The thing I hear from almost all Americans is that they’d love to visit Australia, but are freaked out by our spiders and snakes that apparently live absolutely everywhere and will kill you as soon as you step off the plane. Seriously. I am entirely amused by this. Until I remember that yes, I have seen a red bellied black snake in real life (ie not in a zoo), my dog was bitten by a brown snake... 

Today, January 26, is the day we celebrate our Aussie-ness. Our family will be celebrating, even though we’re miles away. (Insert song like I Still Call Australia Home or my favourite, Great Southern Land – oh what the heck, I will).

Living in the USA is really similar to living in Australia. You know, there are schools, public transport, etc. But some things, little things, can make it seem really freaky. And that’s really fun. For example, the mail. In Australia you have a home letterbox where mail is delivered to monday to friday. If you want to send snail mail, you go to the post office.
