Australianisms 2:
- "yeah" at the end of a phrase is very common
- paper has 7 holes instead of three here
- planners are called "diaries"
- cars drive on the left therefore people walk on the left. This makes it very hard for an american to walk down the street.
- some crosswalks here are four ways as in you can walk across the intersection diagonally
- shrimp are called prawns
- Australians watch a lot of American news.
- They also watch a lot of cricket

| 7 hole punch paper and a 2 ring binder... |
7-hole paper is pretty scary and un-useful, you should probably move back because of that. just sayin'
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lauren about the paper! I,d probably try to string things through the holes. like twine or ribbon. then put a bird on it.
ReplyDeletedo they also call shrimp "shrimps?"
Is the European financial crisis a big deal down there? like it's probably the end of the world here?
Shrimps are called "Prawns" here and idk about the financial crisis. We dont have a TV but when I was watching the news the US financial news is HUGE here.
