One week to Australia!

G'Day!

As an introductory blog post for my trip Down Under, I thought it would be fitting to share some of the random things I've learned about Australia while digging through travel guides, blog posts and newspaper archives.
  1. Do all Australians wrestle crocodiles? Yes, even though sometimes the 5-year olds lose, it's true that most grandmothers fair better than Chuck Norris.
  2. Do Australians walk upside down? Yes, if you're using this map.
  3. What's most likely to kill me Down Under? Drop bears
  4. With the current exchange rate, how many In-N-Out Burgers can I buy in Sydney? None.
  5. How likely am I to develop an accent while Down Under? I'm about 25% likely, but I'll probably have to work at it. Or I could watch Crocodile Dundee a few hundred times or just Ask Yahoo.

Steven,

Have a safe and enjoyable flight. It will be a very long one, but worth it once you arrive and get settled. Do keep us posted as to your adventures down under.

Love you,

Dad
