adventures with Australian culture

[laurenhat]

I love the moments when traveling where you can’t tell what’s part of the foreign culture and what’s just a misunderstanding. At least, I love them afterwards.

I had a (slightly ironic?) coffee snorting moment at "what do I do with the space in my cup?!?!?!?!".

The Australian tendency to end sentences on an upward tone is also something that happens here in California, although in a slightly different way

I am back in the U.S. at this point, but I did get to experience beet(root) on burgers while there. :) I also had a meat pie, though not a great one, unfortunately. I'll have to go back for more sometime! And to visit NZ, which I didn't hit this time around. My best friend lives in Adelaide, so I plan to go back to the region periodically.

"Excuse me- is there something Australian going on here?"

I'm totes gonna save that. :)

It's one of those questions that should definitely be in phrase books. :)

Predictably, all of this made me giggle.
