Caught between a rock and a crazy place. Posts: 3,878 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: Feb 14, 2007 I come from... Rio Grande Valley, Texas I now live in... Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia	I found a series of essays on the differences between Australia and the US, written by an Aussie in Canberra. Although I'm guessing she has never been to the States and has limited contact with Americans, I thought her observations were surprisingly accurate and non-judgmental.

I think it would be great if both embassies in Canberra, and Washington D.C. had this on their websites!! Education 101...
