- Jason has mentioned that even though they are on the metric system here, all of the structural steel sizes are just English conversions. For example, here, you might have a 101.6mm pipe. When converted this is 4" on the nose. Weird.
- Have you ever been to a zoo and have a 1 year old ask you "wassat?" (What's that?) and you find that 9 times out of 10 you don't know the answer and you run around looking for the signage that tells you it's a cassowary or a wombat or some other strange animal.
- When one phrase is used in place of "you're welcome", "no problem", "not a big deal", and "don't worry about it" (to name a few) it can become overwhelming. "No worries, mate" is the most said phrase here by far!
- Babysitters get paid $20/hr here. I am slightly torn about this news. On one hand, that's my business and thus I could make a boatload. On the other, we have to pay a babysitter to get out without the little lady.
- "Everyone knows Fijians can't handle their booze." You don't hear that kind of stereotyping in America.
