1. While I was walking at night I think I saw a drunk driver because they were about to hit a pole. 2. In my suburb, a house got burned down and a mother with 2 kids died, I think so.
3. Some crazy person tried to break into the house next to us, I know this because the police came to our door so they could question my parents if we had anything to do with it.
4. My sister left our bike outside near the bus station, the next day the wheels were stolen. Crazy place but it's not as bad as the USA.
Everyone's employed and over paid or going to Uni. Canberra is clean and modern, laws are more relaxed then the surrounding states, everything is cheaper including property and food - all good.
Immigration seems to be restricted to Diplomats and Chinese tourists only, so you still get 10 points for spotting an Asian and 5 points for spotting an Indian.
And, if you're the son or daughter of a Diplomat, you can still get pissed and drive over the top of a Chinese tourist and get away with it.
Just love Diplomatic Immunity.
