Yeah you guys have a lot of fuckin' weird-ass landscape types, I would like to see that. You're heavy beer people too.

Let me say though that the freshly hot Krispy Kreme doughnut is on a higher plane than Guitar Center. It is a unique and amazing thing.

We have Krispy Kreme here too. I don't know much about their hot donuts though. My sons work in bakeries, so we don't buy bread products these days.

They do sound yum though. I like KK donuts in general.

Oh, I was thinking you meant the swill you get a fast food joints, or even the coffee you get in the cans at grocery stores...like Folgers. Cuz that stuff is bad.

You might be surprised at how 'american' some of our culture has become.

Thankfully we've managed to stay very Australian in the main though, which is important for the national identity. I listen to the kids though and it's clear our culture is becoming very homogenised which bothers me somewhat, simply because we're not american. On the flip side, some traditions which signify being australian are growing which is nice to see.

Old Motels, the endless cornfields and freeways that just disappear into the haze of the horizon...

We have that, although you'd probably swap the corn for wheat (or barley or cotton...)
