My name is Ben and I come from Australia. I am 24 years old and I live in
a small town near Sydney called Branton. I don't have a job now, but
normally I clean shop windows. I am not married but I live with my very
beautiful girlfriend, Maria, in a nice house in Branton. We don't have
any children... maybe next year.

theatre in our town. At the weekend, we like to go swimming in a big lake
near our house. I normally get up at eight o'clock, but on Thursday I get up
at six o'clock because that is the day when I go running in the park.
