Here's a list of funny things I've noticed so far.
Burger King is called Hungry Jacks.
Tire is spelled Tyre.
Yield is "Give Way."
Cotton candy is called Fairy Floss.
There is a drink called a fairy bomb that is an absinthe energy drink. Oh. My. God.
The phrase for shit's hit the fan is "it's gone pear-shaped", and it's all good is "she's apples."
A glass of beer is called a pot, and in Queensland the next biggest size is called a scooner.
To be continued! :)
HEY! I'm so happy that you're there safe and sound, and seeing some amazing things!! I read all of your blog entries and I must say I'm jealous about the cute little Joey you saw lol. But that's great about the maybe internship you might have with the vet down there! I really hope it happens! Lol I think that its hilarious that Burger King is called Hungry Jacks. Oh! And the aboriginal tour of the botanical gardens sounded very exciting, too lol. But I hope the weather gets a little nicer and you move into your fabulous apartment soon! Good luck with all the walking and exploring!
