Nick, it&#39;s so interesting that you, living in Melbourne, have never been to the Great Barrier reef, and here I am willing to suffer 15 hours in coach just to see it.[/b]
Good point. Just like you do Hollywood, I see the GBR as a tourist trap. But also ZEDs on QF aren&#39;t that cheap, nor are confirmed tix, so people tend to say well if i&#39;m going to pay that much I may as well go overseas. Fair enough I say... it&#39;s important to learn about other cultures rather than just your own. I&#39;ll get there one day though... i&#39;d like to roadtrip Australia.

Example- My first time vistors to LA always want to see Hollywood- Walk Of Fame[/b]
Haha I want to see that! Aside from in-n-out runs, there have only been two times I ventured out of LAX. One was to go to see some friends at some persons apartment in who knows where and eat Korean. The other was when I first went there and stayed in Motel 6 on hollywood blvd. So impressed (scared) we where by this locale we hightailed it to San Diego on the train the next day.
LA is on my list for one day - I need to give it a chance. I want to see the walk of fame and venice beach and universal studios and disneyland etc - as touristy as they may be. I think another reason it bothers me so is that a lot of Australians just go to LAX and NYC because QF flies there, and those cities to me aren&#39;t a great experience of the real America. I guess that&#39;s the same reason why London doesn&#39;t impress me.... every second Australian is there. They coined the term JAFA for a reason

There&#39;s my 2 cents
