Tipikal Orang Australia

Saya ternyata sudah lebih dari setahun tinggal di sini. Tapi saya belum berani menjawab pertanyaan "orang Australi tuh seperti apa sih?", karena tentu saja sampel saya gak akurat alias tidak representatif, karena wilayah jelajah saya cuman Perth dan sekitarnya...

Untuk itu bagi Anda yang tertarik mengenai "kayak apanya", maka berikut adalah versi internetnya. Judulnya adalah "You know you’re Australian if …".

Silakan simak:

You know you’re Australian if:
1)You've had an argument with your mate over whether Ford or Holden makes the better car!

2) You've done the "hot sand" dance at the beach while running from the ocean back to your towel.

3) You start using words like "reckon" and "root" and call people "mate".

4) You stop greeting people with "hello" and go straight to "how ya doin'?"

5) You've seriously considered running down to the shop in a pair of Ugg boots

6) You own a pair of ugg boots.

7) You have a story that somehow revolves around excess consumption of alcohol and a mate named "Dave".

8) You've risked attending an outdoor music festival on the hottest day of the year.

9) You own a pair of thongs for everyday use, and another pair of "dress thongs" for special occasions.

10) You don't know what's in a meat pie, and you don't care.

12) You've squeezed Vegemite through Vita Wheat to make little Vegemite worms.

15) You've played beach cricket with a tennis ball and a bat fashioned out of a fence post.

16) You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok, and have told a mate in tough times that "She'll be right, mate"

17) You use the phrase, "no worries" at least once a day, and know what 'Push off, ya flamin' drongo!' means.

18) You've been on a beach holiday and have probably stayed in a caravan.

19) You constantly shorten words to "brekkie", "arvo" and "barbie"

20) You measure a journey in beer, not kilometres or time. (That's a 3 beer trip mate)
