So what is it like really like here?
Driving on the wrong side is OK now, even navigating complex car parks. Drivers are considerate for the most part, very few push-ins. I now do the freeway each way and its OK. Car parks are about the same width, but have a 12inch band between them. Despite a lot of larger vehicles, they are only the same length. So the big utes just don't fit.
I really like the "OK to turn right on a red light" rule.

There are 3 military airfields and an international airport here. LOTS of aircraft noise. No one complains. Very proud of their military here. San Diego is the home for 60 large ships. Navy Seals and TopGun was based here.

African American girls, let's say under 30s, strongly smell like fruit. Watermelon, Strawberry etc. Perfumes are like strong fruit essence. Hispanic women smell like cinnamon and spice, vanilla. The whiteys are like everywhere else. Men are men. Not noteworthy except for the BO infused ones, can be any race. Lots of Spanish is spoken. There are two latin american women working at the business I'm at, they have really pleasant accents. So easy to listen to.

The local big grocery store chain here is Ralph's. Way more variety of food. WAY MORE. They have a normal price and cheaper Ralph's card price. I been to the nearest one twice. Been served by the same Mexican lady twice. Both times she pulled out a card from under a folder to give me a better price. 10% off.

This place is busy. Just busy.

If an ad for a drug is played on TV, they also read out ALL the possible side effects. 15secs for ad, 45 for why it will maim or kill you.

Power points have no switches. Just plug it in and go.

Most people have an idea about metric, but want to hear it in imperial.

The trees at either end of the hotel car park are Moreton Bay figs.Read more
