( na ulicach Brisbane..)... Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
Oh and...... Only in Australia ... can a pizza get to your
house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Australia ... do supermarkets make sick people walk
all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions
while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Australia ... do people order double cheeseburgers,
large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Australia .... do banks leave both doors open and
chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Australia ... do we leave cars worth thousands of
dollars on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the
garage.
Only in Australia ... do we use answering machines to screen
calls... And then have 'call waiting' so we won't miss a call
from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Australia ... are there disabled parking places in
front of a skating rink.
NOT TO MENTION...
3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on
their tongue.
142 Aussies were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins
from new shirts.
58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives
instead of screwdrivers.
31 Aussies have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas
tree... while the fairy lights were plugged in.
8 Aussies had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper
with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the
last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
And finally,
In 2000 eight Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing
up into the toilet.

Good to know:)actually I am just preparing my presentation about Australia maybe not about the people but the vowels and consonants but I may reveal those info during our HEL classes what do you think?:). What about today's exams?
That's a good one ;) and do you still want to go there?...:)
WOW! I have never learned in my life about Australia so much as I had from this. Hm. I wish I could go and visit that country and check in by myself. Have you ever been there? I would be quite interested in your observations.
I'm planning to go there after summer. Still need to talk about it with parents... :/
