SE is South East Asia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Singapore (and others). But not China,
Russia, Japan, or the Koreas because you are on the mainland.
Likewise not Australia, Papua New Guinea etc as Australia is it's own
continent and PNG is an Island.
NSW is the state of New South Wales in Australia. Australia has 6
sovereign states and 2 self governing terrorities. Six of the seven
british self governing colonies decided to federate in 1901. New
Zealand didn't join but they were listed in the Australian
Constitution as a founding state.
Chinese people have been in Australia since white people came here.
Although they were not treated well till the last 30 years. When I
grew up I saw virtually no asians until 1975 when Vietnamese refegees
came here (and Chinese ones in 1989). Now Australia, at least in the
big cities, look like Asian cities. Asian faces everywhere. Asian
shops everywhere. It's hard to find takeaway food that isn't asian
(except at McDonalds). You'd feel at home. Even the triads are here.
A lot are other asians, there are more sushi shops in Australia than
anything else it seems which makes me unhappy as I don't eat raw fish.
Along with Australia's asianisation there is also a continental thing
happening where we think we are all italians drinking coffee on
sidewalk cafes earing our foccias for lunch or breakfast while
reading vogue.
