Or is that an Austrailia Asia hybrid name?

Please don't turn this into a nationalism thread. We're merely enjoying some information together.

I, in the meantime will refrain from posting a joke I heard once from a tour guide. It's clean, it's fun, but I don't want to encourage people to post jokes that aren't so clean or fun.

In other words... resist my friends! You can DO eet!
