OK. Steve and Lucas have been here officially for one year this month. (Wow, huh?) Sam, Cami and I have been here just shy of 10 months. Time has flown by and we are really getting the hang of things here, having a better idea what to expect with almost a year under our belt. All I can say is....WHEW; What a ride!
That being said, there are a few things about life here that I'm fairly sure we just won't ever get over...
Our top 10:
10. No good bread, pastry, or cookies. A sorely missed food component here.
9. Endless infomercials on regular network stations. Appalling.
8. Packaging in tiny portions. Can you say "COSTCO"?
7. "Cream" this and "custard" that. Yuck.
6. No shopping after 5 pm or on Sundays AT ALL. Hello???
5. Different meaning applied to common words; complete with secret Aussie handshake.
4. Pedestrians (even school kids) do not have the right of way;They'll mow you down!
3. The shopping carts (trolly's) roll sideways. They are uncontrollable.
2. Aussies will not look at you in the store isle and will make no attempts to be friendly or excuse themselves to get by. What the ???
And, the number one thing that sends me to the moon; (admittedly, the kids don't have a problem with this one)
1. Barefeet are permitted in the malls, grocery stores, restaurants, churches. No one wears shoes in Australia. Gross.
OK, that was the negative side. I feel better now. Stay tuned for the top 10 things we LOVE about Aussies and Australia!
