Well, i decided that since April and I are having to learn some new terms, that all of you might be interested in learning with us! We have found that many normal words that we use are different here. Here are a few that we have learned so far.
The States
1. Sidewalk
2. Raisins
3. Shrimp
4. Restroom
5. Receipt
6. Shopping Cart
Australia
1. Footpath
2. Sultanas
3. Prawns
4. Toilets
5. Docket
6. Trolley
I will add more later, but that is all i can think of right now.
Yesterday, we tried to get internet at the apartment, but we weren't able to because we found out that our place does NOT have a phone line (landline) installed in it so we have to get that done first. Hopefully we will have a refrigerator and washer today because we need to do laundry and have no place to store our food!!! Keep us in your prayers. April took her resume to 10 different hair salons yesterday so hopefully one of them will contact her back. Thanks.

Seems like you should keep yer brolly handy...and don't get yer knickers in a twist (sorry...I've been talking to Trixie... and then you said you were learning the new language!)
Wish I could send you a fridge...will pray that someone delivers one to your door
