Australian Encounters

If you have lived in Australia long enough, you probably have the following experiences:

. you wonder why the bus stop is always located at the junction of the streets where traffic is the busiest.
. you need to call up the customer services officers of utility companies at least 3 times to update your personal details.
. you are in a queue where the customer services officer chats at least 20 minutes with each person in front of you.
. you hear from the announcement the next train will be delayed for half an hour when you have already waited for an hour.
. you take the rail on bus (rail bus) to the City on Sundays, as train lines are shut down for maintenance.
. your kids go to Chatswood barefooted, and lick their fingers after eating ice creams.
. you see beautiful topless blonds lying in Bondi on a sunny day who will turn belly up when you walk across.
. the only thing that moves slower than continental drift is the traffic on Pacific Highway after you drop your kids to school in the morning.
