... or how to waste time in the land of stupid laundry
In 2007 I made a Grand Romantic Gesture and moved to the other side of the world for the sake of my international boyfriend. In 2008 he became my husband, and the serious work of living and loafing in a new country really began.

I asked myself the same question when I arrived in Brisbane. In Switzerland it is easy to buy a "zone free" DVD player - in Australia however they are not allowed to tell you if the player is able to play other zones. We found one anyway... :-)
Apparently you can't buy zone free DVD players here any more either. Reto also had a bit more trouble than normal with the laptop he bought the other week, with finding one that you could make zone-free.
You just need to google a bit. To cut down on production expenses, instead of having different chip sets for different regions a lot of players can be region coded with a few clicks on the remote.
In Denmark, region 1 DVD sales were banned. But the shops found a way to bend the rules. Now you just place your order through a foreign webshop, but still pay danish vat and no customs. Clever.
