Why is adelaide sooo lame n boring?????

lose the negative attitude... that'd probably help a lot. You've been there 3 days and already you're judging it. If you think the only thing to do there is to go to Rundle Mall, then you're sadly mistaken. Adelaide is much better with friends, as you'll find once you make some. The beaches, the national parks (Morilata and Waterfall Gully) are great. The bike paths are fantastic. Other parts of the city are worth exploring and it's nice to get out of the city too and check out McLaren Vale or anywhere else. I have been to Adelaide many times and I find so much to do when I am there.
Being Asian, I think you're "China guyz" comment is not worth mentioning, but I think you've seen a very small section of Adelaide. Adelaide is largely anglo-saxon/european and white. There are far less asians, africans, latins and middle eastern than in any other major city in Australia (or around the world for that matter). Get some perspective, make some friends and try and think positively. If you already have a chip on your shoulder about the place after just 3 days (and thinking Rundle Mall was "it"), then you'll never survive!!

Good luck!

Do you like Paul Roos as a coach? Do you think he is a good father?

Are kangaroos normally seen on the Australian streets?

Where I live (suburban Perth), you often see them on the side of the road. More often than not, they're dead and bloated. 100kmh roads running through their habitat, coupled with their relatively tiny brain size isn't a good combo. The poor sods.My local golf course is built on their habitat and there's hundreds of them bouncing around. They'll sit by the tee, on the fairway, on the greens, in the rough, they're not fussy. I once topped my drive slightly but still hit it quite nicely. It flew just above ground level and whacked one of them on their legs (complete accident). She just looked at her leg, scratched it with her long nails, then looked at me as if to say “do that again and I'll rip your gizzards out”. She was fine but a little annoyed that I woke her up. They're tough bastards.There's lots of sanctuaries around that rescue the joeys from the mother's pouch if she's been killed by the car. They are hand reared and very tame. Like this, they are beautiful peaceful animals that love a scratch under their chin.However, one time we were at a local waterfall where the kangaroos are wild but relatively tame. They come up to tourists for fruit and nuts. We were happily feeding them when we heard a loud grunt. We look up to see a huge 6ft male red bounding down the hill through the bushes. Oh shit. His bollocks were like two pool balls swinging side to side in a sock. We ran! Luckily we got into the car before he got near. You see, we were feeding his hareem and that's his job.Unfortunately they are often seen as a pest and it's pretty much open hunting season all year round for those who own rifles.

Do the big cities in Australia have kangaroos hopping around?

I have seen three in areas close to the edges of towns in the past 45 years. Aside from that, the only animals common in the cities and towns are birds. And no, It is not a fair question. a moment's consideration should convince you of that.

Does it ever occur to you that asking Europeans, the English, Australians etc if they have wild animals in the streets, electricity, telephones or even farm tractors is just a teeny bit insulting? Do you ever imagine that countries like Australia manage to have astronomers, musicians, artists, novelists, immunologists and inventors all their own?

People in countries other than the USA tolerate Americans because they know the US education system is tailored to give the impression that all other places are non-democracies still in the 18th century. The only country with any freedom at all is the USA, all inventions since the wheel have been made in the USA and on and on and on.. You have just admitted that yourself by telling us that the Discovery Channel is your only source of information about Australia. .

However tolerance only goes so far.

If you come here, or anywhere else with that stereotypical American arrogant ignorance you will eventually be give a serve and a with a far saltier mouth that Roofingprincess has used. You may even be told to fcuk off back to yankeeland and don't bloddy come back.

In Australia, will wild Kangaroos approach you out of curiosity or hoping for something to eat? Is it dangerous to interact with them fairly close?

If a kangaroo in the wild approaches you there are usually only two possibilities. One is that it is not completely wild and has become accustomed to seeing humans as possible sources of snacks, even in very remote areas. It won’t be tame, but it will no longer be truly wild.If a genuinely wild kangaroo approaches you, it is probably planning to attack you. It may allow you to come a little closer as long as you remain a safe distance away from its point of view. But if it makes the move towards you, it is quite likely it is about to attack, and you may not even know until it gets close enough to do so.Kangaroos are not usually aggressive and mostly retreat if they have the chance, but if they feel threatened they are not shy about attacking either, and they are very well equipped to do so. They do usually give warning signs but not necessarily obvious ones, and you have to see them first to see the signs. Some attacks come out of nowhere, and for no apparent reason.They are immensely powerful and fast, and they usually attack by trying to disembowel their opponent with the huge claws on their hind feet. You may not realise their intentions until they actually have you in their grip and then it will be too late. Unless you are very unlucky, you won’t die, but you will certainly suffer some serious damage.If you want to see kangaroos in the wild, do the smart thing and admire them from a safe distance. You can’t outrun a kangaroo. Usain Bolt could not outrun a kangaroo.
