I agree with many of the things you said re the ways the US is different from how things are in Australia as well as NZ, but I loved it there as well the couple of times I have visited.Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-83829436600676453552012-12-18T02:04:39.725-08:002012-12-18T02:04:39.725-08:00Grace, fascinating post!

I'd love to see one of those expresso book machines in action :) It makes me wonder if the book department in stores is eventually going to look like a photo lab, with customers sitting in front of computers to order their books.

I think Australia is more like NZ in most of these points.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-59992932237621395322012-12-17T13:38:07.567-08:002012-12-17T13:38:07.567-08:00My other big thing is tax!

(I've been informed this is because the Supreme Court decided that making companies incorporate tax into their prices is unconstitutional - really?!)Kara Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482245933455012714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-79141437088356618912012-12-17T05:16:35.523-08:002012-12-17T05:16:35.523-08:00Obviously, I'm not going to tackle all of thes...Obviously, I'm not going to tackle all of these, but I have to say that *I DO* recycle. And in Florida hanging clothes out to dry? In this humidity??? :P <br /><br />As for the address numbers and radio station letters--I'm as lost as you are :).<br /><br />And four-way stops...they don't scare me but they annoy me because so many people have no clue what to DO at them. <br /><br />We do have the best restaurants!<br /><br />And it was pretty dang cool getting my books while you were here! :DKat Heckenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690721679155795038noreply@blogger.com
