4. Enjoy Australia and the Aussies! Most of them are awesome!
To my knowledge, there's not a lot they are deprived of. My Aussie buddies are getting our TV shows, so don't think they're lacking any food. What's typically American? We brought an Aussie buddy a Route 66 tin sign because he was aware of it from a movie.

9. My sister-in-law lives there.
She likes us to bring Jolly Ranchers candy.

I guess they don't have them -- or they did not the last time I saw her.
