Nobody questioned you because you're at least speaking English...NeoNSX said:So far nobody has questioned me about my accent... though plenty of shop workers have asked me to repeat what I'm saying. LOL. I'm having fun relating between Aussie and American names -- for example, you have "flip flops" but in australia we call them thongs. You can imagine the shopkeepers look when i said i wanted to buy "these thongs" and hand him a pair of flip-flops!
One last funny thought, the six-lane freeways are so cool here. In Australia i think the largest is a 5-lane highway in Queensland linking The Sunshine Coast with the Gold Coast. And your freeways are just like the computer game GTA:San Andrea's....without the car-jackings.
Ahh, there's beautiful freeways here at times. However, the best one is 280 in the Bay Area, between San Jose and San Francisco... Highway 1 is worth a trip.
