In the 19th century in Europe nobody dared "sport a tan" because it implied that you worked outdoors (which was considered very lowly). Ironic isn't it?
And on top of that, they spend money to get tan in the off season.
@Tarc the Mexan
I didn't mention "turn into negroids". But obviously they have something against being white.
The whole idea of getting a tan is to make the skin darker. And the only reason anyone would want to make it darker is that the are not satisfied with it being lighter. If either of you calls believes thats racist, you are the racist ones not me.
except their hair isnt dyed - its naturally blonde. its winter in sydney and its 20C and the water temp 19.5C
5 hours drive from sydney there is snow and the season has kicked off at perisher.
australia rocks!
try googling port stephens which is 150km's north of sydney
or perisherblue a few hours south of sydney
and the blue mountains a few hours west of sydney to see how good we have it in australia.
and that is just a tiny part of nsw.

$10 for a beer and $30 for a steak. wow you swedes are being right royally shafted.
heh heh. australia could buy sweden and denmark and finland and norway and mexico with loose change out of our back pocket. 3rd world thats sweden and mexico. I can understand your frustration and self loathing being stuck in sweden. try coming to sydney and relaxing amongst happy people in a truly vibrant sub tropical environment. youll be surprised how quickly you will lighten up. sunshine cheap great food and wine will do that to a person.
