A little more than a week ago, I revealed my next destination to all of you! However, those that only follow me on YouTube (and not on this blog) were still in the dark. The e-mails kept coming in, so I decided to make a talky blog with some thoughts about my next destination. Click below to check it out:

Peace out, mate!

Sidney is spelled “Sydney.”
October 28, 2009 at 9:13 am
You will love Sidney. Australia is a beautiful land with a exotic environment.
kisses and good trip.
October 29, 2009 at 12:45 pm
The nice coastal bits will be under the sea soon thanks to Global Warming. I hope Davey enjoys making sand castles and riding camels. The sea is steadily rising. Better build an Ark. It worked for Noah.
October 30, 2009 at 8:00 am
Camels?
November 9, 2009 at 6:55 am
Yes there are camels in australia, they were brought in 100 odd years ago when the transcontinental rail was being built as a means of transporting the materials required.
Once the rail was done the afghanis set them free, and they multiplied like rabbits.
There is a system of culling that has been going on for many years.
In some bigger tourist towns/cities they are used for beach/sunset rides!
October 28, 2009 at 9:17 am
Please come to London next!!!!! I live there and id love to meet you! have a nice time in Australia, cant wait to watch the videos!
October 28, 2009 at 9:42 am
Sydney is a beautiful place with passionate ppl…n Maybe you should visit Singapore or M’sia as well…!!! kekeke…. Peace mate…!!! =D

Hey Davey,
You might want to research what the best brand of heavy duty SPF Australian made sunscreen is for those white thighs of yours.
It would be a shame if they got badly burnt and you had to walk around bowlegged for a few days, looking like you were the sling boy at an all night gang bang.
Peace and Love,
Todd in VA

what a fun visual Todd just put into the space…
I’m all in favor of the Speedo.
October 28, 2009 at 10:52 am
Australia sounds so fun, and we “get to go with you”
Steve Irwin’s Australia Zoo~
Kangaroos, koalas, and dingos <3
October 28, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Australia zoo is a looong way from Sydney =S
November 9, 2009 at 6:58 am
You can fly cheaply in Aus, Sunshine Coast is 1.20m on virginblue r jetstar.
Cost about 80usd one way
October 28, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Yay speedos!! I can’t wait.
October 28, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Davey-
From what I have read is that the water swirls the direction that the toilet is designed to push the water in a certain direction.
Also, I am wondering why you didn’t plan your trip for Mardi Gras?
Are you just going to stay in Sydney or are you going to explore other parts of Australia?
-Brad
October 28, 2009 at 3:45 pm
thats not true .. there is a place somewere right over the equator were if u flush it does nothing it just falls .. i seen it on tv .. i know daytime tv is crap (literally) haha
October 28, 2009 at 10:48 pm
the water doesn’t particular go a certain way in toilets in sydney though, bit just kinda goes down.
October 30, 2009 at 8:02 am
Yea. Agreed. Aussie toilets just sort of flush down… We don’t have many fancy “swirling” toilets.
November 9, 2009 at 7:00 am
The flush is fast and straight down, you don’t get to rate yr pooh!
October 28, 2009 at 2:07 pm
You made me smile ; you are really like a great black-backed gull, always gulping down food!
What was it?
bye,
October 28, 2009 at 3:42 pm

