I was 8 years old and astonished. "In Australia, everything is upside down. It is positioned below the equator, so when it's winter here, it's summer there. And it is so far away, that when it's night here, it's broad daylight over there." "Australia..." I tried to taste the word. I dreamt about it. "The country where everything is upside down. So where everything is good. Where the rain falls up and never hits us. Where they give you money to take a toy from a store. Where the children are smarter than the teachers. Where parents love eachother." That's where I wanted to go.
