Do you know what they call Thanksgiving in Australia? Thursday.
And they call the 4th of July, July 4th. :)
I wonder what Christmas is like in Iran.
Well, the Australians certainly have a lot to be thankful for.
Mostly that they’re not New Zealand.
My Aussie husband and I moved to Sydney a little over a year ago.
I hate to say it, but … it just doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving and Christmas. And that makes me miss what I have always known. Home. America.
That’s your fault then. But at least you didn’t move to a Muslim country with a Muslim husband.
I thought an Aussie told me once that they don't have 4th of July in Australia.
I quit following her on Facebook when she posted “Yayy!” When Australia approved gay marriage.
Why move to another country for a guy? Cannot she find an American husband? So stupid.
I hope she can speak Australian.
If not, I think Obama is giving lessons.
They a 3rd and two fifths. :)
Whatcha say, Sheila?
Should I throw another goanna on the Barbie for ya?
Sure, Australians call that date the fourth of July, or 4 July. In Australia, the format for writing dates is dd/mm/yyyy
“But when it comes time to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, I hate to say it, but … it just doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving and Christmas”
Me and my family lived in Sydney from Sept 1984 to March 1985 and we got to celebrate Christmas there. They basically use that time (until about a couple of days after New Years) for summer vacation and celebration, as particularly New Year’s Eve is a big party there. I remember just the nice summer weather and going to the beach both on Christmas Eve (watching Magnum PI later that evening, lol) and Christmas Day. You might miss the trappings of a traditional American or Canadian Xmas, but for me it was that kind of a fun and enjoyable experience on that occasion for what it was worth.
Besides Do you think she should have gotten your permission who she could marry?
In the USA the correct patriotic term is “Independence Day”.
I probably watched that segment
I have a picture taken with her and Anisley. My wife tells anyone she showed it too that I look a little too happy. Then,I say that I look very happy!
Aside from the poisonous snakes, driving on wrong side of road, and worse gun laws than Manhattan, Australia sounds like a fun place.
