Classic down to earth girl with morals and goals. She will never stoop to your level and she has a good head on her shoulders. She is shy but stands up for what she believes in. Serious marriage material.

A beautiful girl with sad eyes and who walks with elegance. Sentimental and loving, she is loyal and brave, and will never let down her friends. She is creative and finds beauty in everything.
She may be quiet and humble, but she sees through everyone and holds more inside her than meets the eye.
I'll never be able to find another friend like Adelaide.

pretty much the best place in the world to live.
adelaide is the capital of south australia, and has a small population. it is very pretty. there r lots of good restaurants, and gorgeous parklands. like other cities, it has its slums (salisbury, elizabeth), but ther r heaps of good suburbs such as burnside, beaumont and leabrook.
it is a very interesting place once u get to know it, it passes at first glance as sleepy and conservative, but districts like Norwood, North Adelaide and Chinatown are fascinating.
to experience adelaide, u sort of need 2 have lived there for a certain while.
hot guys live here
person a: im from adelaide

Yes it is a hole, and yes there are less than desirable suburbs to live in.
But in winter, the grass is green, the sky is gray and the trees are naked, possibly the most beautiful city in Australia and its freaking cold in winter and way too damn hot in summer, but that's what the beach is for. ( Maslin's)
Pretty much central to most parts in Australia ( 3 days drive to QLD, WA, and NT)
* Victorian's do not know how to merge and have the number plate "the place to be" - well if it's so good then why are you here causing traffic pile ups?
Radelaide, has all the mod cons, and is lame to those who do not know it intimately.
I have seen and worked in most states (not taz) and I can honestly say I wouldn't want to be any where else at times. xx
Adelaide is awesome, why:?

or; RADelaide
A place that can be a hole sometimes but is generally awesome. If you haven't lived here you wouldn't know a thing about it, its the life behind the scenes that rocks out.
Eastern states cun suck shit, Adelaide is awesome. But if you want to succeed in life, don't study here.
If you do you'll probably become a hobo.
Warning: Adelaidians may -
throw rocks at you
shout at/abuse/hurt/discriminate you
try and rape you
try and kill you
try and sell absolute crap to you
hug you
call you a minda
"I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow"
"How long for?"
"A day."
"Too long mate."
"I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow."
"WOOO! BOGANS!"
"I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow"
"What are you not going to forget?"
"A bus ticket."
"And?"
"My HIV vaccination, my ugg boots, my footy and my bullet proof vest."
"I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow"
"Oh. *glances away*"
"I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow"
"AWESOME!"

Adelaide is the perfect example of perfect. She is that one girl everyone went to school with... and hated for personal reasons. She is smart, beautiful, kind, talented, and popular. All the boys like her, but she pushes them away. She is a person who believes in God and believes in all good. Whatβs not to hate about her.
Adelaide just gave that homeless man her jacket.
