It has come to my attention, that some of you (i won't mention names) have absolutely no idea about Australia, mmmmm what a bloody shame. If I asked one of you what do you think about Aussie, I believe your answers would be as follows: "Kangaroos come from Aussie, si ndiyo?" "Si it's near New Zealand..." So what...Aussie is the home of Kangaroos and its near NZ, and then?
So, I am taking it upon myself to teach you about Oz and Perth. You have to know these things you guys eh? Do you know that ignorance killed the cat...or did it? Wee Kariuki is this the right saying? Kariuki tells me no such saying exists, he says am ignorant...shish... eti ignorant, that word does not exist in my vocabulary.
Anyhoo, let me give you the 411 on Aussie:
Settled in 1788, became a federation in 1901 and a federal constitution was adopted in that same year. So, Aussie is officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia. Australia is a monarchy, the monarchy being Queen Liz 2. The flag is navy blue on the background and has the British Union Jack, the Commonwealth Star and the Southern Cross (constellation).
The PM is John Howard, opposition leader as of last week is Kim Beazley. Being a federation, Aussie is divided into 6 states and 2 territories;
State or territory Capital
i) Western Australia(WA) Perth
ii) South Australia(SA) Adelaide
iii) Queensland(QLD) Brisbane
iv) Victoria (VIC) this is true) Melbourne
v) New South Wales(NSW) Sydney
vi) Tasmania(TAS) Hobart
vii) Australian Capital Territory(ACT) Canberra (Oz's Capital City)
viii) Northern Territory(NT) Darwin
Perth, WA...according to Viki
Most beautiful city in Australia. It's a 'multiculural' society (that's what the politicians say)...tumechanganyika hapa kama sisimizi na kwambia- waafrika, waitaliano, waufaransa, wakingereza, kila mtu. Nightlife-if you want to go clubbn, that is if you ever visit this place, go to Safari Bar(owned by a Kenyan and looks like a smalll Carni), Burswood and Harbourside.
If you want to go for a romantic getaway (this is strictly for people with gacungwas or side mbisikits), the best place to go is known as Margaret River-a very sophisticated place, which boasts of wineries, beautiful white sandy beaches, etc, etc.
Now, kama huna mboiflend au ngaoflend or what polite people are likely to say, eti 'if you are unattached', you can go anywhere here in WA-anywhere is good fun. Now I said Perth is behind, that is not so (that was bad publicity). Infact, some guy called Notorious BIG hit here like 3-4 months ago. Now who has ever heard of Notorious, the one you guys know passed...take that! we are sooo ahead, I tell you.
Sasa, mkiulizwa maswali juu ya Aussie, mtajibu taratibu sivyo? I don't want to hear answers like, "that's where Nicole Kidman comes from..." ama "it's that hot place with Aboriginal people."
And if we ever meet don't ask me questions like, "have you ever been to Ramsay Street, where Neighbours is shot?" You will answer that question yourself.
Ok, enough of me and Aussie for now. I think we need more Travel Guides from other parts of the world.
Ciao
