guh DAY / hello
Latina Russ’s daughter is doing a semester abroad in Australia. The whole family is going to head down to see her once summer vacation hits, and we’ve either been invited to come along or made ourselves a nuisance and are going to tag along — bought the airline tickets yesterday and while H is not well pleased about what is going to amount to an entire calendar day of being on a plane, we are going. Tirana > London > Singapore > Sydney. At least we get a little layover in Singapore, that airport looks cool as heck.
So in honor of the future milestone of adding another continent to my personal checklist, I’m hitting the low-hanging fruit of Australian English. You can look forward to future entries like “shrimp on the barbie” or “that’s not a knife.”
