Ah Lemon and Paeroa, how I long for your smooth embrace once more, its been too long.smallharmlesskitten post=18.72990.779786 said:You know your in New Zealand (paeroa to be precise) when you see a gian L&P bottle
Actually the best story I heard about that bottle was that teenagers used to get drunk, take their cars and do doughnuts round it much to the annoyance of locals.
Then one year it flooded in Paeroa, and some genius got smashed, got a speedboat, and started doing doughnuts around the bottle.
As they say, New Zealand Represent!
What, nowhere else have drive through bottle shops?! Sheez.jim_doki post=18.72990.779873 said:
I also found something out, a British friend was telling me, our obsestion with BBQ's is rediculous. Nowhere but Australia has BBQ's in their parks.
You know you're in Vancouver when you see a chapter of Hell's Angels hanging out at Tim Hortons.

Reminds me of another one.
You know you're in Australia when Parramatta is just south of Baulkham Hills. Gotta love our cocktail of Aboriginal and British place-names.
Also, I didn't realise how many Aussies there were here on the Escapist
I beg to differ good sir. There are BBQ's in the parks all around where I live (FL)PurpleRain post=18.72990.779881 said:

You know you're in Boston when people look at you suspiciously for no reason.
You know you're in Boston when you can't find an all-ages show.
You know you're in Boston when public transit closes after 1. And a cab ride costs $40. Once again, for no reason.
You know you're in Boston when the only minorities that exist on the main shopping district are the beggars.
You know you're in Providence (Federal Hill, more precisely) when people want to throw their brooms at you for standing around. Or look like they're pulling out imaginary weapons.
You know you're in Rhode Island when everything that you could possibly need is a thirty minute drive away.
You know you're in SoCal (more specifically, Orange or San Bernadino Counties) when, to entertain themselves, your friends/family drive around, look at houses, and armchair appraise them.
You know you're in Texas (specifically, Austin), when you realize that 50% of a major city is just farm or undeveloped land.

You know you're in 1692 Salem when you are being accused of witchcraft and hanged.
You know you're in in India when...
... a person is riding a cow-drawn wagon in the middle of a highway.
... you find out that the toilets are nothing more than holes in the ground.
... the pancakes are disgusting (seriously...).
... you find that badminton is being played more than tennis.
... every movie you see is a musical.
... every DVD is a pirated copy (even the ones you buy from high-end stores).
... a household goes crazy over a small lizard (sure, the thing's highly poisonous, but stop screaming and let me play Rogue Squadron.)
Just so you know,I live in the U.S., but visit my family in India every summer.
