Some little differences


  • Lavatories are "vacant" or "engaged".


  • "Burger King" is "Hungry Jack's".


  • Convenience stores do not sell beer.


  • "Light beer" means near-beer (think Mormon, super low ABV).


  • "Dry beer" refers to what we call light beer.


  • "Driveways" are "car-parks".


  • The smallest legal tender is the five cent piece.


  • The smallest coin we've found is actually a 2-dollar piece.


  • Rice Bubbles.


  • It is fall here, so it's getting dark at 5:30 PM.


  • Palm trees and deciduous trees living in harmony!
