Its not as bad as that. The people in Syria have it far worse! A
number of people have lost their lives, of course, and an incredible
10,000 or so homes lost, but the community is rallying.
A friend once described our house as the last one left standing in
Sydney - we're perched on a cliff, overlooking the ocean, some 30+
metres above sea level (I think we'd survive anything short of total
collapse of the East Antarctic ice sheet.

Pretty similar to the US, I suspect. We have quite a few
microbreweries now, a good choice of craft ales, a far cry from when I
was a young bloke, when we had a choice of two fairly similarly tasting
lagers.
What really is excellent (and cheap) are Aussie wines.
Cheers
