Last time I was there a month and a half back, I had to raid the ward kitchen and steal a heap of biscuits, I was so hungry. Then I got a nurse to grab me some sandwiches.
Basically, Australia is far away from most every thing nasty, and we have pretty much every we really need here (except oil - may need more car LPG conversions?) - which is why those overseas see it as a safe haven.
Our last housing crash was back in the early 90s with the "recession we had to have" - people could buy house with 95% borrowed money, and still not be negatively geared. People were putting in dumb bids at auction - and winning. Though the effects didn't last that long.
Waking up each morning is definitely a reason to be cheerful.
Cheers,
Renato

Well you are lucky to be off on another adventure that will provide you not only with, hopefully, a sucessful resolution of your back issues, but the opportunity of using your cunning to satisfy your basic needs of hunger. Sounds like the makings of a great movie.
The good news is all the astro objects, well not any comets of course, will be waiting for your inspection when you have completed your adventure.
Mmmm if I may suggest ...that real estate crash was actually only a down turn
I had my real estate office and went three months with out one sale but I recoved those lost sales within the following six weeks..demand backs up but finally breaks out ... things were such that a real estate agent in Bondi charged folk a fee to place a photo of their house for sale in his shop front window..unbelievable but that indicates how tuff it became ...these days I expect you could sell any of those houses over the phone at the vendors asking price to any of a long list of cashed up buyers.
All the best and keep your great and admirable cheerful attitude as with it you will always be an outstanding sucess.
