#1. Where did you put the internet? (You wouldn’t think it would be easy to misplace the Internet on a daily basis – but our internet connection is a little “flash drive” thingy that functions like a wireless cell phone connection to the internet – we can never remember where we put it!)
#2 Did you hide the computer? (since security is always a concern, when we leave our rooms, in addition to locking our door – we hide the computer too)
#3. Man it’s hot – about 35 degrees today! (35 degrees Celsius about 95 degrees Fahrenheit)
#4. Oh don’t worry about that…it’s just the rat living in our ceiling (HUGE rat that is…sounds more like a German Shepherd running around up there –more strange than a rat living in our ceiling is the fact that we don’t think much about it)
#5. Uh-oh – we forgot to get milk and now it’s 6:02 pm and the grocery store is already closed for the night. (6 pm is the normal time it closes - everything shuts down SO EARLY here).
#6. Yes, I would like a bag. (at the grocery store a bag is optional and it costs a few cents extra/ I guess some people carry their items out in their arms)
#7. Unleaded petrol please. (That’s what we say when we pull up to the gas station. Want to pump your own gas here? Forget it! All gas stations are full service and no one calls it “gas” – everyone says “petrol”)
