quicko: travel

In general, Australians seem to be much better traveled than Americans (then again, who doesn't?). But here I'm suddenly hearing about all sorts of exotic places as everyday vacation destinations: Fiji, Thailand, Bali, Vietnam. Even the occasional jaunt to Nepal or Malaysia. Japan, naturally. It's so cliche, though.

Yes, folks, we're near Asia, so to Asia we go. And Oceania. And suddenly my geography's gotten a whole lot better. I know where Samoa is.

Yes, but how many Australians have been to the center of their own country?

I've been to Alice Springs, and I've been to Asia. I have no idea where Samoa is.
