Hi to all Aussies and New Zealanders out there. Would love to correspond! The beauty of the internet...
It is Mothers' day here -- do you have such a holiday? When is it? I know Britain's is early than ours.
Wonder if JC program varies from country to country. What are you favorite parts of the program?
Best wishes to all from Ohio, USA

Im originally from the USA, Arkansas to be exact and yes they do have Mothers Day here.....it is celebrated on the same sunday as the USA but our Fathers Day is in Sept not June here........i now live in Victoria Australia and the food is FOR SURE different here than there......im not for sure what exactly y'all have there but alot of our stuff is Australian stuff like meat pies and stuff......it was nice to hear from u......ttyl

Hi, Aussiegirl. What's a Razorback doin down under? Must be an adjustment, for sure! Have never been to AR, but hear the Ozarks are just beautiful.
I'm in Cincinnati. And spend time in N. Michigan...summers and hope to retire up there in a few years. We have a winterized cottage up there.
How is the winter down there? Your program going all right? I lost 1.7 yesterday for a total of 7.5, I'm happy to say...on my small 5'" frame....
Take care,
Ellie

Hi girls,
Nice to see people reaching out. I'm an Aussie living in the States. I get homesick a lot and if it weren't for my husband and kids I'd be home on the next flight.. Having said that, it's not bad here either, don't get me wrong. Can take the girl out of Australia but can't take Aus out of the girl. Anyway, it was 13 years ago I did JC for the first time and that was back home. I'm sure the foods have changed over the years there. I love the food here though miss the meat pies (which are sooo bad for us) and some other typical Aussie food. Have they incorportated some of those into the JC menu? Where in Victoria are you Angela? I used to live there once upon a time..hehehe. Well I'm rambling..hang in there with the program girls, we can do this.
