I was going to write a big post about Eurovision, but then I found this great NPR article that pretty much sums it up anyway. I'm amazed it's been happening since the 1950's. Even though it's been pretty popular for Australians to watch it for years, I happened to see it for the first time here in the same year that it is first airing in the US. Some friends invited me over for a viewing party last night to watch the semis. Below is my current favorite (Austria), as well as one of the more ridiculous, memorable performances of the past (known to many as "the butter churning one").
We were once American ex-pats exploring down under. Now we are Aussie ex-pats getting reacquainted with American life.
