It took ages just to get the address I was at correct. Who would have thought having an Aussie accent would have caused so much trouble.
Trekhawk, I'm kind of chuckling at that! Reminds me of asking for a payphone at a gas station in Tennessee (before the days of cell phones)...the attendant kept saying, "There's one at the Baye-Pie." Finally, I asked her to point to it. She pointed across the road to the BP gas station. I am from Illinois, two states away. Imagine if it were half-way around the world...I'll bet you've gotten good at imitating an American accent in times of need!
