I'm in Australia. Woo! And the internet is finally working. Double woo! I think this is mostly going to be travel-bloggy stuff until I start living a real life. Um... woo?
Since I know everyone is wondering, I will get this out of the way right now: toilets don't spin the other way when you flush them. In fact, they don't spin at all. Every toilet I've used so far shoots the water straight down. However, I do not yet have a decent sample size, so if I gain any new information, I'll try to get the word out as soon as possible.
I have another myth to bust. Kangaroo does not taste like chicken. It tastes like cow. Or steak, to be more specific. Really good steak.
Some things you have heard are true, of course. Australians do, in fact, have Australian accents.
I don't know what else you might have heard, so if you have questions you can ask them instead of me trying to guess what they are.
I could really get used to living in the tropics. "Winter" in Cairns means maybe a low of 60 at night. Right now it's 70 ish with a nice breeze. At six o'clock. Of course, it's also getting dark, but since Cairns seems to be a nightlife city, I'm not too worried.
Cairns, for those who don't know, is generally pronounced CANS, though I've also heard KEENS and CANES a few times. As long as you drop the R, you're probably good. Which grandma hasn't quite managed to figure out yet.
I'm done now. Abrupt yes, but... I will blame jetlag.
Cheers
