at the Sears Tower....Now that building needs personality.

As for Germans, the finest beer around ;)

Now, if you want personality, check out the architecture of Goudy. ;)

What do I hate about the Germans?

The exorbitant price they put on those Haagen-daaz ice cream bars! $3.00 each! A
travesty almost as bad as Hitler.

Well, what isn't more expensive in Germany than in the States? The only cheap thing is a Coke, 30 cents...

What's wrong with our opera house?</STRONG>
I like your casual attitude. Anyway, I actually have nothing against the opera house. I was just trying to think of something about australia (where I have never been). And I don't have anything against australia. I was just joking. (of course)

So I could have said:

I hate their flag and their stupid marsupials!

-or-
I hate their stupid crocodile hunters!

-or-
Vegemite? Who do they think they are, anyway?

Heh...
Yeah, and their president is swimming naked in a cesspool, together with pigs...

EDIT: Horrible typo...