October 28, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Possible meet up with your, always advertised, Mr Boh??
October 28, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Davey you are TOOOOOOO cute! You never cease to make me giggle. Wish we were neighbors, because life would be so much more fun hangin out with you. These Kansas plains are way too flat and boring.
October 28, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Really excited/jealous of you!! Can’t wait to see you tan!! I hope you have an expedentious amount if fun!!
October 28, 2009 at 5:32 pm
oh damn it, I forgot why the toilet flushes the other way round… it’s something physical. know it… i just cant recall what it was
October 29, 2009 at 8:09 pm
its all to do with the force of gravity and the centre of gravity for the volume of water! I think
Love and Peace
Jack
November 9, 2009 at 7:01 am
Aus is on the bottom half of the globe derrrr, polar gravity etc etc
October 28, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Hey gorgeous
Pity ye’re not coming to London. All the best Down Under! You’re going to loooooove Sydney, it’s a beautiful city.
However, as a POME (as them aussies call us) I have to quote Dylan Moran here^^:
“People end up in Australia – why would anybody want to go there? What is the point of that country? I usually never leave the house but we all went to Australia recently, the whole family. It’s a ridiculous place: Located three quarters of a mile away from the surface of the sun, people audibly crackling as they walk past you on the street. That’s why they all barbecue, you don’t need to cook somewhre like that, you just bring out the s**t, fling it on the grill and it bursts into flames. It’s not supposed to be inhabited. And if they’re not doing that, frying themselves outside, they all fling themsleves into the sea which is inhabited almost exclusively by things desingned to kill you: sharks, jellyfish, swimming knives they’re all in there.”
(not to be taken quite seriously of course, but still a hilarious description of the country^^)
Anyway, I’m sure you’ll have a whale of a time in sunny Australia.
Love and Peace from Good Old England.x
PS: Australia is inhabited almost exlusively with cute surfer guys, by the way
October 28, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Like Shannon, eh! (wink)
October 28, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Hi Davey,
I think your egg numbers are wrong…the population would be riddled with high cholesterol.
Your toilet flushing theory is correct, but, Australian toilets don’t fill the bowl as high as do American toilets so to prove it will be harder and these days modern toilets are designed to swish the water around to help clean.
Nothing worse than going about your business and dangling your junk in a pool of cold water! Only in America.
I should alert customs to your arrival to make sure you get more personal (and thorough) inspection upon entry to oz.
)
October 28, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Eggs!
Where did you get that “fact”?
Never heard that one before. Nobody I know down here eats anything like that many eggs!
As for water rotation in drains, a nice fun myth as I am sure you know Davey, but…..have a look here:
http://www.ems.psu.edu/~fraser/Bad/BadCoriolis.html
I look forward to your coming “Australian-isms” mate, should be a laugh to hear you do an Aussie accent Talkyblog, ha!
But, 25 days!!!!!!! C’mon!!!! That’s pure nuts!!!
Why spend all that money to travel here and stay 5 seconds?
Nuts!!!!!
At least you will be there on the harbour for the Australia Day celebrations and fireworks on January 26th. It is HUGE!
But, there is no doubt you’ll have a good time, even in Sydney.
October 28, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Is Chipolte going as well???
October 28, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Wha-ha I live in sydney! the toilets dont actually spin a certain way, they go straight down. Davey wavey in Sydney, (why don’t you stay for mardi gras by the way?)
October 29, 2009 at 12:56 am
Hi Davey,
I’m an American student who studied abroad in Australia for 6 months. Funny enough I actually followed your blog while I was backpacking up the eastern coast..
First thing you will come to learn about OZ is how much more emphasis they put on conserving resources. Much of the Australia is dry so they try to use as little water as possible. The toilets use a half and full flush system. When flushed the water is shot down in a gust kind of like a public bathroom in the states.
Secondly, things we take for granted like unlimited Internet can cost you a lot of money. From my experience with the internet in Australia, they use “gig” allotment. So you pay for an amount of data transfer, much like a cellphone minute plan. If you go over your monthly plan you will pay dearly… I paid $400 in October of 08.. This was due to my liking of data intensive sites like youtube, porn, and of course breaktheillusion.
If you would like advice or have questions about where to go, what to do and not to do, and the gay scene from an American prospective, I would be happy to share my experiences.
October 29, 2009 at 6:45 am
SUNBED first Davey! oh and a shoe-horn to get into those small speedos :-p
October 29, 2009 at 6:59 am
Hi there,
I live here in the city of Sydney and it’s great here I have no doubt that you’re going to have a blast when you get here. As for the gay scene I’m your man I know how that works I live around the corner of the scene itself. Qxford st Queens can be very nasty and bitchy so bring your attitude and your faulse nails. Let me know when you get her and I’ll show you the way it goes……
Cheers
October 29, 2009 at 7:25 am
Davey Wavey…When you get back to the states..”your” David will still be waiting in Jerszzy..Love “your” David
October 29, 2009 at 8:09 am
