Still 50 or some days to go.  By now, we’re sure that about everybody in our environment is sick and tired of hearing those two ramble on about going to Australia.  They should, ’cause they’re staying and we’re going. 
But to give our fellow travellers some idea when to shut up…  how do you know you talk too much about Australia?

- When you start to put the Crocodile Dundee movies in the same category as Almodovar, Aronofsky, Von Trier,…
- When you can burp the Australian national anthem… while standing on your bed… naked
- When you say at least 5 times a day ‘Put another shrimp on the barbie’ without ever putting a shrimp on a barbie
- When you can’t wait to experience your first kangaroo barbecue
- When you try to learn the rules to cricket
- When you start to refer to Brisbane as ‘Brissie’, like all Aussies do.
- When you cried when Australia lost in the World Cup (hey, we shed some tears that day…)
- When you, as a Belgian, can’t wait to try your first Australian beer, followed by comments that Belgian beer is so much better and why the hell you ever tried this beer, followed by yet another Australian beer.
