I'm back. It went well. Father-in-law not dead or even dying. The doctors who screwed up by not taking proper aftercare steps in the first place misdiagnosed the current problem. End result: father-in-law got huge transfusions, and two weeks in the hospital.
Happier note: we saw the house. We bought the house. 5min walk from the beach and a primary school, back yard faces a public park, with another park at the end of the street. 10min bike ride to Adelaide's Football Park (NOT AAMI Stadium), a very nice mall, continental shops, etc. 2min walk to the nearest bus station, fifteen minute bike ride to nearest train station.
We take posession in October. We should be moved in by January.

Cool, so your moving to Aus?
Either way sounds like good news, congrats! ^_^ :D

That's good news about your Father-in-Law, and your choice to move to one of the best places in the world (Sydney of course being the best :D), but...

Yeah. While the australians might not speak proper english they're much closer to it than the Yanks ever were. :p
You're going to have to get used to that :)
Glad to hear about your father in law. :)

Actually, in Adelaide, they call it a "Mall", I am so informed by my australian wife.
As for Sydney being the best? I think not. All it has going for it is Steak. I'll stick with less densely populated and overly expensive cities, like Adelaide. ;)

Second Gayest city in the World mate :p
And good news on both your FIL and the move. Excellenmt news on the ten minutes to Footy Park - now the only real choice left to make is... Port or the Crows? (Though I suspect your missus might already have a preference ready made for you ;))

I'm not much for sport, but if I have to chose Port or the Crows, its the Crows everytime.
Its funny, whenever I walk down the street wearing my Crows hat (I've had it for more than I decade I think. One of her first gifts to me) I get odd looks. No one in this country can figure out what sport the Crows belong too.

No we don't. :p
Or at least... I don't :nervous: Maybe my family is just crazy. That would explain a lot of things...
Good news about your father-in-law and the move, anyway.

Well, the word "MALL" in big red letters on the side of the building might have given me the wrong idea, understandably. I've just asked my wife, and she verified, indeed, its called a "mall".
Now, Arndale and Marion, those are shopping centres. ;)

[Seinfeld]Not that there's anything wrong with that![/Seinfeld]
...Anyway, i don't mind Sydney having that title at all, I mean, think about it; it just means there's more Women for the rest of us! :D
-
Bah. Sydney rocks for its Mardis Gras. :D
Well, and Steak. Its kind of an even thing. Real difficult choice really. ;)

Not exactly. More like "been planning it for years, just haven't done it yet".

For the Record, Perth is actually about 6.4 times better than Sydney. They've run tests.

St Johnstone are pish, though.
