Yesterday Tanya took the day off and took me out for my first grocery store experience. So many different foods, and some that are the same, like Kit Kat bars, just different packaging. Other things are exactly the same, just with a different name. Like they call a cantaloupe a rockmelon. We got enough food to last us, and Tanya was really nice ( Read more... )

they sell nutella in washington too.. I've never really been a fan.. all the sugar makes my teeth throb so it sucks. It's super good in between graham crackers though.. the only way to go.

Don't toilets in the southern hemisphere flush counter clockwise (or whatever is opposite of the way our toilets flush)? I've personally always thought that was kinda weird. lol

Nutella must be a pacific thing... haha. Tanya said that all aussie kids eat it for breakfast. i told her it sounds like one of things my parents woudln't have bought for me growing up. haha.

They flush clockwise i think.. the thing is their toilets do more of a sucking than a swirly flush so i haven't been able to take note of that. but i'll fill the sink up with water and let it drain and report back to you.

Oh, my God - it's about time you taught those Aussies to speak English! You had better not come home speaking some "foreign" language!!!!

My mom told me to sound REALLY Texan when I got here, and to sound REALLY Australian when I came home. I'm trying my hardest to follow directions, I really am!
