You sure? Hong is from Austria and he uses dollars all the time. He said so when he talked about buying stuff in Sydney. I remember it clearly.

Sydney is in Australia! That's that small continent down under.

Austria is a country in Europe, right beside Switzerland and Germany.

Marvels of modern travel! I just talked to Sydney yesterday. He didn't mention he was going to Australia.

I'm sorry. So sorry. Really. I couldn't help myself.

But! Isn't Sidney a woman's name?

Not in the Land Down Under. Austrians and New Zealanders often name guys Sydney. I bet Hong knows someone named Sydney.

Ah, come on, they don't have kangaroos in Europe, except in zoos.

I don't know where you learned your geography, but sunny Austria is definitely in the southern hemisphere. Hong talks about it all the time.

He even talked about how people always mix up Austria and Australia in the write up of his trip to Malaysia.

I slowly get the idea you're actually serious with that.

anyway, links to two maps. One is Europe

http://www.essmann.org/travel/europe.htm

Where you will see Austria (below Germany, to the right of Switzerland.

The next is Australia and Pacific Rim

http://www.essmann.org/travel/pacific.htm

The big one is Australia (the continent), below and to the right the fabled New Zealand

Then there's that Quote from Hongs homepage

Just remember that Austria is the country and Australia is the continent, and you'll be fine

@alsih2o: I hope that discussion gave you sleep.

@Welverin: Seems that someone taught me Geography right. Please inform your School that your Geography teacher's teaching you complete BS and should be fired. If they hear that his pupils cannot ceep Austria and Australia apart, they'll probably shoot him...

So you're saying Austria isn't a country and Australia isn't a continent? I'm terribly confused.

So am I. One of my professors last semester was from Austria, you'd think i would know these things after such experiences.
