Dear Abbey...

Dear Abbey,

Why is everything in this country so old? I mean the other day I was talking to a lady at my work and she said her house is 300 years old, so I said to her that my country is only just over 200 years old. Everywhere I go things seems to be so much older then where I am from. I don't know if this is a good thing because if I lived in a house that was older then my home country I'd be kinda worried it might fall down. I mean look at that bridge in Minneapolis. It wasn't even that old and it fell down and some people got really hurt. I hope I haven't worried you too much with my letter, but maybe the people in this old country should thinka bout knocking all of their old stuff down and building new things like in my country so as its not dangerous to the people who live here especially people like me who can't help that they are used to such new things in their own countries.

Yours Sincerely,

Luke.


Dear Luke,

You are an idiot. The reason your country is so 'new' is that WE colonised your country just over 200 years ago and sent all our criminals there. That is why prior to that there were no buildings or structures to speak of as the originl inhabitants of the country were a nomadic people with a smaller population that lived off the land and felt no need for buildings. So while you are here in our glorious 'old' country please don't be so ignorant and simply appreciate its 'old' buildings for what they are, a slice of history. And if one does happen to fall, I hope it falls on your head. Good day.

Abbey.
