After being in Australia for almost two weeks, below are some differences from the US that have stood out or people have pointed out to me.
Elevators are called lifts.
After you say thank you, most people reply with "no worries."
Grills are called BBQs.
Trash is called rubbish.
Umbrellas are called brollys.
Australia has no one cent coin. They got rid of one cent years ago. Everything is rounded to the nearest five or ten.
What you see on a price tag or menu is what you pay. Tax is included in all prices posted.
Tipping in restaurants is optional. Many people have told us not to tip, but we've always left something.
While we were here, their students were on holiday for two weeks for winter break.
Mum is their word for mom. :)
Bathrooms are called toilets.
