- It just boils down to...ya love what ya love and ya just can't help it! I love the sweet yank bread, and you love your aussie kind. What can ya do? - Beth
- Also, it felt like the AUSSIE light switches were upside down to me now....weird to have felt like that - Jodie in FL
- I bet you ARE bilingual - you can translate boot to trunk right? and Where is your trash against rubbish? Right - Go girl - Twoup
- .. if someone suggested putting beets on a burger here, most people would puke! - Lori
- We'll have real Oz Cadbury's chocolate, get rid of that Hershey's crap that leaves a taste of dead goat in your mouth. - Hugh
- I remember being anxious about driving in Oz after being in the USA but as soon as I got behind the wheel, I just let out a hugh sigh of relief! It was so comforting to be driving on the "correct" side of the road again! - Leah
- I also have to admit that if I am out with a group of Aussies (here in the USA) we are generally more rowdy than when I am out with a group of my American friends. Seems to me that we are perhaps a little less reserved when it comes to joking around out in public, than our American buddies. - Leah in WV
- Several weeks ago, I was at a meeting at work, and the division head asked me "Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia?" I said, "Of course, but it is a little different. Normally, a few of us will go down the back paddock, and spear a few big roos, maybe a wombat or two, not koalas, though. Then we build this really big fire in the yard, and throw the carcasses on that. We then smear our bodies with mud and ochre, and dance around the fire chanting....." - Ken
- Anyway, weather here in Texas has been great-but today it is COLD. Daz was wearing his long SHORTS this morning and my daughter remarked, "HOW can you wear shorts when it is so cold out?" To which Daz of course replied, "I'm Australian!" - Susan
- I'm sitting here having a beer...Budweiser. Yep I know I'm a sick girl..lol - Cassie
- Well... if you girls have finished your admiring of the American male, this Aussie male is going back to reading his newspaper! - Alan
- I actually caught myself eating with my fork in my right hand and no knife in my hand. - Jodie in NC
- At the end of my first grocery shop the guy asked me "Paper or plastic" I said "Paper thanks" Randy started laughing - seems they were asking me paper or plastic bags & I though it was how I was paying for it!!! - Melissa
- I also had trouble the first time I had a shower here, it took me about 5 minutes to work out how to get the tap to switch to the shower by lifting up the lever! How stupid am I - Nicole
- I've only been in the States 6 months and these telephone sales people for long distance carriers already piss me off!! - Sandra
- My own PERSONAL opinion (resulting from my own experience here), is that your happiness is solely dependent on what you make of it. I ranted and bitched about America for the first year or so, and was miserable too. I kept fighting against the differences, and not until I began to accept the differences instead, did I begin to fell happier about this country. - Rose
- I smile to know I'm an aussie that has be given the chance to really appreciate my home land by living in another - Heidi
