Never been to Australia either. Would love to see the luscious nature in the North West corner of the nation.
Plus yes, Amsterdam is quite a beautiful place but crowded also. Extra pluspoint is that folks tend to be frank, open and direct there.

(won't apply for all catholics but it does here)
But hey.... I win (and off to go outside)
