Quarantine postal service

My sister in NJ sent a package on March 20. Today July 15, we received that package in Australia. It took 117 days but I’m glad we finally got it! Our parcel must have passed many hands and I hope that each of those people are safe and sound!

American in Australia

I came across this article on my Facebook newsfeed: I normally try to steer clear of opinion pieces of Americans because I don’t want to be exposed to more negativity.

Happy 4th of July!

So today is the 4th of July in Australia which means nothing to Australians.  Tomorrow when it’s the 4th of July in America, everyone will be celebrating America’s Independence and I really hope they know what they’re celebrating and that the people in this video were just the minority.

Geography

Not one of my strong suits and definitely not these people’s either. Australians try to label the American states – I think I would do poorly as well. Americans try to label Australian states – Until I moved here I would haven’t gotten any of it! My geography teacher didn’t teach much.  Shoot, I can’t even […]

Australian in America

I saw this article posted on Facebook and found it accurate and funny, except for the politics and guns.  Never in all my years there did I hear someone bring up politics with a total stranger or in random conversation.  I’ve encountered more people talking politics here than I ever had while living in the […]
