Hey all,
It's been a great week! We've been lucky enough to have some friends from overseas come to stay, one from Texas and one from the UK. It's been great to show them our beautiful city.
A couple of things struck me though - firstly how much we don't know about how home country or city (in my case Melbourne Australia) or how much we might have known once, but have now forgotten. For example, one of them was asking about Monotremes, as we were at Healesville Sancturary. Now somewhere back in the dim distant past I probably knew quite a bit about egg laying mammals - but really had to think about it!
The other fascinating thing is the words we use and the way we look at the world. We often think of Australia/UK and USA having fairly similar cultures. It's not that way at all!! It was amazing just how many little differences there are between us.
Doesn't that make the world an interesting place to be! So thanks to our friends for enriching us with your visit - I think we got as much from it as you guys did!!
Ciao,
SB
