( :lilsmile: yup, Catie, we moved to the USA when I was 4 y.o. Before that we lived all over the place. In fact, I was born in Australia.)

If I once knew that, Star, I certainly forgot. So interesting!!

yup, Falena....lived in Toorak until I was 2 years old.

Rice

Star, do you have dual/Aussie citizenship since you were born there?

[Starship]

University (Rice University)

Catie, no but I’m sure I could apply. I am a US citizen naturalized at 12 years old. I could also likely apply for citizenship in England. (Parents were British citizens when I was born and all of my family lives there.) Honestly not sure how it all works.

[Catie]

Star, that is just so interesting!
Dad wanted me to apply to Rice, back in the day.

Love the bear with the tushie dance, Falena!

Quiet

[Starship]

Riot (remember the old rock band “Quiet Riot”???)

Lol... we were in an apartment, Falena. And I was too young to know the difference anyway. But I just asked my mother, and judging from the look on her face when I asked if it was a wealthy area, I think your butt-wiggling bear is probably appropriate.

:signlol: Star. I’ve never been to Toorak but I understand it to be, well an aspirational place. It is one of the most expensive suburbs in all of Australia. If you were wanting to inveigle your way into the social set, it would be a good postcode!
