things you should know about oz

sunscreen in oz is much stronger than in the states. our 60 doesn't even equal their 30. buy your suncream there, so your skin doesn't melt away like mine did!

auzzie's are a bit obsessed with the "oc" due to our crap reality shows that brainwash their media flow

swim between the yellow and red flags hoisted on the beach. it means patrolled waters, for riptides, sharks, jellyfish

oz is always in a drought, two buttons on a toilet: push one for #1 and one for #2

cars do not stop for pedestrians, they will run you over even if there is a crosswalk

aborigines are what they call their natives. they are not viewed with high regards, in some parts of oz it is illegal to sell them alcohol. so if an aborigine tries to get you to buy them booze….do not

currency: australian dollar

drive on the left side of the road, steering wheel on the right

coffee is an art, no joke

iced coffee - has milk, sugar and ice cream in it…..intense

you need a visa to visit this country and you have to buy it before you land there

passionfruit is a real fruit and it's a tasty delight =)

australians are a bit lazy in the lingo category, they shorten everything:
mcdonalds = macca's
australians = auzzie's (not aussie's)
brisbane = brizy
tasmania = tazi
