#10. They swear a hell of a lot less here.

But then, the Australia who lived in Scotland was always going to find that.

My moment of realization: Yesterday I left my bank card in the slow-as-can-be ATM. As I was walking down the street, the wholesome-looking teenage boy who was with his kindly-seeming mother who was in line at the ATM behind me ran up to me and yelled "mister, you left this."

I immediately remembered, and yelled "oh god damn it!" purely on instinct. 
And then I realised...

I was telling this an Australian female friend who had this story to tell.

I was in a bar in Boston watching the Superbowl playoffs, when some dude yelled out "aww, shit!" and was immediately told off by about 3 other dudes to "watch your language, there are ladies present!"
Oh, my poor delicate female... ears? I didn't get the chance to tell him that I'm Australian and therefore immune to his adorable American swears, but it was temping.

    About this blog

    Musings, frustrations and wonderment from an Australian who moved to the US having never visited the country before. 

    ​This is the fifth country I have lived in in five years, and if I've learned one thing, it's that every place has its pros and cons.
