RT @LandLopers: @tweetingtalya @Vacations_w_mom No, I'd definitely say that Melbourne is more San Fran. It's very walkable, almost European…

replying to @Australia @Australia A5 In Australia, “pissed” means drunk. It does not mean angry like in the U.S. Also, “stuffed” means tired, not full of food. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills Beyond the obvious, I love how they say Brizzie instead of Brisbane (Briz-bin), prezzie instead of present, etc. They say "how ya going?" instead of "how are you doing?" Probably my favorite is pronounce "mo-bile" instead of mobile or cell. #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers @tweetingtalya @Vacations_w_mom Agree. Or I feel like Sydney is more la, Melbourne more Brooklyn. Either way, they are two very different, unique cities #TravelSkills

A4 Small thing that's surprised me: I'm having trouble finding hotel rooms that accommodate 4 people in Sydney. Trying to do it on the cheap because we're not there long, but it looks like we'll need to do two rooms for our fam. #TravelSkills @Australia

replying to @Australia @Australia A6 I’d love to visit Tasmania. I’ve heard it’s rugged and cool like Northern California or Ireland. Best apples in the world, too! #TravelSkills
