9 hours on plane is nothing: lean back, chill out and reset your mind to holiday mode. Europeans have such a warped view of distance. It must come from living in those tiny little countries...
For every hour i fly i must stay 2 days at my destination
It takes over 9 hours to fly to Hong Kong/Shanghai/Tokyo from Gold Coast, you call that not very far?
You could compare it with flying from Copenhagen to Beijing or from Rome to Calcutta.
9 hours is nothing to me, personally. I'd say globally the western US is probably worse in some ways, though, in terms of isolation. Western Australia is probably less globally isolated too actually.

It's plenty. The 7 hours that it took to get to New york nearly killed me. My back was as stiff as hell.
And I don't know about you but americans would find that a long flight too.

Not really. That's just a normal flight for any American that wants to travel to another country.
Not really they can fly to South america and the Caribbean in like 3 hours.
