Moments associated with living in the USA - 3

After hearing me describe my escapades described below, Jamie came home from work with a website kindly provided by someone he works with who is from Melbourne. In the e-mail she wrote to me via him, she even e-mailed a list of Australian TV programmes should I need to hear some Antipodean voices!

She said "I don't know if you've seen this site before but I thought I'd share the address with you. I have enjoyed wasting some time reading, smiling and nodding along with many of the things written here. If you get a moment I think it is worth a look just to reassure yourself that it doesn't just happen to you... http://www.aussieinamerica.com
It is described by the author as: 'A "light-hearted yet insightful" look at the cultural differences between Australia and America, as based on my experiences as an Aussie expat living in the United States of America.' "

I can really relate to the "telemarketer" section (I must try playing Mary had a little lamb with the 4, 5 and 6 buttons on the phone!) especially seeing as on the weekend there were 3-4 calls each day by the political parties. Also the "language" (I don't get the 'erbs' and so now wont even try to) and "decidedly different" (so it's not just me puzzled by the 'pay cheque', the light switches ARE upside down and the taps do turn the opposite way off is on and on is off - confusing in the shower because I make it colder when trying to make it hotter....) sections.
