My parents sent me a giant bag full of little koalas to give to people as presents. You know the whole ‘Hey I’m Australian. Have something Australian that was made in china.’ It’s part of the exchange. You give out little things that are specific for your country.
I gave one to each of my host siblings. My eldest host brother decided to decorate his. He came running into my room with wash out hair spray, paper, glue, scissors and various knickknacks. I thought he got banned from doing something in his room and so was doing it in mine. He then explained he was just decorating his koala. I just continued doing what I was doing on the computer. Then he put this in front of me.
This is Smokey. I did suggest Skippy but got in trouble for that. I’m a terrible Aussie. Smokey has been sprayed yellow, red, purple and blue. He’s been given a keyring for an earring, has another giant Australian flag, on the back has a pin of a guitar, has sunnies glued to his face, his hat has been turned and glued backwards and for the final touch he has a cigarette that is bigger than he is. I think the cigarette makes him a little French but it certainly would explain why koalas always have those red, bloodshot eyes.
Of course after my brother did this he left a huge mess on my bed from where he had been ‘fixing’ Smokey.

Oh yes, that is why I spent 25c on each of these koalas!
he violated the koala :O
hmmm that ‘cigarette’ looks mighty dodgy
Shit…25cents. Ashleigh you go bash that boy! Bash him twice.
That’s awesome.
It’s a cigarette Sus. They roll their own here because it’s cheaper and part of the culture. I don’t really know. I’m the one who’s coughing loudly and that drowns out their voice.
Do a post about all the shoes you have bought (I know of at least two pairs). I’d like to see what I’m paying for….
That Koala is now a hippie koala. Is it legal to deface a national symbol that way?! Poor Smokey. Shouldn’t he have a French name? Bernard? Jacques? Guy?
Australia is the only country where it’s legal to eat our national animals. It’s not defaced. It’s been given a personality according to my host brother.
