You know...

you’re Australianised (or Canberranised) when:

• you leave your lights on when you sleep


• you leave your laptop on 24 hours a day


• you don’t lock your room/house door


• you don’t lock your bathroom door


• you feel weird when the flies that fly near you move away when swatted


• you feel sticky and sweaty nearly most of the day because of the HOT weather


• you cross a zebra crossing not looking at cars (only to get horribly honked and shouted at)


• you say hello to every person you meet on the street (only to get weird stares)


• you say “thank you” to the bus driver (and he looks at you as if you were from another planet)


• you are no longer used to mosquito bites even though you’ve been a target since young


• walking along the roads are a hard chore because of the heat


• you are not used to seeing huge shopping malls STUFFED with people


• you are not used to shops being opened after 5pm


• you try to drink tap water and harshly realise that you shouldn’t right before the water goes into your mouth


• you see sooo many shopping malls and hospitals within a short driving distance from each other


• you are not used to traffic jams, turning a 3-lane road into 5 lanes


• the polluted air gets to you and you sneeze ever so often


• you find it hard to travel anywhere without a car

Feel free to add on more. These are just a few that I came up with whilst babysitting for cousins who are here to bug me and destroy my entire week’s plans.
