Always look right, left, then right again!! haha We had to remember that often whilst crossing the road. I thought a post about some other "aussie" slang and things would be fun, so here are a few favorites:
~Pepper(green, red, yellow) is called Capsicum.
~If you had lots of fun, aussies actually say "heaps" instead of lots. "Aww yeah mate, we had heaps of fun!"
~Ordering coffee is a lot different too. You can't just say that you'd like a black coffee, there are actually many different types. IE: "long black" (for black coffee), "flat white" (for coffee with milk/cream and froth).
~You say "Cheers" for thank you.
~"brekkie" is the word for breakfast.
~"bathers and thongs" --swimsuit and sandals
~"I'll give you a bell." means to call someone.
~a stroller is called a Pram.
~"how you goin'?" means how are you doing?
~"sunnies" are sunglasses
~"jumper" is sweater or fleece.
Last day in Australia...it's kind of surreal actually. I feel like this week went by extremely fast! Russ was an amazing tour guide, we can't wait to share all of the photos with you! We're spending the day in Perth city and seeing Kings Park/Botanical Gardens during the day. We'll soon be off on our next Adventure in Bali!!
