Aussies

even when i lived in NZ, i didn't actually know that many. sure, my boyfriend was Aussie (but then again not really), and there were obviously quite a lot of them around, but i didn't know them personally.

since i've started working here, i've become surrounded with them. there are at least 5 of them at work, and i know at least 4 of them outside, people i hang out with on a regular basis. it's just so weird, it feels surreal. and now, i find out one of the TV channels is going to show Home & Away! starting at season 18, which will make it oh-so-easy for the French to understand... they'll have missed out on Angel and Shane...
