Hi everyone, I’m a newbie. I live in Queensland Australia. My hobbies are painting, crafts, playing the ukulele and learning other instruments and learning Japanes. I have a Bluetongue Lizard called Mamma Jolene,

Another from the land of Kangroos, welcome. Just hop or jump in and make yourself comfortable.
I have cousins in Sydney and internet friends in Brisbane.
I see your leaning Japanese. Having been there among other countries you have to learn the correct amount of bowing down. for casual meetings a slight bow is correct. for friends and people you know a slightly deeper bow is required. For family and close relatives an even deeper bow should be given.
The only problemis having been there for a time when you get back hom you tend to find yourself doing the same thing.
