Chicka Cherry Cola - General Observations from Australia

  • First and foremost, much to our pleasure, Australians love Savage Garden! Hard to go a day without hearing them on the radio.
  • Things are expensive in Australia
    • beer, coffee, pop, shoes, electronics
  • The coffee is weird. They drink instant at home and flat whites and long blacks in shops
    • Meg loves flat whites, they are a tiny bit of coffee filled with hot milk. Long Blacks are a shot of espresso filled with hot water. Where is my medium regular!?
  • With all the dangerous animals here the Magpie bird has emerged as the one Meg is most affraid of.
  • Australians are very friendly people. We first noticed with the transit staff who are more than helpful. TTC take note!
  • Megan doesn't like to use paragraphs when writing/typing
  • Many of the plants look like they're from Jurassic Park
  • Each day I see someone that looks identical to Drillbit Taylor.  I've double checked a few times to make sure it wasn't him.
  • Backpackers are super friendly people - and generally European.
  • Megan is a Pharmacys' dream client.
  • Australians use bread for the hot dogs and butter it.
  • Devin more than doubled his lifetime number of non-required novels read in two months.
  • There are lizards everywhere.
