| August 6, 2002 Australia... the land where the term "mate" is used very frequently to mean "friend" or "buddy"... where lemonade isn't really lemonade... where trains are much smaller than in the states, but cleaner... where bathrooms are called "toilets"... where trash cans read "rubbish" on them... where the mornings are CHILLY, but the days are warm (at least in the winter!)... where they drive on the opposite side of the road!!!... where when you've found the good guys, you've really found 'em... where Burger King is named "Hungry Jack's"... where you need to go to an internet cafe to have access to email... where 'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'The Simpsons' are very popular... where QCL has been burglarized (Darra office) 7 times in the last 2 months... where there are loads of Asians, but not enough Desis!... where you can't find the 'stop' button on the buses (point of extreme frustration for me)!!!! |
