temari wrote in message ink.net...
How about some Australian comics? Also sounds good. In fact, I'm thinking we're all (including me) forgetting that sometimes it's the everyday, trivial things that can be the most surprisingly different. So here are still more suggestions... kids' and young adult magazines the "funny pages" from a newspaper or 2 junk food --***check the USDA and US Customs Service to find out what's OK to bring back and what isn't*** Vegemite (that's a staple, not junk food!). Depending on your audience, maybe pictures (your own) of everyday life: "wrong way" traffic road signs 2-button toilets school buses those Hungry Jack's and Street's Ice Cream signs that look suspiciously familiar ;-) electrical outlets (and their switches) and more...

forgetting that sometimes it's the everyday, trivial things that can be the most surprisingly different. So here are still more suggestions... kids' and young adult magazines How about Adult.....period? The one and only (honestly, that's my story and I'm sticking to it....) Playboy I have ever purchased was the Australian version which had the interview with Appalling Hanson. Worth its weight in.....silicone? the "funny pages" from a newspaper or 2 junk food --***check the USDA and US Customs Service to find out what's OK to bring back and what isn't*** Vegemite (that's a staple, not junk food!). Yes indeedy! I brought back several jars just to see the look on people's "they actually EAT this stuff" faces. Oh, and a few for me too but don't tell anybody! and more... Nova Scotia only requires one (rear) license plate on cars......mine bear my SA "MAPLE 1" counterparts. Gets some comments!

It's just that they're quite unusual items in the northeastern, midwestern, and southeastern parts of the U.S., where I've lived, and so they're one of the things that caught my attention when I first visited Australia. And be honest--what's more likely to be part of a typical modern Aussie's life: befriending pelicans and fending off venomous beasties, or using the toilet? ;-) Nancy