Oh Davey, oh Davey. That voice and those hand gestures! You will have to work on your “ocker” self. But then again Sydney is full of “poofters”. You will feel perfectly at home. And the foreskins! Wall to wall foreskins, mate! But you might think of practising beer drinking (don’t know if they have non-alcoholic Fosters in Oz). Good on ya, mate. And don’t forget to go for a visit to Brisie while you’re down under. The Gold Coast is breath-takingly beautiful. I’ve a mate in Brisie. Charming lad. You will never be the same after a visit to Oz, mate.
Love ya, Be well,
October 29, 2009 at 8:20 am
Don’t forget you need a visa!
Also, stay another month and enjoy the largest gay/lesbian mardi gras festival in the world!
Bon voyage,
Tom
November 9, 2009 at 7:06 am
You don’t need a visa for a holiday visit, that was stopped years ago!
October 29, 2009 at 8:40 am
oh fantastic youre going to Oz.what with the severe economic troubles we have in the states and the imminent revolution(we needed one here over 40 yrs ago)26 days isnt enough time to find a job and boyfriend.
October 29, 2009 at 9:39 am
Davey : It was good news last week and even more exciting to hear you getting excited about it. Hmmmmmmmmm so what Speedo are you going to be wearing , I think you need to model it for us . It will be a fantastic trip and adventure, thank you for inviting us along thru your blog, I will need a warm, sunny break then as it will be snowy and cold here in Canada. Cheers mate !
October 29, 2009 at 12:08 pm
I don’t know about Australia, but here in So. Cal. you will get laughed off the beach if you wear Speedos over a board short tan line. Make sure you leave a turd in the toilet as a referense point so we can follow it going the “wrong” way.
October 29, 2009 at 6:18 pm
That was such a cool video!!
See you down here soon mate!
October 29, 2009 at 6:54 pm
PLEASE DO NOT wear speedos… we do not all wear speedos here… unless your under 5 or over 55 you are NOT ALLOWED to wear speedos! GROSS
October 29, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Oi mate! I’ll be flying out to sydney from Ottawa in Jan for 2 weeks. Hope to cross paths with you. Deepak chopra is refreshing.
October 29, 2009 at 10:22 pm
follow the light. LOL
October 29, 2009 at 10:52 pm
hey we just got back earlier this year from sydney — you’re gonna have tons of fun!
if you need to meet some local (hotties) lemme know.
and, why aren’t you stopping by hawaii to see me? lol…
October 30, 2009 at 10:43 am
Love ya, Davey. I knew it was Australia as soon as you flushed the toilet in the video. LOL! Seriously; it’s funny but this was the first thing I experimented with when I visited both Sydney and Perth in 1996. (I need to find the footage for that and create a video I guess.) You will love it and you’re correct; the bathing suit of choice is the Speedo. I discovered that while sunbathing on the beach across from our hotel one day and this humongous, probably 300-pound-guy came walking by in his teeny-weeny Speedo. (Never mind. I went inside. ROFL) Sadly, today I’m the overweight guy so the days of MY wearing a Speedo are long behind me — but we’ll all wait with baited breath to get a glimpse of you in yours. Just remember to show us plenty of that sweet face and wonderful smile. You’re a sweetheart and hope you have a great time there. Do be careful, however. The crime that takes place in and around Kings Cross at night can be unsuspected; please always have a friend in tow when you’re out and about at night. Again, love ya… Enjoy! Be safe! -Michael
October 30, 2009 at 10:07 pm
DAVEY!!!
I’m so excited you’re coming to visit my home town Sydney! You’re going to love it here.
I don’t know where that fact about the eggs came from, but I don’t know any one person anywhere that would consume 4 eggs a day. That’s just crazy. If you haven’t already heard, vegemite is the “spread of choice”. It’s like a yeast spread that is an aquired taste… I think you’ll need to post a blog, filming your reaction to tasting it for the first time haha.
If I can help you out in anyway, shoot me an e-mail. I’d only be more than happy to help considering all the entertainment you’ve given me over the past few weeks since I’ve stumbled across your blog.
Take care!
*hugs*
October 31, 2009 at 7:55 pm
You’ll love your time in Oz! And, remember that if you don’t get a better offer please pop ’round for a BBQ… an Aussie institution. Though a BBQ at my house is a bit untraditional in that it tends to have yummy native cuisine on it… like roo or flat head or yabbies… along side the lamb snags and chook.
I sent a BBQ invite to your info email. Let me know if you didn’t get it.
November 1, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Beware the huntsman!!! *shudders*
Can we have a vote on speedo options?
November 1, 2009 at 9:40 pm
here’s a bit of 1998-99 report on egg consumption, davey your figures are way out there…
Egg consumption declined in 1998-99 by 1.9% to 137 eggs per capita, compared with the previous year when consumption rose by 6.4% to 140 eggs. In the longer term, egg consumption has also shown a decline with intake considerably less than the 255 eggs available for consumption in the late 1940s.
Even with growth your numbers are huge – unless you include chocolate easter eggs then that figure would be close to correct
November 2, 2009 at 10:16 pm
The toliet thing is called the coriolis effect… its to do with the roation of the earth… But people are right when they say the toliets here dont flush the same so u dont really see the water go down… what I would suggeuest is u just use the sink to show this… fill your sink with water over there then let it out and then do the same here in australia, u will see the water go down in the other direction…. anyway mate hope u have fun in sydney its amazing ..
November 9, 2009 at 7:22 am
